I‘m not a modeller but I really like watching your videos. I find them calming and therapeutic. What a beautiful aeroplane this is. ❤
Man…this is one of your best video yet. Amazingly done. Lots of great tips!!! Just loved every minute of it!!
You are a rock star of the Hobby World. Thank you for posting and sharing. One day I’d like to start flying.
Your building skills never cease to amaze me. The Bird Dog seems to fly very well, almost scale like. Thanks for a great video!
Hey Robert!
Building skills? Its an ARTF
@@phippsa3 Right? These are ASSEMBLING skills.
I think this model is fussy, but with careful assembly details you can have a fine airframe
I'm impressed by this model. She looks amazing and has great flight characteristics.
Wonderful model and, good job!
You are so lucky to be able to have ALL OF YOUR PLANES AND GEAR.
Yeah ! Maybe too much .
This is the 1st time seeing you & your channel. What an awesome large scale bird! Job well done on the assembly & excellent 1st flight! Thanks for sharing!
I like that they make the box large enough to bury a guy in for when his wife figures out how much he spent on it. 😁
I adore your videos, they make me feel brave enough to tackle these projects. The detail and explanations you give are so unique on this platform. Looking forward to the next one already!
28:59 Your friends utterly fantastic “wheel” landing, greased unto the ground with no bouncing, knocked my socks off. I’d dare say the best I’v ever seen! Great show, thank you!!!
An RC airplane hobby is not a viable option for me, at least not for a few years; I've already got other hobbies on the back burner that I need to return to. But it is pure pleasure watching your builds, or listening to your radio voice in the background while working on projects.
Needs spring loaded nerf rockets for ground attack
I worked on bird dogs in 67-68 in vietnam . We had a couple that needed major repairs but dont believe we lost any.
We had rockets on one wing and m60 machine gun on the other . Both got used .
Really enjoyed your video , brought back a lot of memories . Got to go up on one of the test flights which pilot did some amazing things
Your model seems equally ++ capable ,, i,'m impressed with loop . Great video .
@William Shields you replied to someone else commenting. The guy that posted the video will probably not see it where you posted your comment. This comment deserves for the creator of this video to see it. You will need to copy and paste this and post it on the main comment section so he does.
Love your videos, I watch them over and over again. Keep them coming.
Long time since I have watched a video like this and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have a 96" Bird Dog which has flown very little. This inspires me to wring it out again.
Big beautiful plane, only complaint I can see is the finish on the cowl paint. Looks like a lot of orange peel otherwise looks like it went together easily. Also wish they made the auto start for the 120, that would have been cool.
Yea, I meant to say something about that, but got missed in the edit. Not sure if all the kits are like that. My kit was quite literally one of the first production versions so hopefully they sorted out the painting techniques for the cowl.
Great job building and flying! I've watched many of your videos, so I finally subscribed. I used to fly nitro planes (meaning MANY years ago) but just a year or so ago got back into RC with electrics. I once built a Circus Hobbies Bird Dog (about 109" wingspan I think). LOVE Bird Dogs! Spent so much time and put so much detail into it....that it became a "hanger queen". You know...the one you just didn't want to crash. LOL. In fact, when I got out of nitro planes, and flying altogether for many years (I sold everything I had) ...but it's the only plane that I kept! I built it when I was about 40....I'm 72 now. Anyway....you keep those videos coming.
That second pilot was awesome. Maybe you should give him the sticks more often. ;)
Excellent video, I really enjoyed the build and your humor!!
Wow! That IS a BIG DAWG.
Super nice ,when I can afford to spend that kind of coin on a huge beauty this will be the one.
Really good photography, and perfect commentary. Thank you for not having music playing while you talk!
What a AWESOME model Fitz!!! I would have the Gray Air Force version if I had a way to haul that fuselage around. That huge model is not too dissimilar to flying full scale, Lol. Just Beautiful and thanks so much for your great and very descriptive video!!
Yea, it just barely fit my trailer.
Fantastic airplane.
Appreciate your nice build/assembly work.
And I complement you on this incredibly well done and informative video.
Outstanding! Loved the assembly part! Great flying L-19!
I learn something new every time I watch you build. Great job!
Got to see this very model fly at the Jetero RC High Wing Hoedown June 24, 2023 Ownership passed from Fitz to another gentleman who brought it out sporting fabullous custom weathering.
Wow! Amazing kit, looks great in the sky with the smoke! Thanks for the comprehensive video!
Very impressive video. Your building and fabrication skills are first rate! What a cool model.
Very nice flight and a great scale plane.
Very enjoyable video. You have developed some great skills. I would never think of flying something that large. Ready for show in Germany?
Awesome. Great instructual and fun video. You make it look easy.
Enjoyed that video, that sense of humor is refreshing.
Love it, great job. I got the L-4 Grasshopper and was wondering about this one next. I just might have to start saving for that baby! Thanks a lot for sharing!!!!!
Super video. Great build coverage and flight review.
Wow what a great plane. Good job.
Trying to learn 🤩. Love your videos. Amazing!
Just discovered your channel. I love it!
The boys ever play and have fun . Some time the scale change but the fun is much bigger. The money spent doesn't mather. What I Wana do having fun
Awesome plane, congrats on a beautiful big plane , looks great.
Great park flyer!
Now thats a plane, nice.
Makes my 2 meter sailplane look small & my UMX Radian look like it fits on a postage stamp.
I hope to one day have a collection even close to as awesome as yours!
Great work. Good quality video
This is a fantastic video Fitz, I think I may get one of these in the near future, I am starting to like scale more and more.
Just discovered your channel and love it. keep it up.
Great video. First time seeing you. Subscribed. You make it look easy too easy.
I really enjoyed this video. You did a great job putting the airplane together and explaining what you did. That was a great maiden flight. I don't have room for an airplane that large, but I sure would love to see it fly.
I like you good perfect
I'm glad there are no retracts!
Excellent video and a great looking plane!
That is a very large kit never built one that big but still well done.
Must confess at that price don't think I could ever bring myself to fly it
That is one big RC plane.
Fitz,
I bought the smaller 100" one from Texas Warbird people in '19 but things have just kept me from getting to it. I did learn some things about the Bird Dog.
- The multi part US Army Training video series on the L-19 is available on UA-cam
- Over 400 L-19 / O-1 Bird Dogs were lost in SE Asia. The casualty rate was much higher than for the lost jets because they flew at such low altitudes (no bail out) and if they survived the crash but weren't in friendly lines, well, Charlie didn't take prisoners.
- The Warrant Officers that flew these planes became infamous tree top flyers of the '70s and '80s. Stephen Stills (of Crosby, Stills and Nash) wrote a song about them and there are several versions here on UA-cam.
It would be cool to get some Estes rocket motors with out an ejection charge, maybe with smoke, to simulate rocket launches.
Yea, the L-19 was a very successful aircraft.
Very impressive presentation
OOO, looks to me as the landing light case was part of the heat-sink for the lights. Make sure they are not overheating.
Made several flights with no problems.
thanks for the tip on putting grease on the robart type hinges to avoid glue getting on the center.
I really enjoy your videos as I can be obsessive compulsive like you.
Nice capture of an airliner at 22:27!! I always love things like that.
Great plane, great video and description, and damn good flying!
Be sure to read the book "The Ravens" about Forward Air Controllers in Laos, they mostly flew this plane, its a must-read.
Hi just discovering your channel and really enjoying it! Thanks! Found you while searching for "Electricub II" as I just inherited one and love flying it!
I want one of those. Now that I'm older I need big slow stable planes to fly. Thanks for posting this bird! Been seeing it on Legend site...formally VQ Warbirds. But really wanted a video of it in action.
Excellent video article Fitz! Enjoyed it...
EXCELENTE REVISION, GRACIAS POR SU TIEMPO.-
Nice work there. Nice plane.
An excellently made video and model !!! Really enjoyed thank you !!!!!
This L-19 Bird Dog is movie ready. All you need is a GI Joe in the Cockpit. 🤠
Very beautiful machine, realistic flying and nice landing. Congratulations and I wish you all the best, Dalimil Koutek, Czech Republic.
Great video! Thank's.
Absolutely outstanding and beautiful! Many thanks for the Video ;-) (from France)
I just found your channel. Great stuff man!
Gorgeous landings😮
Beautful Plane ...😊😊😊
I love the Bird Dog! Great video. Looks easy to assemble and is one impressive size! A bit to pricey for me though but looks worth every penny.
Awesome video sir, you did a great job!
Awesome plane and video. Nice job flying.
So when did you make the rockets functional?
You Sir are an ARF master !!!!
Beautiful machine and great build job.
Very entertaining. Thank you
Nice Job!
Fantastic video Fritz!! What a great plane and having 3 schemes as well as an unfinished version will make any pilot happy. Thanks for sharing 👊🏼👊🏼
Great video and thanks for sharing!
Beautiful plane!!!
Great video. I enjoyed it.
Excellent Video !!
Great job! Best RC video I’ve seen yet. But where did you get that exhaust tubing? I sure could use some.
First UA-cam video I've enjoyed watching in a really long time.
So sweet !! I love your videos, man!!
As always awesome build and Maiden flight
hahaha I showed my wife and she said I cant believe other blokes are as bad as you (me) Totally jealous I love it
Oh boy! that wont be an easy task to set carburetor since the setting screws will be ridden behind hot exhaust and not far from running propeller.
Awesomeness all around 😎
I Like This Man,,,, So Far ,,, He's Great,,, Has The Voice,,, Has The "Timing",,, and He Has The Knowledge...
Thanks, Pappy!
Now i want one😮
Fantastic ! I once built a 1/4 scale L-19 from Roy Vaillancourt plans, but sold the plane before I flew it. I modified his plans to correct a couple of scale issues, and when I set it up, had the landing lights on a micro switch to come on as the flaps were lowered, it would have been a good tell-tale to ensure flap position while in flight. This "almost 1/3 scale model looks really nice, will have to look into maybe getting one. I've flown back seat in one, it's unbelievable how short the takeoff and landings can be, and with half flaps it can just hang in the air. Can the flaps on this model go past 40 degrees? Full flaps on the full scale is 60 degrees. If you really like this aircraft type, you should look for a copy of "The Lovable One-Niner", by Minard Thompson, Jr, published by Turner Publishing. It has the full history and development of the aircraft and a multitude of photos in many different paint schemes, an excellent resource for the modeler.
Thanks for book info.
Yes flaps can move more. Was being conservative for first flights.
What a beautiful kit , besides the fact that you made a superb job of the build and accompanying video, l love the way that the kit still leaves just enough for the aeromodeller to assemble and fit , almost as though the manufacturer is sharing the build with you .
I think this video could very well pull me back into aero modelling 😂👍
Great thanks for sharing.
This video is amazing. Could you tell me what film/skin you used to cover the frame please? I am actually building a full size replica L-19 and whilst the wooden frame doesn't faze me, I'm stuck on what to cover the frame with.
Just wondering when you will get your Corsair up in the air
Wow! How cool is that?!?
Beautiful model!
How does the smoke react with the “skin” under the model. Some of the coverings don’t react well with some chemicals.
Your planes are awesome. 👍🏻
Didn't notice any problems
