I've ALWAYS liked transitional aircraft, and the TWO most famous are the Grumman F4F Wildcat, and of course, Sir Sydney Camm's Hurricane! Love this viddy my friends! I was shown this channel by Adam and Heidi over at Model AV8R. I will definitely tell folks about your channel, keep up the great work! Cheers from Justwingit!
Thank you, Justwingit! I've been following your channel for years, since I got back into the hobby. *Love* your crazy, infectious laughter! Adam has been very kind in spreading the word for our tiny channel, so I'll be blownwn away if you could too. Thank you for stopping by! /Gina 🙏😎🌼
Thanks, Chris! It really was a mind-blowing day to be able to get up close with the exact real version of my model. James is a proper chap and definitely made of the same stuff as The Few. It was a day we'll never forget, for sure.
Brilliant maiden flight Gina!! I will get my Mk1 Hurricane done for the summer, I loved the interview, and it was a real privilege to see the real Hurricane and listen to it's owner and pilot!! A truly fantastic bit of TH-cam magic!! Congratulations 😀👍
I watched this video during my lunch break today and thoroughly enjoyed it to the extent that I was late back into work! I especially enjoyed the interview at the end because you focused on the smaller details that I had never got chance to see before. Simple things like the retraction mechanism for the stirrup. Its incredible how far technology has come to enable us to produce videos like this with a single camera and no call sheet.
WOW it was so wonderful to see the real bird and to know there is one in pristine condition still "alive" in England. Wonderful. Great job flying your model as well. As Mr. Grace used to say "you've all done very well". Cheers.
Thank you James R. Hellmsly! Hurricane pilot James Brown was very generous with his time... and for us, well... it was a truly amazing experience to up close to the very Hurricane that was represented by my model.
I am so green with Envy. Beautiful hurricane. I have to admit given the choice between a Hurricane and a spitfire Ill take the Hurricane. The spitfire gets all the glory but the hurricane gets all the honors in my book. You are truly lucky to be able to see and touch a real hurricane.
I know how that goes. The day I meant Adolf Galland as a 11 year old is still with me all these years later. I just wish that I had ask questions instead of standing there like an idiot.
Yes I did meet Galland. Sadly I was only 11 years old and was kind of overwhelmed by the whole thing. I met other famous pilots that day but due to the years that have passed (45 years) its kind of cloudy. I do remember how polite and nice he was. Sadly my hero (I won’t mention his name out of respect for what he did for Britain) of that time was very impolite and rude. The other great pilots such as Alan Deere and Heinz Knoke kind of made up for having my hero being turn out to be rude and impolite individual. What I do remember of Galland was how very polite and funny he was. My step father’s father who had been a POW in Stalag luft 3 (yes that camp and yes he was involved) had brought me alone as at the time I wanted to be a fighter pilot just like my hero of the time. Sadly I didn’t go onto be a pilot but I have never lost my love of flying.
@@fltltcrashcrocker5017 Very, *very* cool story, Mark! Yes, it's embarrassing when your heroes have feet of clay when you meet them 😞 Just my guess... but did he behave Bader-ly? Hmmm 🤔
Really enjoyed that. The larger models definitely fly better. Love the full size aeroplane video too. Nice to have that battery cover signed. The pressure not to damage the 'plane though............oooh! Excellent.
@@TheKRU251 None more to be bought, Chris. Dynam are currently refusing to ship beyond the borders of China, sadly. Otherwise... great plan, indeed! (Actually, one that I have enacted for my E-flite Spitfire XIV!)
Something strange here Gina, I left a comment but cannot see it, so her is another one...congratulations on a flawless maiden of the dynam Hurricane, and wow what an absolutely amazing moment visiting the real deal....😃😃👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍 stay well both of you, I was on a call with Brian when we saw you post this video, and we both thought DYNAM ...what was the build like ? Did you have to use any Hot Glue ?.Dynam fly really well....brilliant video...loved the Visit to the real deal....
Hahaha!! No hOt GlUe was used on this model, Martyn... (DAA-DAA-DAAAAAA!) It really was a privilege to get to sit in R4118 and meet James. That was where we were off to straight after meeting your good self that day we bought your Hurricane and Mustang!
Great maiden flight Gina! I had the old E flight, wonderful plane. Never flown a Dynam Hurri, but all their stuff seems to fly good. One day we'll have to have a chat via Google meet or something about the Spitfire/Hurricane in the BoB debate. naturally...I have some thoughts...Lol. Now...WOW GINA! What a pleasure to meet Mr. Brown and his Hurricane! Brilliant! What a beautiful airplane! I will give you a shout out in our community section of our channel and link this video! Hopefully it will get it some well deserved views! Very nice work Gina! AWESOME video! Top Tip...put some clear gloss tape over that signature to preserve it!
Thank you so much, Adam! 😎✌️ Good idea about the tape, chum! I'll sort that tomorrow morning. And thanks in advance for the link in your comms section. Hugely appreciated 🌼
@@purcellrcaviationchannel Yes ma'am I use a sharpie to write numbers on lipos, etc. Clear gloss scotch tape keeps it from rubbing off. Happy to help...I hope it does! Such a great video! By the way next time you talk to Brian tell him Bubba said howdy...lol.
Thanks for posting this great video, a superb maiden and amazing insight into the real thing with its current owner who looks a real “gent”. Thanks so much for sharing, it’s really appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@seanbarrie8713 Hi Sean. I'm not sure. It was old stock at Slough RC when I bought it a couple of years ago. I think the 'tell' is the colour of the spinner; a sort of RAF duck egg green on the version 1 and a more realistic black spinner (as per seen in my video of the real R4118 Hurricane) for the version 2. If that's what you mean? If not, it's deffo a model of the Hurricane Mk 1. Edited to say: Yes, the model has those lights installed, but I didn't wire them up on mine.
@@purcellrcaviationchannel Thanks Gina, I should have been clearer, my bad, but yes, I wondered if you had Dynam’s first incarnation of this model or their second version. Thanks for your detailed reply and sorry again for not explaining myself properly 🤪 Have a good day 👍🏻
Wonderful video & flying Gina & co. My absolute favourite WW2 aircraft. The only model ( HK 800mm) i have lost. Went behind a tree at a park & lost sight of it. I know it us still up there somewhere over Africa by now. Should you see it in a field in the UK… can you let me know? Regards Noel🇦🇺🪃🦘
Glad that I stumbled across this 'earlier' video. Very good flying your Hurri - and extremely cool that you got to visit the original R 4118. Is this what you are sitting in for your channel photo? (I am full of Envy!)
Thank you, Jolly Roger! Going up to Duxford to meet James and film him and his beautiful Hurricane was one of the highlights of my life! Truly, a real privilege for an aircraft-head like me. And yes, the channel photo is me sat in the cockpit of R4118 whist wearing James's flying helmet.
A lovely model, and a very reasonable price back when it was available. But the Dynam construction genes are a bit hit and miss. I'm glad your model is flying well. The roll rate looks great, and it spun nicely when you ran it through the aerobatricks. Good luck taking it out for a spin again soon.
Thanks, Jo! To be honest, it didn't go together *that* badly... nothing that some small modicum of modelling skills that we all share, could sort out. Now its gone from the shops, those small gripes seem irrelevant. I hope Dynam survives and they start selling models outside China again... nobody makes a 1.2m Hurricane any more. Hope you and yours are well!
Enjoyed! 👍👍🛩️
Thank you, Sir! 😎

Thanks, JR!! 🤩
Great flights Gina, great to get up close and personal to the hurricane. Very cool he signed the hatch for you as well. Great stuff. 👍🏻

Well you did a great Job, I'm very pleased it flew well, I know what to expect when I get my one sorted 😀👍

Thanks, chap! R4118 is one of four Hurricanes flying in the UK at the moment, which really is a sight to see. Now... "are you free?" 😂
Great guest apperiance of a Hawker Hurricane Pilot
