Beautiful! We love seeing our B-17 in miniature like this - well done!
It's a pleasure to receive such a kind comment !!! Thank you !!!
ua-cam.com/video/9owlwlxJxPw/v-deo.html ... her first flight
Wow!! Those are all impressive as hell!! Did not even know RC War Birds were being made that big with gas engines. Absolutely loved the B-17, P-47, F-4U, and Spitfires. Thats a helluva hobby you guys got going on. Thanks for keeping history alive with them.
Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate. I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video.
*sorry for being late with my reply !*
_Best regards, RCSA_
I was comparing the RC Aluminum Overcast to my old old 2009 footage I shot of the real plane when it came to my my town. It's hard to tell the difference!
i realize it's kinda off topic but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released series online?
Thank you very much for your compliments. Much appreciated.
I completely agree with you! Best regards, RCSA
Beautiful aircraft and great flying. I'd love to see all these warbirds flying together in formation with the B-17---sometime.
just WOW ! love seeing these warbirds land! very good landings are so rare which proves just how hard these bouncy tail draggers are to land. Its nice to know that no matter how used you get to flying the model, you'll always have a challenge ahead until the plane stops moving.
Thank you for your compliments, _Gabriel_. Yes, it's very tricky to land them on a paved runway with x-wind and more than 15,000 spectatores behind you.
I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video.
_Regards, RCSA_
I'm astonished at the absence of mid air collisions with that many birds in the air at one time.
Way to go!!!
They flew for the very first time together and behind the pilots were thousands of spectators ... I would have shit in my pants ≧◔◡◔≦
Wouldn't you think stage fright would gnaw away at the pilots until disaster worked its way in?
vanpenguin22 No. I think if they have their aircraft in the air, the pulse will go back down. But on landing it will probably rise again. Disaster happen most often due to technical failure.
RCScaleAirplanes
Come to think of it, I bet the focus level probably has them dialed in sharp and calm.
Dinner and a cigar say once they land the wave of adrenalin hits and they shake like leaves.
Thx for keep history alive with them, my grandad use to be a ball gunner on one of them, he just recently past away this Boxing Day
Videos like this are really marvellous. Makes me wish I'd got into RC when I was a kid!
Thank you Chris, for your kind comment. It's never too late lying Rc airplanes.
I've started with an age of 43 :)
I can only imagine the time and effort spent on this beautiful warbird!!! Great job!!!
Thank you very much for your great comment. I'm glad to know that you liked watching the video. Best regards, RCSA
B17 is such a beautiful aircraft 😍😍
Thank you for your kind comment, which I really appreciate.
beautiful planes, sorry for the P 40, flying is mostly a positive mind set, people who are negitive i sure dont fly, and dont understand this hobby, great job guys, thanks for the time you spend on your planes for people like me to enjoy, my topflite P40 will fly this spring for the first time and my first nitro plane, i have been training on a FMS P 51, so far 20 flights all is good! keep up the great video work.
Many thanks for your kind comment, Scott.
The P-40 had a problem with the engine and therefore it lost speed during take off. In this situation the pilot reacted a little too hard on the rudder. The plane is already repaired.
I whish you many successful flights with your new P-40
Best regards, RCSA
Thanks!
RCScaleAirplanes That's good they got it repaired and back to flight ready. Engine failure in takeoff put even the best of pilots in a bad spot,, holding the plane upright has got to be a challenge and in RC scale it's especially difficult as the plane reacts so quickly.
John Z Thank you for your great comment, which I greatly appreciate.
The P-47 is repaired and ready for the new season. You're right, it's hard to manage a save recovery at low airspeed.
Best regards, RCSA
Ironic that plane crashed on take-off were common during the war...
That fly-by at 1:50 was just beautiful! The skill it must have took to build that and then to fly it.. just amazing! Great work guys!
Thank you very much for your great comment. I'm glad to know that you liked watching the video.
Here you can see how the B-17 has been built > www.flickr.com/photos/80143796@N07/sets/72157633358260800/show/
Best regards, RCSA
Outstanding fly skills. Excellent show
Many thanks !!!
Don't worry, it's not so expensive as you might think. The most expensive part on that plane are the engines. This B-17 is completely self made and the wood to build it, is not that expensive. Check out the video of the maiden flight where you will find a link to the pictures "how to build".
Anyway, thanks for your kind comment. Best regards, RCSA
Heart goes out to the owner of the P-40 ... such a shame. Hope you can repair it ... Love takeoffs and flight but scared of all the interesting ways of coming down!!! Great planes!!!!!
The P-40 survived and it's claose to be finished.
For the landings I have to mention that there was a stronf wind that day and most of the pilots are not used to land on a paved runway.
_Best regards, RCSA_
Thank you for your kind comment, which I really appreciate.
The sketch comes from "cdscaledesigns". The engines are KOLM EZ65
For more details, please have a look into the video description of the maiden flight video, which you will find at my uploaded videos.
Best regards, RCSA
Thanks for your comment. The repair of the crashed P-40 cost only some hours in the workshop. No mechanical or electrical damages :)
Thank you very much for your compliments, Which I greatly appreciate.
Best regards, RCSA
good work dear friend
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you for your kind comment, which I really appreciate.
The P-40 can be repaired !
Absolut geile Vorstellung, fantastischer Motoren-Sound , das muß ich unbedingt mal live sehen.
Ein Wunder, dass die Behörden sowas überhaupt genehmigen.
Many thank's for your kind comment. The P40 crash was caused by the lack of engine power and over correction at the sticks ... heavy damaged, but repairable.
These guys are no different than us Americans, they love military history and planes, and like 99.9% of Germans living today had nothing to do with Nazi Germany and probably don't know anyone still living who fought for the Nazi regime. If they spoke English you wouldn't be able to tell the difference in many cases, they probably value their family and country, and enjoy their hobby with friends... A hobby that just happens to have a majority of designs and fans based out of America consisting of American planes.
+HermannTheGreat *_You hit the nail, Hermann !!!_*
_Thank you very much for your kind comment !!!_
Thank's Karim for your kind comment.
The B-17 was never escortet by Russian, Japanese or German fighters. Maybe there will be a dogfight simulation next summer. Best regards, RCSA
Bad times for the P-40...
Yes, it went down because of an engine failure but she's already has been repaired and ready for take off in 2014
I think you're one of the few who have seen the video until the end. Thank you so much. (ツ) ... Best regards, RCSA
19 ft. B-17 "Flying Fortress" Flying Together With 6 .... 2:36 .... SHIT, make that 5 Other Warbirds ... :-(
B-17 crashed as well
Love the look of those warbirds when they fly over in a group. Beautiful planes, I enjoyed watching this video.
Thank you very much for your great comment. I'm glad to know that you liked watching the video.
Best regards, RCSA
die B-17...mir fehlen die Worte..und dann zusammen mit den Jägern in der Luft...sehr überzeugend, bin total begeistert...
Besten Dank für Deinen Kommentar.
HORIZON Air Meet ist etwas, das man sich nicht entgehen lassen sollte :)
Spectacular. I can't imagine the feeling as you guide the B-17 in for landing. Has to be nerve-wracking!
Thank you for your compliment, I really appreciate it. Yes, the landing on concret is always a battle :)
_Best regards, RCSA_
Many thank's Sam for your kind comment. The P40 crash was caused by the lack of engine power and over correction at the sticks ... heavy damaged, but repairable. I agree that the yellow Corsair was very lucky to don't hit anything. Have you noticed the grey Corsair? After touchdown the gear retracts for a fraction of second and comes back out. That was pure porn :)
Best regards, Horst
Yes. This is how to fly a giant rc airplane. Thanks for your compliments !
I've never seen an actual B-17 in flight, but I imagine it wouldn't look (or sound) very different from your model. Thanks for sharing this amazing video. And congratulations on creating this wonderful aircraft.
Thank you for your cool comment.Most of these pilots have no experience to land, or take off on concrete runway. It is much more difficult then on grass.
Best regards, RCSA
Poor P-40 ;_;
oh yes. it was heavily damaged but it has been already repaired.
RCScaleAirplanes What happened to it? Did it stall? It looked like so.
Thank you for your kind comment, which I greatly appreciate.
The P-40 got heavy damages, but repairable.
These planes look and sound like the real ones. They are amazing!
Hello Horst, please do not worry, I appreciate you taking the time to reply, it is always appreciated! I always look forward to your videos, they are most enjoyable and very well produced. Thanks again for all your hard work and dedication!! Cheers, Dougal
Many thanks my friend. I'm very glad to read your kind comments.
_Happy Easter_
Germans weren't so excited and happy when the real B-17 s were flying over Germany lol
It seems that you were good boy at school. This was the only war, at which America was one of the winners :)
+Kill Them All Oh, please save us wise man.
Nope, the U.S. (America is the continent btw) was only one of the collaborators, the Red Army did almost all the job in that theatre of operations.
U.S. did not won the Korean War. It never ended fyi. And the Civil War is like winning against yourself.
@YeOldeScience Russia won WW2 for Europe. American education system must really be brain washing you all lol
Thank you for your kind comment !
Thank's Steve for watching and commenting !
I would have loved to been there to watch those old birds fly. Awesome video guys.
Many thanks _Bill_. Maybe you will find the way to the 2015 edition of the HORIZON Airmeet in Germany.
These guys don't mess around. Really excellent copies of the actual birds.
Thank you *John*, for your great comment !!!
Awesome! I had no idea that RC planes on this scale existed. Fantastic Models and pilot skills!
scole1116 Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate. _Best regards, RCSA_
Danke Thomas. Eine super Show habt ihr da abgeliefert !!!
Very nice! love the planes, the sounds, and of course... SMOKE ON!
Many thanks *Ken*, for your kind comment. I hope you like also my other videos. *enjoy*
Cheers, RCSA
You guys are superb aviators and this was an equally superb show. Nicely done and greetings from Arizona.
Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate.
I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video.
_Best regards, RCSA_
What a show! I love the B-17. Man, think of the time and money invested in that one flight. Astounding.
Many thanks _Steve_, for your great comment.
Yes ... ther was a hell of $$$'s in the air :)
Wonderful video! I had the honor of servicing that B17 many many years ago at KTRI. I would not take anything for the memories.
Thank you for your kind words, _Randy_.
I can imagine what does it mean to work on the full scale B-17.
_Best regards, RCSA_
Wow! From a spectator's viewpoint the new Kolm engines and new props seemed made a big difference in the sound. Much more realistic. I imagine the performance was enhanced as well? Beautiful bird!
Thank you very much for your great comment, David. I'm glad to know that you liked watching the video.
Absolutely brilliant and some brilliant planes. Also some very nice flying guys and some pretty sweet landings and all. Altogether very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for your great comment, Phil. I'm glad to know that you liked watching the video.
All the best for 2014 !!!
Yes RC ScaleAirplanes I understand. Your demonstration is truly excellent . It is only the BLADES of GRASS that betrays the "deception " :-)
Thank you Richard. To find a "scale" grass runway, I should do some videos on a golf course :)
I've done some great shooting on a paved runway > Giant Rc Sabre F-86
That white Corsair was very lucky that the landing gear locked at the very last moment. It was funny to watch and the pilot has sweated blood and water :)
Thanks for your kind comment. Best regards, RCSA
I just started watching these type of planes and they are absolutely fascinating. Kudos's to you and all involved for a fantastic video and show.
Impressive. Beautiful models. Congrats
the best dramatic shows, congratulations!!!
Thank you very much *Karen*. Much appreciated.
*Merry Christmas*
on which plane?
As you might have seen, the B-17 lifted up the tail already after some feet. A tail wheel helps you only at taxiing.
Just awesome to see the formation flight! That sound is so cool!!
Thank you. I'm glad to know, that you like it.
Very nice workmanship and flying skill.
Thank you !
great seeing them all fly together,was wonderful indeed,,nice skill as well.B-17 looks greta,love the aluminum skin.
Thank you very much for your great comment. I'm glad to know that you liked watching the video.
Best regards, RCSA
Some beautiful scale warbirds, as always. Thanks
Many thanks !!!
Awsome good show Gary from Dallas,Tx
Many thanks my friend !!!
This is exactly why I love the European Union. All this cool stuff is always happening here. I've been to meetings like this in Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London, Berlin, Paris, Toulouse, Rome, Athens, Barcelona, Lisbon, Kiev, and Bucharest
THANKS my friend !
WOW. Thanks for the trip!
I love your last line in the credits: "If you don't like it, watch it again". ROFL!!!!!!
Besten Dank für Dein Lob !
Viele Grüße, RCSA
Vielen Dank, Ivan !!!
Wow, wonderful, must have been a heck of a lot of fun to be a flyer.
Injun Mick Many thanks for your kind comment. Oh yes ... it was a great weekend !
great planes , pilots , and video ! Thanks fellas !
+Tim Allen _Thanks for your kind comments. Much appreciated!!!_
I'm Speechless. Your video has taken me from my living room computer and put me right on the airfield with you!! That B-17 flew as smooth as a Pelican. Just riding the wind. It's a shame my Father, who passed away last year could not have seen this. He was a Flight Officer and was training in the AT6 when the War ended. He started in a Stearman, and then had to train extensively in the AT6 because the Allied Forces were loosing many planes. I guess we will not know what his next plane would have been. He always said that he would have preferred to fly Bombers, but the USAAF made all prospective pilots take a psychological exam to identify who would be better in a Fighter or a Bomber. If it is of interest to you, I think it would be. I watched a Great Movie called, " Generation War ". It has English Subtitles and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The movie gives a Human Side to what had happened in Germany during WW2. Great Movie. Great Performance and an Acknowledgement of Thank You for sharing your Passion for All to see. Every Plane in this video reflects your commitment to this Sport. Sympathies for the First Fighter who I would say was " Shot Down " BRAVO..BRAVO..BRAVO.. Now I will search for the photos of the long and countless hours the B-17 Crew spent lovingly working on their project in search of perfection and found it. AWESOME!!!!!!
Gerard Fenn Many thanks for your great comment, _Gerard_.
WWII has many extraordinary stories at almost any family in US/Europe/Far East. We can be happy that we all become friends. And the modellers around the world has the chance to build their favorite warbird. Many people love them to fly on sims, such as War Thunder or IL2 Sturmovik. Others by remote control at the airfield. :)
_Happy Easter and best regards from old Germany_
Yes, the new engines are more powerful and does not suffer anymore.
Just think, it was almost flying with 7 warbirds
YES ... you're right ... _almost_ *smile*
RCScaleAirplanes
That's a shame about the seventh. Sorry for all the rude comments from others. This was an amazing flight. Thank you for sharing.
Very enjoyable thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching and commenting, _Kim_ !!!
Aloof! I love them all, but dat P-47... I have a soft spot for shiny flying bathtubs. ;-)
tojiroh Thank you very much for your cool comment !!!
RCScaleAirplanes
Thank you very much for your cool channel! :)
tojiroh You're always welcome !!!
Great video thank you so much for sharing these beautiful aircraft with those of us whose dreams are bigger than our wallets! ;-)
hier ist mir mal wieder die Kinnlade runtergeklappt.. die "Aluminum Overcast" ist schon eine Augenweide, dazu aber noch der "Geleitschutz" ist der Oberhammer... schade um die P-40.. und die graue Corsair hatte unglaubliches Glück, erst einknicken, dann doch arretiert... ein klasse Event, und Du hast es klasse eingefangen :-)
this is modeling at its best nice one lads
Amazing. It's just seems so real!
Like the engine sounds.
incredible airplanes and pilots fantastic video
post more about that B17 and the other warbirds
carlos casas Thank you for your compliments. I'll do my very best. New videos about the B-17 are already on my computer. I have to find the time to edit.
_Best regards, RCSA_
Super piece of video and the models defy description, from a distance you can hardly tell them from the actual thing! I dread to think how many man-hours it takes to build an aircraft like those.
Many thanks for your kind comment, Andrew.
Some of the planes you can buy as a kit. But most of them are scratch build.

these RC planes sound amazing
_Thank you for your kind comments._
A couple of nerve fraying takeoffs, but it all turned out well. Some beautiful toys in the air.
Thank you for watching and commenting !!!
Beautiful sound!!! Great plane!!
The crash was caused by the lack of engine power and over correction at the sticks ... heavy damaged, but repairable.
Your videos are always great.
great scene !
GameTime *_thanks !_*
