Easily the coolest RC video I've ever seen. Well done for all involved. Trust me, that took some real skill and preparation to pull off. Carry on, gentlemen!
Thank you, years ago one of my great uncles was an infantryman in a glider although I always thought they were towed by an aircraft. Watching this and seeing that maybe he wasn't towed but literally lifted up underneath another plane gives me a whole new appreciation for how he and his comrades must have felt. Thank you so much for this, very interesting and informative.
Thank you very much. Please be aware that in History this was only experimetal, not operational. The DFS230 asault glider was tested in Mistel-configuration together with Klemm 35, Focke Wulf FW-56- Stösser and finally with Messerschmitt BF-109.
That is really impressive. Makes me wonder who is controlling it - the glider pilot or the airplane pilot - or it is a coordination between the pilots?
Hello and thank you so much for your kind comments on this project. Only the glider is controlling the flight until the separation. We stay close together and talk to each other, who does what and when. The separation is the ecxiting moment, therfore it should fly evenly and straight
Holy smokes - this was something different -- amazing build. My heart was in my mouth at take-off - phew, what a relief. Kudos to the pilots managing this combo, and separation went great... although by sound of things there was quite a lot of wind to fight with. Safe landings - more relief. This was something to the record books Horst - memorable :)
Indeed, but for the flight, there are simple rules. The glider uses its rudders and ailerons while the upper plane only use the throttle. After separation, each pilot flies its own model.
Oh boy! The courage it would take to build such fine models and then add 1000x risk factor by sticking them together and hoping that they'll separate and go their own way! Collosal things must dangle between the legs of these guys 😅
So was spannendes habe ich ja noch nicht gesehen , gab es so etwas verrücktes tatsächlich ? Warum diese huckepack Lösung anstatt es zu schleppen , bzw wo waren da die Vorteile die die vielen Nachteile überwiegen mir erschließt sich das Konzept nicht . Auch beim Flug müssen so die Piloten gut miteinander kommunizieren in echt wie beim Modell . Könnte mir vorstellen das vor dem Trennen die eigentliche Steuerung vom unteren Flugzeug durchgeführt wird da es deutlich größer ist und entsprechend mehr Ruderwirkung mit sich bringt oben wird sicher mit unterstützend gesteuert und dafür braucht es gute absprachen . auch die Flugzeuge aufeinander stapeln im Modellbau sicher kein Problem im Original nicht mal eben erledigt . So oder so eine faszinierendes und sehr spannendes Video würde sagen ein highlight 2023 und toppt fast alles was ich bisher gesehen hatte . Auch der detail Grad der Modelle sehr schön mit liebe gebaut und geflogen .
Vielen Dank für das Lob! Ja das gab es wirklich. Der Segler steuert die Richtung das Motormodell hauptsächlich die Leistung, bis zum Ausklinken. Aber alle diese Fragen wurden weiter unten ja schon beantwortet.
@@geraldhaller9906 Ja das ist auf einem Kanal der international Beachtung findet tatsächlich ein Thema, aber die Übersetzung wird ja oft per Klick direkt angeboten und funktioniert gut und verständlich. Zur sehr interessanten Entwicklungsgeschichte unseres Lastenseglers und seiner Erprobung empfehle ich die Netzrecherche "Mistelschlepp" oder "DFS230" oder das Buch: Hans Jacobs / Ponierleben im Flugzeugbau.
Das Mistel-Konzept war im Original nicht nachhaltig erfolgreich. Dies dennoch im Modellbau nachzuvollziehen ist hohe Kunst, Hut ab vor dieser Leistung. @ Horst: wieder toll gefilmt und geschnitten, diese Videos sind in jeder Hinsicht ein Erlebnis.
Yes indeed, there wss a development-project driven by glider-legend Hans Jacobs in the early fourtees. Written down in the book: Hans Jacobs; "Pionierleben im Flugzeugbau"
@@salihmehdi7594 maybe my english is too bad, or I didn't get you... The Klemm stands in two shells with its main wheels and the rear end of the fuselage lays in a forke made outof spring-whire. The Klemm is downforced to the glider only by a thin rope during start and flight. This rope is released and the planes separate. That's all.
There is a thin rope fixed in the Klemm. It is attached to a towing clutch in the glider. After clutching via Servo in the glider, the rope is pre-tensioned with a screw in the fuselage of the Klemm.
It's gonna cause a narcissistic injury you know how weak those narcissists are... Because it's a glider and a glider doesn't give narcissistic supply.... I flew a glider at a power club and they all had to go to the middle hospital to recover
With UA-cam you can only choose whether it is only made for children. I didn't activate this. Aside from that. ... what in the video is exclusively for adults?
Yes and no. What you describe is correct in many cases. But there were much more projects with this basic idea. What you see here is one of the tested configuration with exactly these two manned aircraft. Should have been an alternative to usual towing of assault gliders.

dude i love seeing unique, underrepresented models being built and flown, its my favorite part of the hobby
Assault Glider, who doesn't want one of those? This is some kind of badassery, excellent work.
Congratulations to the builders and pilots on a remarkable r/c modeling achievement.
Thank you very much! Glad you like the video 🤗👍🏼
Stunning display of aeronautical control, with amazing scale replicas of the real things!
Thankyou for sharing with us.

I thought exaxtly the same.
@@ratajoThanks for explanation.
Brilliant! Superb models and equally superb flying by both pilots. Great demonstration of Luftwaffe ingenuity too. Very impressive.
Horst, so very impressive, and to think that these superb models are also 40 years old....WOW! Thanks for posting this great video!! Cheers, Dougal
Excelentní zdravím z České republiky ❤😊❤
Awesome display of craftsmanship, model engineering and skill!!
OKAY.....that is BY FAR, the coolest thing I have ever seen in the RC Plane world. OUTSTANDING!!!

That is incredible!! Glad it all went well! Wonderfull to see such skills!
This is awesome !Thank you fir your contribution to aviation history.Hello from France.
Tebrikler çok güzel olmuş emeğinize yüreğinize sağlık 👍👍👍🇹🇷🙋♂️
Thank you very much for the compliment. 😊
Fabulous! Superb engineering and flying.
Many thanks! 😎🤙🏼
Very unique. Never knew it was a configuration that existed.
I love seeing innovation like this in RC.
sehr schöne Modelle , interessantes Mistel Gespann
I never knew that plane ever existed. Cool!
Good old Huckepack taken to the next level!
Well done! UK.
Many thanks !
Klasse Vorführung, das macht doch Spaß! :)
Klasse Modelle,super geflogen.Interressanter Schleppflug.
Beautiful .
Thank you! Cheers!
So cool 😂👍☝️
Thanks my friend 😊
Amazing I love the teamwork !!!
There's nothing not impressive about this. Super cool!
Whandabaa !!! The relief that plane must have felt !!! 😉😎
Absolutely brilliant! Well done to both.
Fascinating..👍🙂
Many thanks !
I thought this looked kinda crazy and then I figured out the Klemm 35 was a gasser..... so cool!
Charlie chimp would be impressed a great effort lads..
Thank you very much !!!
Complete success, well done. 👏
Awesome. Thank you for posting
Very nice !
Thank you very much!
Beautiful job!
Fabulous..
Thank you !
Separation begins at 5:26 👏👏👏👏
Yes 👍
That had to take a lot of coordination and planning. 👍
Indeed, but for the flight, there are simple rules. The glider uses its rudders and ailerons while the upper plane only use the throttle. After separation, each pilot flies its own model.
A lovely achievement.
Das ist zehr awesome.
Glad you like it 👍
Fantastic
Thanks !
Eindrücklich!
Vielen Dank !
Fantastic :)

Félicitations pour se beau vol planeur lancer par avion Félicitations 🎉
Feels like it was taken 90 years ago when the Luftwaffe began service.
Sehr cool 👍👍👍
Super cool! 👍👍👍
Well, _that_ was cool.
Great flight! Did anyone else notice the TIK-TAC, center screen, passing from right to left, behind the glider at 6:34?
Appears to be a passenger plane in the far distance. Nothing unusual about that.
Lovely job looks the part well done. Steve U.K.
They should do a three plane tow of a gigant glider
amazing!
wow
thanks 👍
excelente
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks ! 👍
nicht schlecht herr specht...............👌
Vielen Dank !
As a glider pilot, I never want to be launched like this. Impressive in the RC world, though.
Sehr gelungen
Vielen Dank !
@@RCScaleAirplanes gerne, verdient🤩
Is the airplane/glider combination an actual representation of a full size aircraft combination which really flew years ago?
Yes indeed, there wss a development-project driven by glider-legend Hans Jacobs in the early fourtees. Written down in the book: Hans Jacobs; "Pionierleben im Flugzeugbau"
Dear would you tell me more about launching mechanism...good job..
two comments below, I explaned a bit...
@@ratajo mechanism not the controller...I mean laying and launching video or scheme
@@salihmehdi7594 maybe my english is too bad, or I didn't get you...
The Klemm stands in two shells with its main wheels and the rear end of the fuselage lays in a forke made outof spring-whire. The Klemm is downforced to the glider only by a thin rope during start and flight. This rope is released and the planes separate. That's all.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

👍👍
Is the release wire stay with the glider or the smaller model? In other words where is the servo to release the glider?
There is a thin rope fixed in the Klemm. It is attached to a towing clutch in the glider. After clutching via Servo in the glider, the rope is pre-tensioned with a screw in the fuselage of the Klemm.
Sweet, I didn't think it was going to work lol
Most likely in reality, it would have been towed to the battle field, and the fighter released for air cover? Just a guess
no, it was planned to do this kind of towing instead of regular towing and the motor-aircraft would have turned back to homebase after release.
4:26 another plane
faaaaar away 👍😂
Hombre volar avion RC hombre ser feliz. 😅😅😅
Who needs retracts or retractable landing gear when droppable is possible? Lol 😂
It's gonna cause a narcissistic injury you know how weak those narcissists are... Because it's a glider and a glider doesn't give narcissistic supply.... I flew a glider at a power club and they all had to go to the middle hospital to recover

Impressive. But probably should be flagged in UA-cam for inappropriate adult content...
With UA-cam you can only choose whether it is only made for children. I didn't activate this.
Aside from that. ... what in the video is exclusively for adults?
@@RCScaleAirplanes Oops. I did not think my dumb humor should be mistaken for a genuine protestation.
@@brianhiles8164 ... LOL. Don't worry Brian. 😉 🤙🏼
De Schwob boi drr Arbad😂😂😂
Ha freile!
Of course the original Mistel's were unmanned and packed with explosives. They were weapons not sport gliders.
