@@AlbanianGladiator not a better engine but a better designed exhaust that filters the high frequencies of the 2 stroke. There are many examples of such systems on youtube where 2 strokes sound much better.
Actually, the DLE 170cc engine sounds pretty good, and gives very good performance for such a big 1/3-scale Spitfire. Realistic flight speed and beautiful performance. The DLE 170 cc costs $1,000 USD and puts out 17.5 hp weighing 4 kg. An equivalent 4-stroke realistic-sounding Kolm engine IL230-V4 with 3 cylinders costs $6,000 USD , weighing 8 kg and puts out much less power due to it being a 4 stroke engine and turning only 6,000 rpm, while the DLE turns up to 9,000 rpm. The DLE-170cc engine has power-to-weight ratio of a turboprop engine while being very cheap to own and operate, and has very little vibration due to the horizontal-oppose 2-cylinder configuration.
Beautiful plane. Too many RC warbirds look like they just came off the shop floor. This Spitfire looks real. The smoke is cool, but a little bit goes a long way....
Hello! My friend!!! I am glad!!! To see you and your gorgeous plane!!!! My friend !!!! Breathtaking flights!!!! And soft landings! Clear sky!!! Твой друг Вадим!
Such a beautiful authentic looking plane. Love the metal, the minor details and the weathering effects. Love the smoke, some of those camera shots with the sky in the background are good enough to be put in a movie!
Gorgeous model, and flown so very well, too! Clearly the ol' Merlin is getting a bit tired, though; I think a new set of piston rings is required!! Thanks Pete......cheers, Dougal
Very good. You know that the RR Merlins had three sets of piston rings, while the Packard 266 Merlin had two? That sometimes caused them to seize because of poor lubrication?
A fantastic model! and an excellent flying display, but why put out great clouds of smoke? It completely ruins the display, apart from putting hideous stains up the sides od the aircraft.
You are completely right! If real Spitfire had smoked like that, than it would be very useless and unsuccessful fighter. Man, put that smoke away and it is great! Or put less smoke to proper place where it comes from.
We read the description - we just think that it takes away from the graceful lines of the Spitfire to have it constantly flying in a cloud of smoke. During aerobatics and maneuvers - yes, but basically takeoff til touchdown - it's overkill. Very nice plane though and nice flying.
Why so many internet Jack-wagons who feel it necessary to tell other people how to make their models/videos? Maybe they should make/fly their own models and edit their own videos as they see fit.
Lovely aircraft, I suppose the more is OK, it looks like one that has been in the battle with the Hun. I really admire the time and effort put in by these enthusiasts not to mention the expense.
What an awesome spity I love the size, smoke, realistic fully functional exhaust headers and the weathering is awesome hopefully this guy wins some prizes for having a model that looks so realistic. Thanks again for taking the time to get video and stills of this and every other plane you have filmed. Regards, Pete. Keep up the good work tbobborap.
I dont know what else to add for outstanding model, performance and flying.........unreal job. The other comments just said it all. Just a little dig...that pilot didnt have a regulation haircut!😃 Additionally how do they produce the smoke? Is it a oil reserve tank injecting oil in to the cylinders? Boy what a treat to watch this beauty. Fying with such grace in the air. Thanks again for sharing with all of us tbobborap1
Many thanks scott, yes eric put on a great display for sure, there is a separate tank full of specially designed environmentally safe smoke fluid (by law) and yes it is pumped but not directly into the cylinder as this would smother the engine power, rather it is pumped into the hot exhaust manifold and vaporizes instantly, also you can get different fragrances of smoke inc bubble gum or strawberry or peppermint or more flavors - i kid you not, thanks for supporting our channel over time scott, regards pete,
@Eric Reboul--Oui, d'accord, monsieur. The DLE 170 cc costs $1,000 USD and puts out 17.5 hp weighing 4 kg.

Actually, the DLE 170 sounds pretty good, and gives very good performance for such a big 1/3-scale Spitfire. Realistic flight speed and beautiful performance.
Very nice, defo needs a 4 bladed prop though. I'm guessing that the heavy weathering on the fuselage sides is a result of all that smoke rather than being painted on?
Nice model and control, but I've never seen a Spitfire so heavily weathered!! I'm sure for the real thing, the RAF had specs to ensure that the squadron codes, lettering and serial number remained legible? Also too much use of smoke - the Spit got hit by flak in the engine on its take-off run!! Far better - and more realistic - to have activated the smoke on it's last circuit and then brought it in to land with a "damaged" engine?
Beautiful. And so refreshing to see large ic engine being flicked over using safety glove to protect hands, a lot of our younger generation and up and coming young pilots watch these vids?.
+Team Hansen Honda G'day, I agree, a beautiful model, fully fucked up by a foolish fetish for fuming furiously...; it looks like it has an Oil-Fire, or a Glycol-Leak which goes on, for far too long. If one were filming a Movie of the Air-War over France in late 1945 , with Models, then this would be absolutey perfect for staging all the scenes of Spitfires crashing in flames...; but for Display-Flying it looks horrible, a visual anomaly.., an Aerobatic Engine-Fire.. (yuck !). It's great for visualusing the Airflow over, and the Downwash behind, the Wing's Aerofoil Section..; so, all the Fans of Henri Coanda (pardon that pun !) will no doubt be thrilled... *If* a Spitfire really really *must* be retrofitted to fart a controllable Smoketrail, then surely it's hot (insulated) Engine-Exhaust could've been plumbed internally to release the Vapour-trail from the underside of the Fuselage, in a single plume - rather than the alternating "Puff...Puff...Puff...Puff..." stacato alternating effect, which this example displays from it's 1-into-6-Pipe Dummy-Stacks on either side ; it's the dissipation of the point of emergence which fouls the look of the thing... In my humble pontification, anyway... ;-p Ciao !
fantsatic model and display. I watched a fair few today and this is the first that made me smile, it just had something else... and I don't mean the smoke.
Lovely model with really nice detail. Having built lesser models, I can vouch for the time, effort and skill that goes in. I could never get to grips with RC flying and sadly had to move on. Great to see the esperts. :)
This aircraft looks too good to be true and it was expertly flown at realistic speeds. I love the beaten up worn look, it looks like it has seen some service. Because it so good (perfect?) the engine sound and two bladed prop are the centre of attention...
Where can I get one of these please and Thankyou I’ve been looking for one I’ve also been saving up a lot as well I’m 19 years of age and had a massive pulp e for RC war birds like this guy does
Was all that smoke from the engine fuel or was there a smoke system installed? Certainly too much lubricating oil if from the fuel. A beautiful rendition of a Spitfire for sure, he worked mighty hard to bring that about !
Beautiful model and well flown too. Please though can you please change the spinner it is the wrong shape (too long) either way it is a magnificent model
I did! I took a close look by slowing down the footage and it does appear that during the flight the canopy was closed, so I guess he could control it.
I have never seen a wartime photo of any military plane left that dirty, even the squadron markings are illegible. The smoke only makes it look that much worse. Was this from the Royal Air Force or the Reaver Air Force? (Firefly movie reference)
I'm curious, does the engine really smoke that bad or is it just for show? Nice plane, very nice. video and the professionalism displayed in handling the plane is outstanding. I'd really enjoy attending one of the meets but I can't afford the expenses of the transportation to UK from the USA. Thanks for sharing.
very nice thanks for the video... this bird could be used in a war movie and after filming is finished it could be hanging in my home in beautiful Oildale California.
That, If I may say is a work of art. Was the owner the builder & the artist for the amazing details of this aircraft? Was that scratch built or a kit? whiichever it is, I truely admire the amount of attention to detail & the effort to put this plane together. If this plane did not have the engine heads / fins exposed, together with the way you do your capturing, filming & editing the video, one would have a second (or third) look if it was really a model aircraft. One of the most beautiful models I've seen. As always.......Thanks for sharing. I always look forward to watch your posts. You should've been in the film industry...(or maybe you are...lol).

Top job Eric. A nice scale-sized 3 or 4 blade propeller would complete the illusion. Well done.
The plane is beautiful and deserves a better engine.
That plane rreally needs better engine
Steven wdym? Spitfires are known for the smoke they produce
@@AlbanianGladiator not a better engine but a better designed exhaust that filters the high frequencies of the 2 stroke. There are many examples of such systems on youtube where 2 strokes sound much better.
500cc Honda CR500 engine would be bonkers.
@@vladimirvladimirovichputin1352 since when? If a Merlin or Griffon smoked like that after startup/warmup, it would be shut down.
Great pilot😮 Especially with all that exhaust smoke in his face!

Outstanding Spitfire. Fantastic flying from the Frenchman!
Well captured with the camera. *Thumps Up!*
many thanks horst and hello from sunny uk - pete,
Would have looked 99% better without the smoke...
And the civilian pilot.
Have to agree, scale is about scale of the type. Looked odd wth smoke,
Looks like it just came out of combat with a 109.
SMOKE??? What smoke??? :D
I agree
Hello! My friend!!! I am glad!!! To see you and your gorgeous plane!!!! My friend !!!! Breathtaking flights!!!! And soft landings! Clear sky!!! Твой друг Вадим!

If it had a Merlin engine sound, you could almost believe it was a REAL Spitfire although the landing gear looks a little short. Top job, Eric.

Its really simple its NOT your plane its the guy that owns that Spitfire he does what he wants with it. Nice Spitfire

Great model of the world's most beautiful and iconic plane.
thanks gene
This model is to beautifull to fly with a lawnmotor !
Use a moki motor and find a 4 blade prop ! Then it is a spitfire
Oui, vous avez raison. J'aimerais beaucoup, cela est une question d'argent....j’accepte tous les sponsorts

Still better than fake painted unrealistic wheatering to me...

That´s no weathering but the oil of the 2-stroke engine 😏😏😖😖😖
A beautiful war-bird!
Gorgeous, impeccable weathering, just needs a 3 Blade prop and fully outfitted pilot with goggles and all.
こんなに主脚の幅が狭いのに、よくまあ上手にランディング出来るもんですね。いたく感心させられました。Very very good!
あなたの親切なコメントに感謝します
Very realistic looking plane,beautiful job
I think im in love.... i need one of these in 1/3 scale
This is the best model Spit I have ever had the pleasure of watching. More, please!!🍻
thanks
Amazing how such a tiny propeller with only two blades can be so efficient .
Nice vid. It was nice of his mom to help carry stuff to the flight line...
Careful ! - the notes with this video says its his wife!

Beautiful. And so refreshing to see large ic engine being flicked over using safety glove to protect hands, a lot of our younger generation and up and coming young pilots watch these vids?.
Perhaps change the chip fat fuel for something that allows one to see the aircraft!
Haha!! Fair one
Thought it was for effect at first. Gives the impression the engine is running too rich.
Too rich !...it looks like its on FIRE. Beautiful finished aircraft, no smoke needed.

Stunning model,love the weathering
thanks richard Glad you liked it
@@tbobborap1 keep the smoke, it loos good and different. Never seen a plane with it. Can u add oil, make black smoke?
Agree about smoke! your choice .Can this acft be fitted with 4 bladed prop??
Fabulous Aircraft. Well Done Sir.
thanks chuck
Could not blink... Awesome plane and flight there. Thank you for the video Pete.
many thanks barlas, Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Stunning aircraft model, why spoil the effect of it with smoke?

fantastic warbird. Why the smoke the whole flight?
stunning Spitfire...stunning flying Display thank you.

And the dodgy spinner. Can't help thinking the ground crew would have cleaned up a bit. Nice big spitfire .
literally for a momment i though that this is real LOVE the sound of it
Magnificent aircraft , she truly is a Spitfire just miniature . having been an R/Cer. I Salute this modeler.

Belle vidéo, vivement la suite
To much smoke? Or is it a very rich carb mix? If it's intentional, I'd dial it back. If not, reset carb AND smoke system! Beautiful aircraft!
intentional its how he likes it carl
Cool plane the spits are the most beautiful !! Very skilled pilot too !!
Thanks a lot!
あ、書き忘れたんですけど、飛行中の操縦技術（flight technique）もほぼ完璧（perfect）ですよね。もしかして大戦中スピットファイアでBF109とかを落としていた経験があるんじゃないかと思ったくらいです。でも年齢的にあり得ないですよね。

Bro my guys fuel tank is on fire
I like the sound of the engine and the worn look of the Spitfire. This Spit has seen service. Very realistic but needs a 3-bladed prop.
thanks john
Four bladed, its wearing D-Day marking so is most likely a MkIX, so should have a Four blade propeller
I am a Spitfire nut.. and this is a beautiful model. Would love to have a closer look at the details...
Nice! Don't the haters discourage you, that is a great model!

Great airplane and nice video !! Take in 603 looks like a real spitfire. Thanks for the video
Did anyone notice that the canopy was open on take off yet closed in flight, did he control the canopy from the ground?
I did! I took a close look by slowing down the footage and it does appear that during the flight the canopy was closed, so I guess he could control it.
Fantastic display, people should remember this is a display, the red arrows use smoke so stop the grumbling
Simply Beautiful..

I'm no expert, but perhaps this wonderful model could do with a bit more power as it appeared to struggle during the climbing manoeuvres and rolls.
I'm curious, does the engine really smoke that bad or is it just for show? Nice plane, very nice. video and the professionalism displayed in handling the plane is outstanding.
