  • Top Gun is a competition that literally brings people from around the world to compete. This historically accurate Stuka was entered by Phil Crandon of Australia. It was an immaculately finished airplane that won Best Military and the Pilot's Choice awards. The airplane was scratch-built from a highly modified Ziroli plan and is powered by a Roto 85 FS inline twin engine.

    Nice lookin' model but I was pretty disappointed there was no inclusion of a scale Jericho horn XD Seriously, beautiful model!

      I hear you. It was an absolutely gorgeous model though! There was a company that used to make sirens for these, but they're long gone now.

      @@Thercgeek Somehow I'm not surprised that someone actually made that part... Oh this hobby though, lol. I would think you could just simulate with a sound module, unless that's blasphemy to use a sound module with gassers but you wouldn't be getting artificial engine noise, just the horn sound effect. If you could get enough power through it and get big volume, that would sound nuts flying by.

    OP I'd look on this plane as a masterful achievement even if it were kit built - but yours is scratch built... it's in a class beyond master class, something I could never even dream of doing. You have a right to be justifiably proud of your magnificent creation sir.

    That’s so cool!! The exhaust sounds so cool when the plane flys past the camera. What does a plane like this cost to build? I appreciate you and your channel. Great video

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  5 років тому

      Thanks for the kind words! Something like this can vary in cost, but typically there's usually a few thousand wrapped up in equipment plus the cost of the materials to build, etc.

      Same here,maybe next year I will make plans to go.Sure wish it was the west coast instead of the east.Nothing against the east coast,I just like the west better and have made that drive several times.I need to get out there and see the Button-Willow event!

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  5 років тому

      I hear you there! Some year, I hope to compete in this competition, sure would make it so much more feasible for if it were on the west coast. Originally, the event alternated east coast/west coast, but I think they only did one west coast event which was back in 1991 or so in AZ. It's been in Florida ever since.

    Very nice, we just had an airshow here in Yuma, AZ saw a bunch of Mitsubishi zeros as drove by leaving work. I'd love to see a stuka diving at me, to hear that terrible sound they made.

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  5 років тому +2

      Yeah, would be a very surreal experience to hear that siren diving down on you.

  • @user-td1zo3tv9p
    @user-td1zo3tv9p 5 років тому

    In a word, FANTASTIC!!
    I loved that the model included the means for dropping his ordinance. It would have been much nicer to be able to have a view of the dummy bomb followed to the intended target before returning to the Stuka in flight.
    Even more appealing would have been to have a large plastic tarp with target center staked out in the grass for the pilot to try and "Score" a HIT!
    I know years ago a group of is would lay out a large (2' to 3' diameter) flour target and drop raw eggs to see who got the closest. What you won was bragging rights and sometimes we'd substitute small water balloons for the eggs.
    Unfortunately for some of the guys who thought they had a "lock" on accuracy by flying lower to gauge the dropping point would sometimes fly their planes smack dab into the earth/target because they were too eager to see the point of impact instead of FLYING THEIR AIRPLANE!
    Sad but lots or laughs too. Mostly aimed at the more arrogant pilots who thought they were so much better than the rest of us.
    All that aside, this model is a FINE example of someone with Pride of Ownership as well as competent flying skills.
    BRAVO!
