    Beautiful model! It amazes me that the F104 can fly at all with those stubby little wings.

    • @bird271828
      @bird271828 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You are right. Little wings mean the aircraft has to fly fast.

      @ArneChristianRosenfeldt ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The model must be very light. Small jet in the back, fuel at the wings, rest in the nose.

      Hi Jeff. Many thanks for your kind comment. 🤗👍🏼
      I'm always amazed at how easy it is to fly the F-104. But when approaching for landing, you have to make sure that the speed is right.
      Have a great weekend 😀

      @@ArneChristianRosenfeldt model data in the description.
      No fuel tank in the wings or in the nose.
      The turbine isn't small 😉

    • @ArneChristianRosenfeldt
      @ArneChristianRosenfeldt ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I meant at the length of the wings. You cannot let center of mass shift when you use up fuel. The correct airfoil for 380 km/h (impressive speed, illegal in my country) is thick and would have plenty of space. I meant compared to a real F-104 ( which is basically only engine) the JetCat is shorter.@@RCScaleAirplanes

    Really great to see the F-104 RC in the tipless configuration.
    On the down side - the rel airplane has a -5° angle sitting on the ground - this otherwise fine model seems to have more lige a +5°
    and probably not possible but I'd love to a landing using a drag chute in an RC version

    • @ArneChristianRosenfeldt
      @ArneChristianRosenfeldt ปีที่แล้ว

      I saw a video about a fan jet. I think that is the largest you can get for a reasonable budget. Still to small for 1:1. Why can’t anyone build a derated star fighter engine? It is single spool. For sub sonic you get away with aluminum compressor. I would love to see a two spool though. Use a jetcat and this heli turbine to drive the axial compressor. It needs an ugly drive shaft, but uh, it is only RC !

    Perfektes Video Horst! Alleine die Startphase bei 0:42, eine 1/1 Scene aus dem Film "The Right Stuff", als Chuck Yeager mit der F104 abhebt & im Abflug von der Bahn das Fahrwerk einzieht - MEGA! Ganz großes Lob an Minute 05:30, perfekter Winkel um den Startfighter wie eine manntragende Maschine aussehen zu lassen! Alle Daumen hoch mein Freund! PS: Kleine Randnotiz & nur meine persönliche Meinung. Finde es nur ich nervig, dass die lästige Drohe jede perfekte Foto-, Film- & Tonaufnahme zerstört, indem sie kreischend durch die Linse saust?

      Hi Hannes. Vielen Dank für deinen tollen Kommentar.
      Ali fliegt die F-104 hervorragend. Schön weiträumig und ohne überraschende Manöver. Da kommt man gut mit dem Filmen hinterher.
      Ja ... das mit der Drohne ist schon störend, aber zum Glück war sie nur kurz bei der Landung im Weg. Störender ist bei Flugtagen immer die laute Hintergrundmusik, die TH-cam nicht gerne hört. Allein für dieses Video habe ich mindestens zwei Stunden damit verbracht, die Musik zu unterdrücken, ohne den Sound der Turbine zu verlieren.
