Beautiful model! It amazes me that the F104 can fly at all with those stubby little wings.
You are right. Little wings mean the aircraft has to fly fast.
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 😉
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
My Lord the pilot is a fantastic Ace flyer, and the Plane is just gorgeous ! The sound gives me goosebumps !
Many thanks. Glad to hear that you liked it. 🤙😎
If you didn't see the intro you would think it was a real life jet, even sounds full-size😮
Exactly. Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it. 🤙😎
Outstanding. The photography, flying and the model are second to none.
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it. 🤙😎
I have always loved the lines of the Starfighter. Such a futuristic looking design when it debuted.
A “rocket” with a tail and winglets.
Such an accurate vehicle and the pilot's control is astonishing!
Thankyou for sharing with us.
You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. 🤙😎
Spectacular. As so many usually say - how it flies with so little wing area is amazing. Very expertly piloted and making full use of that 550 motor... low passes really nice. Landing - perfect. :)
Hi Chris
I couldn't agree more. 🤗👍🏼
Thank you very much for your kind comment !!!
_Cheers Horst_
Can you please send me a short email so I can contact you?

THANKS 🥰
Gorgeous HUGE airplane, the F-104 is my all-time favorite fighter-jet, such a thrill and a beauty to see!
Astounding! Simple astounding! Both the pilot and the plane! I am in awe!
WOW!!!!! WHAT great camera work ...terrific display. What a model...well done team HORIZON!!!.😊👍
Stunning jet. Masterful piloting. 👌
One of the best demos I have seen. So fluid, so scale. Awesome 😎
This is THE pilot. Knows what we want to see. This is an entertainer. Great plane.
Wouah, amazing ! 👍 Thank for your work cam Horst.
Thank you my friend 🤗👍🏼
An outstanding display! And videoed as only you can Horst, very many thanks for posting this one! Chris B.
Well, “spectacular” just doesn’t seem enough to describe the aircraft and the pilot skills!
Absolutely beautiful…the a/c and Ali’s flying abilities…👍👍👍
Thank you for your great comment which I really appreciate 😎🤙🏼
Beautiful! All that is missing is that banshee howl from the intakes to that big J79!
Absolutely awesome model and flight demo!Sincere congrats and cheers from France!
A absolute majestic flight...! As though you owned the sky it's self... Cheers to you and a beautiful plane...
Superb demonstration. Man it was hard to see those wings during the head on moments!
Wow. This not only looks but even sounds real.
Thank you for your kind comment which I really appreciate !
That's huge, at that scale you should just build the full size 😮😅
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 !
good idea but it would cost a fortune
That taxi looks so real. Wow, just wow.
Wow! That rotation looked like it was at VMC considering the wing area of the 104.
The United States F-104 aircraft is absolutely the coolest jet aircraft that the United States produced. I love it. I loved it as a child watching it, in a lot of sci-fi movies I've never seen one up close and in person but man that is just one beautiful rocket ship.
Great airplane!one of the fastest interceptors of its time.
Beautiful landing at 5:06 👏👏👏👏
butter smooth 👍😎
🚀 superb
Thanks 🤗
it was a epic weekend, thanks for the video! ❤
So cool, I like RC jet models with a large scale
Excellent!
Glad you liked it!
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
Wow !!!! what an amazing machine .Ali you are the best.
Machinchy is one of the smoothest grandmaster RC pilots to ever grace this hobby.
The F-104 was hard to fly but boy was it fast.
Coolest fighter ever, and this model is incredible.
Wow. Amazing plane. Amazing pilot. Such tiny wings. Looks like a lawn dart when diving😂
Simply Stunning !
Fastest plane at sea lvl..988.26 MPH in 1977. Leading edges were so sharp they had to put covers on them to prevent hanger rash.😊
I want to make a air world f-104 someday😊 get Ali to do the maiden too😊
Good choice. Even the smaller one (1/4 scale) is quite large.
Ali is an excellent pilot. You can definitely trust him.
He was allowed to fly this Starfighter 3 times during the AIRMEET. The F-104 had already had its maiden flight a few weeks earlier.
@@RCScaleAirplanes and he knows I am a big fan of the F-104. I flew my 90mm F-104 at Best in the West two years ago, he presented me my trophy for best EDF for it. Maybe I will do the 1/4 scale first because it is easier to get here in the US.
Amazing flight!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing model and flying skills 👍
You guys ar the greastest may i slaute you for keeping these old war birds a live❤
Many thanks. Glad to hear that you liked it. 🤙😎
The plane is great, but the pilot is Fantastic! Smooth and very scale moves.
What a beautiful flight! Amazing!
Many thanks 👍😎👍
Nothing short of amazing! Beautiful plain, amazingly skilled pilot great video work, what's not to like?
Wow outstanding no words to say but congratulations fine job 💯👏🇺🇸👍
Really cool replica of one of my all time favorites How about a replica of a B-58 Hustler and of course, we can't forget the B-1 ''The Bone''
fantastic landing I have ever seen
If you take the fuselage of the 104...extend it a bit, put on really long wings..kind of looks like one of a next generation aircraft. U2
Полёт очень реалистичный, пилоту за управление-респект!!
*Let the Sunshine In...*
*YEAH !!!*
Well done.
Many thanks !
Bravo to that pilot ! That design almost seems more “lift worthy” flying inverted.
Wow !!!
Amazing jet
Damn, even has the sound. That model must of cost thousands.
Amazing plane👍👍👍…still my favorite jet, but I’m not neutral as an former F104G mechanic back in the German AF. This Norwegian color scheme is just perfect 😍
Thank you very much for your kind comment which I really appreciate.
By the way. The color scheme and markings are modeled after an original Starfighter flown by an experienced pilot in the 1960's. He was amazed when Trond showed him the model.
@@RCScaleAirplanes …yes, looks stunning and he didn’t exaggerate the weathering. The F104 hardly had any oil leaking just some rubbing on the tips because of sand and dust in the air, later the Tornadoes had oil leaks due to high pressure hydraulic and a different sealing😉
@@helischorsch9786 ... well said.
Trond had a workshop of building and finishing large RC airplanes in Norway until last year. Unfortunately he stopped his business, but he's still in the RC world.
Here you can see what he was doing over many years >>>

Klasse Modéll 👍
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.
VG, Horst
Awesome plane and great flying. Also, @RCScaleAirplanes, really good camera work. What camera gear are you using? The video quality and stability are really great
05:09 did that mini drone clip the tail of the jet?? Looked bloody close lol
These jets is what Ukraine needs!
not really because the range and operation time is very limited 😉
@@RCScaleAirplanesalong with the fact that they were extremely unstable
@@theblacksplit... that's another point 👍🏼😉
Mega 👍
Beautyful plane
Nice shot at 5:30. It looks like a full scale F-104.
This is what an RC airplane should look like 👍😎👍
Wow! sound just like the real F-104, and Ali is a great pilot too
NO WAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!! WOW!!!
I would think it would be picked up by radar and intercepted by the Air National Guard.
That pilot must be dizzy after these manouvres! 😉The way things are going, wont be long before 1:1 scale RC are on youtube. F104, One of my top five all time favourite jet aircraft. along with B52, F14, F4 Phantom and SR71.
Krazy kool
What are those markings?
Los alemanes tienen esos juguetes para diversión.
No quiero pensar si hubiesen ganado la guerra.
🐜
This RC widow maker needs more wing loading to be true to scale...
❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢
Fastest pencil in the world
you nailed it 🤙😎
freeze the video at 3:05 and tell me what you see !
Bird?
Do you guys have any 3d printed planes?
not yet
Bagus ❤
Thanks !!!
Many pilots lost their life in that plane...
I know. That's why it was called "widow maker".
They had a saying in Germany back then: ‚if you want to own a Starfighter buy a block of land and wait…‘
Missile with a man in it
Very unstable aircraft design, we use 2 call them lawn darts in the af...
Exactly 💯 👍🏼😉
spillone impressionante il miglior intercettore di sempre ... un missile
Is it just me or does the power to weight ratio seem off the charts, compared to the real life jet?
🫡thank you its fantastics!
Bellissimo. Lo. Spillone
