How could anyone not like such a cool thing, but I see 17 poor, misdirected souls don't. May they increase their fiber intake and feel better soon. What a great airplane. Well done!
I have lived by an airport for 67 years. I used to see and hear DC3s several times a day throughout the 50s-late 60 early70s. My favorite plane. Noisey as heck but very graceful and one of the most reliable ever built. A real workhorse. I got to go on one for a grade school field trip. Very steep narrow aisle. That's the coolest flying model I have ever seen! Thank you!
I have just watched your video before going to bed. What a perfect way to end a day. Sublime RC model, and video presentation Mr. Snorrason. MSFS FS2002-4, FSX.
I've flown in DC3's in central America during the 1970's, many were used as short haul services in those days and I believe there's still a few left. I would trust a DC3 over a Boeing 777 anyday, maybe a little noisy and not so fast but not much in the way of electronic gizmo's to go wrong and less likely of falling out of the sky. The model is absolutely beautiful and a huge credit to it's builder.
Thank you for the good video without crappy music to ruin the sound of the model, you tastefully added the sound of a real radial engine for great effect at the perfect time without over doing it, well done. Also great looking scale build.
@@ExtremeAviationIceland that will do it. I have a top-flight dc3 that I detailed with two .75 4 stroke engines, mainly so I can swing scale 3 blade props. It ha never flown because I afraid I will crash it. I ton of hours to build a matter of seconds to destroy it.
man you made me cry! I only played copilot on a family member dc-3 over 40 years ago in the Caribbean, but it was the plane that impressed me the most in my life. I'm always watching the alaska videos and all dc-3 video but having a little model of the real thing really is great. You are a lucky man :)!
The DC-3 is my all time favorite civilian aircraft. It also served in the military as the C-47 from WWII, post war with The United States Air force's Strategic Air Command, Vietnam as gun ships, and was still being flown by the Air Force until 2008.
Guys what an awesome job, that is truly amazing, landing gear flaps all work. The detail with the sheet metal finish shows the dedication. Thank you for sharing.
Stunning video! Great craftsmanship, great piloting,great photography! Have no idea what a project like this costs but, if you have the money, it's WORTH IT! Very inspiring.
That is one mighty impressive model. I flew in DC-3s in South Australia and have always had a 'soft spot' for them. Most impressive is the commitment to detal, looks like the original aircraft. Well done.
Such beautiful attention to detail! The flaps move. Smoke emits when the Pratt & Whitney 1830-like engines start. The tail wheel pops up on takeoff. The landing gear retracts. Even the rivets and panels. How absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute to the Douglas DC-3 / Gooney Bird / Placid Plodder / DACoTA. It is wonderful to see that today's generation appreciates what my parents' generation developed and flew. I'm forwarding a link to your video to Mikey McBryan and Benoit De Mulder in Canada. They will love this!
Thank you. The original airplane is still airworthy in Iceland. Here is a video of it flying over the same airstrip. th-cam.com/video/MhH2QkjF6ak/w-d-xo.html
I thought he had dubbed in the original engine sounds a couple of times. What a beautiful piece of work. Why 273 misguided people took the effort to click on the thumbs down is a mystery to me.
Funny, that startup had me going there for a second. Finally realized they'd dubbed a real radial over it. Beautiful craftsmanship on the construction. Fantastic detailing.
Great Job! One observation of most Scale Aircraft Builders/ Pilots is the Use Of Flaps, The Wing Loading of The Scale Version Is Far Lower Than That Of The Full Size Aircraft, Hence the Tendency For The Scale Aircraft To Float on Landing
Incredible. My first airline mechanic job was maintaining DC-3s for a US regional carrier. I would not have believed that such immaculate detailing of sheet metal and landing gear was possible in a flying model. Is it actually constructed of aluminum with spot welds simulating rivets? Can't imagine how else it could have been done. Congratulations.
I flew on a PBA DC-3 from Tampa to Sarasota once in the very early 80's. I was surprised at how nice the ride was, and much quieter than I'd imagined as well.
Beautiful work. the sound at times was almost right on. One of the best models I have ever seen. Brings back memories of when I used to fly them for The U. S. Army Parachute Team. It brings joy to me to witness your outsstanding talent. The best airplane for one that looks like it was made to fly!. Best wishes, Charles M. Hill, Fayetteville, NC USA. Thank you so much for your post.
Beautiful bird you built. Polished aluminum, great paint details. Been around these planes for over 35 years and never stop staring at them Thanks for sharing your passion
That's a superb model. The start of the left motor there sounded just like the real thing! I can only imagine the dedication that went in to building this wonderful Aircraft. Amazed at how real these RC models look.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
💐WOW - So Cool! Perfectly proportioned with every curvature spot-on, each detail totally characteristic of the most charming aeroplane of all, ever, the DC-3... this masterly built R/C model is a lovely, outstanding piece of art.💐
That model has to be one of the best I have ever seen - what a craftsman!
Wonderful video. Ty very much.
Great to see the little Dakota fly superb in the air and land smoothly.
And you are a pro.👍🤗
How could anyone not like such a cool thing, but I see 17 poor, misdirected souls don't. May they increase their fiber intake and feel better soon. What a great airplane. Well done!
It's up to EIGHTY people who don't like this. WTF?
They are probably just jealous that they can't do something like that.
It is a very cool thing.
105 dimwits who spent the time watching and decided they didn't like this. What's not to like?
its 107 now.
What a fine model ....sick!! There is a full sized DC 3 near our place in Canada...my grandfather worked in Greenlnd in 50s and flew in it ...

Not sure which I like better, the truly amazing plane or the scenery in Iceland. You're fortunate to have the beautiful background.
I never saw a better scale model...the scenery is spectacular too. Thanks for posting.
Fantastic model amazing attention to detail
As an old man... who grew up in the 80s flying RC, this brings tears to my eyes.
Nostalgic
Nice landing! And a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.
The skin detailing on this gorgeous model is nothing short of remarkable. My favorite prop plane, and now, my favorite plane model. Very well done!
Great looking model!
Beautiful. Cant say anything else. Beautiful.
I have just watched your video before going to bed.
What a perfect way to end a day.
Sublime RC model, and video presentation Mr. Snorrason.
MSFS FS2002-4, FSX.
Ok you had me, i was like those are some small radial engines. Great sound mix
wait those arent actual gas engines?? but what about the smoke? sorry im new to airplanes
SouthFlaDiver Go on line to OS engines o Saito . They do make 3 , 5 , 7 and 9 cylinder 4 cycle engines .
A Beautiful DC3 .. The attention to detail is remarkable .. Very nice job ..

Plain simple stunning workmanship
Beautiful detail. Even the engines sound right when it starts up.I always enjoyed flying in them in the 60's in Australia.
So cool , reminds me of the DC-3 's in Whitehorse Yukon in the 70's
Elite micro-engineering coupled with a very highly skilled R/C operator. The landing was sublime. BRAVO! 👍
Fantastic job off the charts with the skill level
An absolutely beautiful aircraft in all aspects and masterful craftsmanship. Thank you for the video!
Wow! My favorite airplane is the DC3, a.k.a. C-47 or "Dakota". Thanks for making this video.
Beautiful replica, amazing detail. Liked the actual radial engine sound in the beginning, chills!
Awesome! Beautiful plane and nice wheel landing. Only thing missing is some oil dripping on the main wheels....
My God - What a magnificent Airplane & a fantastic job you did on it ! TRULY AMAZING ! Thanks so much.
Impeccable flying scale model! Congratulations.
If we ever discover a race of 1/8th people, they are going to be so happy!
Chuck Wagon 😆
Q
That is a model to be proud of. Nice landing after getting the feel for how it wanted to balloon in ground effect like that.
Certainly one of the finest models ever made of one of the finest aircraft ever made. Well done 👍
Beautiful! Well Done! Attention to detail is fantastic.
Thank you for the good video without crappy music to ruin the sound of the model, you tastefully added the sound of a real radial engine for great effect at the perfect time without over doing it, well done. Also great looking scale build.
Great model and flying too. I see a lot of these crash on youtube because they are so tail heavy most of the time
Absolutely gorgeous. Had me fooled at first with the engine noise. Loved it. Congrats to the builder.
Nice video of your model DC3! Flew in one many times when I was in the RCAF! A real old work horse for us back then!
What a beautiful air plane, sounds a little rich.
Robert Weitlauf yes the exhaust came loose
@@ExtremeAviationIceland that will do it. I have a top-flight dc3 that I detailed with two .75 4 stroke engines, mainly so I can swing scale 3 blade props. It ha never flown because I afraid I will crash it. I ton of hours to build a matter of seconds to destroy it.

malanga13 Thank you. There is something nostalgic about the DC-3
Love the DC-3 too. Watch all the videos but never had a chance to fly one although I have flown IN one.☺
Beyond impressive!

a real scale, very nice finish!
Wow, absolutely perfect and wonderful model.
its a nice plane :) good job on the detail modeling and it flys really good
Beautiful Aircraft ! The DC - 3 is my favorite Airplane.
Beautiful airplane, and great modelling.
Nice video, nice machine, nice flight.
Outstanding craftsmanship,flying, detail, everything!
This is how she is inside. th-cam.com/video/kOiNg_PV1-M/w-d-xo.html
Outstanding!! I love it when people don't forget that beautiful plane. Goes to show, Douglas had a damn great idea. Thank you for the video!!
Love that sound! Fly overs sound like the real thing!!! Really well done and BEAUTIFUL model!
What a beautiful model.
Very beautiful dc3 very good flying

Beautiful model! Great flight......Beautiful scenery of Iceland as well!! I did some training for Icelandair back in 1985. Great memories!
Gorgeous model aircraft. Great flying skills and sceneries
Most accurate flying model of the elegant DC-3 I have ever seen, truly magnificent. And such an elegant colour scheme as well.
It is beautiful artwork by the model builder Sturla Snorrason www.rcsturla.com
Man, that thing is beautiful. No way I would ever chance flying it.
Simply wonderful.
Excellent model. My first ever flight was in one of these in New Zealand 1965!
That is one mighty impressive model. I flew in DC-3s in South Australia and have always had a 'soft spot' for them. Most impressive is the commitment to detal, looks like the original aircraft. Well done.
Gorgeous! My favorite airplane and such a fantastic model!
Spectacular! As the first flight in 1935 of the DC-3.
a great model, of a fantastic airplane.
Superb workmanship, and in aluminium too! Please don’t crash it.
Wow simply beautiful and so was the scenery I tip my hat to you sir

When living in Kenai Alaska we would fly to Anchorage in a DC-3. This was in the early 60's. What a great airplane it was. Shalom

Cool DC-3 Sturla...nice work .... watching the video down here in TEXAS
Funny, that startup had me going there for a second. Finally realized they'd dubbed a real radial over it.
Beautiful craftsmanship on the construction. Fantastic detailing.
Outstanding!
Carole Lombard’s DC 3 still rests on a Nevada mountain top, pilot error, her wedding ring was never found.
@Alan Cogan Van Guard is a gentleman. That means he does not have a smart-ass mouth like you.
That's. So. Beautiful!
Great Job!

Hopelessand Forlorn The US airline you worked for that had DC-3’s wouldn’t happen to be PBA is it ?
I worked for the Colombian Air Force and flew the military version of that plane for many years ...
beautiful and efficient plane ...

WOW!! What a beautiful aircraft. One of my favorites. Great job with the finish.
Beatifull, full real
Fooled me with the sound when they fired up the #1 engine lol
me too!
Me too! Dang..
@Van Guard Me too. I was hugely impressed for a moment there.
Me too
Same here!
Excelente....su motor que padre suena 👍👍😊
Nice job. Such a classic airliner the DC-3
What a lovely model!
Outstanding model!
Beautiful bird you built. Polished aluminum, great paint details. Been around these planes for over 35 years and never stop staring at them
