Man oh man did that look and sound the business,not sure about anyone else but i certainly thought so,the RC pilot flew it lovely too and it seem to have more than enough power on tap. 😉
Thanks for sharing and uploading this one as it's very much appreciated.
Much love and respect coming from another RC pilot in the UK. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
*Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated !!!* 👍
_After take-off Achim realized that the setup was perfect and therefore he started to fly this baby like it should be flown._
Cheers, Horst
Yes great piloting skills. Enjoyed watching. Looked like he had been flying this plane a long time.
@@cliffordvancooney99 *Thanks.*
An experienced pilot should have no problems with a well-build biplane.
A warbird, on the other hand, is not so easy to fly, since this type of aircraft is far more critical and is also sensitive to flying.
Jet models are a completely different chapter again. But there are also training models which are easy to fly.
She is absolutely stunning and great piloting. Presicion is a must and you got that. Nice flying.
Thank you for your kind comment.
👍
@@RCScaleAirplanes anytime don't mention it, some people can build and others can fly. I think you have both covered as for me, I fly better than I build.
@@deljenik129 _Fortunately, there are beautiful RTF & ARF models available today. These are also the models that I fly. Other modelers make their dream come true by buying a kit that they can assemble into an airworthy aircraft over the years._
Probably the sweetest rc video ever !
Thanks for sharing ! ♥️
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it! 🤙😎
He flew it so confidently I forgot this was a maiden flight. Beautifully built, flown, and filmed as well
Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated !!! 👍

Very good comment. We sometimes forget about the camera guys that greatly compliment these exquisite flights.
@@cardinaldriver *Thank you for your praise.* 😉
The engine sounds especially sweet near idle, so quiet, too. Beautiful plane, excellent camera work - filming RC planes doing Aerobatics is hard!
Thank you to the compliment, Chris. Much appreciated !!! 🤙😎
Is there anything more enjoyable than watching an RC plane flying? Beautiful maiden flight! Congratulations!
_Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated !!!_ 👍
Absolutely gorgeous example. Powered and flown to perfect scale envelope. I am a huge fan of the classic bipes and they have such a great presence in the air as well as the ground. Bravo to you sir.
Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated! 👍
There can't be enough PT-17's. This one looks and sounds awesome! Well flown. Great videography also.

Perfect choice of colors, beautiful build, nice maiden flight. Didn't go easy on it, but didn't use the "kid gloves" either. Congrats to Achim. Great vid Horst!

Pilot in the cockpit and a tuneup and she’s ready. Really like the civilian paint scheme and the wheel pants. Great detail instrument panels look AWSOME!!! Really great to see one done not in Military trim!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!! My guess is you’re working on a cowling for it right now.
Nice job on the build and flying it. Love the radial engine.

beautiful video, beautiful sound of the engine and even more beautiful the model, please consult you, the scale of the model what is it?
Thank you. The scale is 1/3.3 ... For the model data please have a look at the video description.
Fantastic model, and the engine sounds glorious. But it needs a Pilot and Passenger / Trainee.
_Thank you for your kind comment, Brian._
Due to the weight limit of 25 kg, Achim is searching for a lightweight dummy in order to not exceed this limit.
@@RCScaleAirplanes Oh I didn't realise there was a weight limit where you are located. I use Pilots from realmodelpilots in the UK and from WarbirdPilots in the US. Both are low weight. I go WarbirdPilots for Single / Dual seat ( With moving heads) and Realmodelpilots painted pilots for Bombers like my Seagull B25. This one I just added to my potential futures buy list its nice.
Yes. we have a weight limit of 25 kg here in Germany and most of the European countries. Switzerland is limited to 30 kg.
All models over 25 kg / 55 pounds have to be certified by a technical check, which relates to the construction and stability. In addition, the pilot has to undergo special training, which gives him a separate license for large models.
_I've checked your YT channel, but unfortunately I can't find any video of your RC models._
@@RCScaleAirplanes They are not there. That channel is old and more about my Porsche racing and my foray into heli / drones from 4 years ago. I'm setting up new channels and VLOGs at SydneyRCmodels.com et al. But far from ready yet. I think my First build and Detail video will be my Aviation Jets SU35S twin turbine with 2x Swiwin SW 140B Turbines. I intend to join all the Sydney based RC clubs and see what I can do to promote the Hobby here is Sydney. I'm currently a member at 2 one is Electric only. Im still setting up my workshop for making detailed parts. The very first Video will be a fly around inside the workshop. Yes fly around. :) (DJI Camera Drone). I have setup 3 different Vlogs. Sydneymodelaircraft.com is one. I plan to do most videos from inflight cameras, even build videos. 3 Seperate channels Helicopters, Drones, Fixed Wing (Electric, Gas and Turbine) have to find something do do in retirement. p.s. I'm in Australia if you haven't already guessed from the Sydney Motorsport Park track videos from 7 years ago. Started racing bikes and cars when I was 18 Started RC at 22. That was a long time ago. I'm 65 now and retired. Thanks for your interest. Been a subscriber of yours for some time now. Keep up the good work. I'm learning from you.
Cheers
_Hello Brian_
Very interesting story. I am also retired and 64 years old. Are you on Facebook?
You have big plans for your pension. I would be happy if you could keep me up to date with the progress of your activities.
Thank you again for your kind words.
_Cheers, Horst_
Unreal,..wish it was mine
Sounds dope
What a noise... ❗❗❗🤘💪👍🤓🇨🇵
Thank you ! 👍
Simply stunning, where's the pilot??
_THANKS !_
Due to the weight limit of 25 kg, Achim is searching for a lightweight dummy in order to not exceed this limit.
Beautiful
Stunning Stearman! But needs a pilot. With a long scarf.
Love it
HALLO... FROM INDONESIA
What engine ?
Wonderful! Its flying characteristics are very realistic. It has just the right amount of power-to-weight.
Is this kit really made of balsa wood? (Probably not for a 20 kg model...)
Just one suggestion: The placement of the firewall is not to scale, because of the dimensions of the engine, which you cannot change. Would it not be easy to build a false fuselage extension so as to make it look like the engine is “thinner“?
This airplane was built from a Balsa USA kit.
It is indeed made of balsa, spruce, and plywood, much in the traditional sense of model building.
At 1/3 scale, that's a lot of Stearman right there.
Beautiful plane! Ohhh, that sound! 😁
Nice plane, needs a pilot
*_Thanks !_*
Due to the weight limit of 25 kg, Achim is searching for a lightweight dummy in order to not exceed this limit.
Any issues with flying wires on the starboard side coming lose?
No. Everything alright.
_In what sequence did you suspect that?_
Very nice, what engine was that
Nice
_THANKS !_
Hope you working on a nice scale pilot
