Nice flight, Dave! thanks for the video!
My pleasure!
That plane was bult by a Nascar Team.
Sorry to see it go down Dave. I have one awaiting its maiden. Do you recall your CoG in the end?
The CG was per the manual. I was neither the builder or owner; just the cameraman... Flies quite well for such a heavy plane; like a warbird. Keep the airspeed up appropriately and you should have no issues, with flaps on landing.
The motor outage was due to excessive motor wire tie down force pinching/cutting multiple strands.

You fly it longer before landing just in case 😂
Well done!
Great model 264 squadron would be proud
Another airplane that deserves more attention. Good job.
A favourite of mine since I was a kid and built an airfix kit. Is this built from a plan or is it a kit? Flew nice.
A kit, pretty sure...
How sweet is that !
First time acknowledging the existence of these creatures 😮
Great idea but why put music on when we all want to hear the twin EDF engines? This boggles the mind.
Great looking plane - thanks for sharing!!! -mikeylikesrc
Totally missed the point ! buy a warthog FFS
Awesome plane it flys beautiful 👍
A bit heavy but the wing carries it nicely. Nice scale speed and with the right descent rate, lands itself...
if you walk up Newel Creek 2 miles or so you come to a split rock, some 40-50ft long, 20 wide and tall! The creek runs right thru it. Worth seeing.. The roads you see are c.1860 logging roads. Along the creek itself are some old China Camps remains that made it thru the 1977-78 winter, the worse winter ever, it ripped the area up. So did 1983 and 1994
Awesome Warbird nice flight and landing 🎶👌 👍
Still working on the landings: powered until wheels down.
@@davestubbs2124 Keep air speed up landing warbirds 👍
@@radbrothersrc This is true of many planes. This one in particular has a fair amount of drag for its weight and I had insufficient throttle to keep it from dropping as it did on final. My 1700mm P-51 is heavier for the drag and I can cut throttle upon entering final when up about 20 feet and out maybe 150 feet from touchdown. The momentum just carries the plane beautifully to touchdown.
I do remember watching the show. I’m 68.
I’m 70 so it’s ingrained in my brain. Preferred over all other shows.
Yes Sir.....one of my favorite shows....along with Whirly Birds. It's a beautiful model. Did you scratch build or is it a kit? Well done. God bless
It’s a DARE kit, coveted and painted.
@@davestubbs2124 Great job Sir. I guess I'll have to get one. Thanks

Covered, NOT “coveted”…
@@davestubbs2124 Thank you for the URL. Blessings
Very nice ! Brought back a lot of TV memories. I think the military version was called the 'Bamboo Bomber' ?
“ Dubbed the "Bamboo Bomber" by the pilots who flew them, the UC-78 was a military version of the commercial Cessna T-50 light transport. Cessna first produced the wood and tubular steel, fabric-covered T-50 in 1939 for the civilian market.”
Main reason the original Songbird was retired. Popular show as I grew up in PHX.
Sky king was my favorite show growing up!
Mine too!
I crashed on my first airplane flight! Front wheel sank I to too soft runway. Plane flipped violently, I was cut from upside down seat, having seat belts cut away. The pilot looked dead!
Many of the show's episodes were lost in a warehouse fire. Some years ago there was a website where you could watch the surviving episodes, but it has been long gone. In the early 60's I met the show's star, Kirby Grant, when he was making personal appearances with a travelling carnival that came into town.
The builder of the kit in this video contacted the star and his wife responded, unable to answer any technical questions.
Seriously, all the work on that model and no retracts, bummer
The builder prefers simple & lightweight model aircraft. Retracts would have added weight, and they are typically temperamental little devices, fraught with frustration and inflight failure damage. Sometimes, just keeping things simple is the most pleasurable.
It's a Pat Tritle design. If you've ever built one of his designs, you know how fragile they are. Getting retracts on this model would have required considerable modification to the design. The model's instructions come with this warning: "The Songbird is NOT an aerobatic model and should not be used as such. Just as with the full scale Bobcat, performing loops, rolls and other high stress maneuvers is a bad idea and will undoubtedly result in disaster."
Ah, so that explains the builder yelling, “NO!” when I was flying it myself, after asking if I could loop and roll it. Hahaha.
The original T-50 was a ground loop ready to happen. That's why it had a lockable tailwheel. From a T-50 pilot who got his multi-engine rating in one in 1957 at Parks College.
Excellent! An authority. Thanks for commenting! You are about the same age of many pilots at our field. One is 93 and flies about 2X a week. And some fly the most difficult model aircraft because they interest them.... I'm on the cusp of turning 70. Just a kid to a good number of 'em...
Sweet Kevin!!
What a beautiful airplane! You guys are sure careful;......... I think the plane wants to fly and is just waiting for the "input"!!! Have many more great flights going forward.
Nice plane and nice flying 👍👍
Landing gear looks nice and rugged!🤪 Nice maiden!
Nice flying! I have one backordered - this vid was partly responsible...what battery mah/c are you using?
The tail is about to break off.
Great show Dave. You do amazing work.
Thanks, Jim. Much to see, do, and record in this big, beautiful country...
Great looking plane awesome maiden she looks great in the sky
That's more like it.
Pretty. But we don't need music.
Very nice maiden!
Nice flying. love those Extreme flight planes.
Yes. They are pretty much the gold standard for 3D.
Nice flying, what battery was used
6S-5000
Gutsy flying on a maiden! And what a roll-rate. Delicious version of Body and Soul in the background. A total delight. Bob Kradjian
Kevin has really come into his own. His skill advancement has been remarkable, flying practically every day, even if only enough time for a couple hops.
There's no pilot! Nice video and flying...ouch on the landing!
I don’t think that plane will ever see a rough landing again.
S3 viking.
NIIIIICE 👌🏻
Great job! Cool plane! Nice aerobatics! Perfect landing!… and epic song!👍👍👍
That’s my grandpa
AWESOME
The girls were beautiful!
Frankly, I have only flown it a few times (that one morning) but plan to put six batteries through it next weekend, performing aerobatics which should expose any visibility issues pretty quickly! The visibility last week had me too concerned to perform much of anything…
Everyone had great difficulty seeing ANY plane that morning, due to the low sun angle and haze. And they had high visibility liveries. Two pilots nearly lost their planes that morning.This site is lousy in the early mornings due to that reason. You enter a turn and must not let your eyes trick you into thinking the bank angle is opposite. I love this plane because of its sound, power, and very slow speed with full flaps.
Beautiful flight followed by a textbook landing 😀 Congratulations on such a successful maiden flight 👍🏾 😊 The plane is gorgeous, but tell me the truth, was it hard for you to keep an eye on your plane when you were flying her? In my opinion, the military grey paint finished on this plane's new color design makes it quickly disappear in the blue sky, especially when the sun is that bright. That could easily cause the pilot to lose orientation, creating a dangerous situation. It happened to me on maiden flight day of my Avanti S V2, and I almost crashed it. Here's the video link of her maiden flight... The video has timestamps... The situation happened on the second flight of the day. ua-cam.com/video/y0Zo9TdIM0o/v-deo.html Thumbs-up for your video 👍🏾 Have a great rest of your evening.
