    Wow, that is a nice looking C-47. I have many hours in those old birds, the real thing. I have never flown one that looked that good, I guess being older than I am has a few reasons for that. The latest one I ever flew was a 1944 model. Anyway very good work and very neat model. Keep up the good work and enjoy that thing to its fullest.

    @deadstick8624 4 роки тому +1

    With ALL that work and with that absolutely beautiful model of a gorgeous airplane, how did you have the courage to fly it. I would be too scared. And that landing was the best landing of an RC airplane that I have ever seen. Bravo.

    Enthralling video-so much detail has been added - the undercarriage oleo struts are magnificent and the tyres look as though they are pneumatic rather than solid.

    What a wonderful job. You can be justly proud of having copied the most beautiful aircraft that has ever been designed.
    Well done with the flight.

    Thank you! I live under the flightpath of Long Beach, CA airport where Catalina Flying Boats operated 2 C47s and a Beech 18 & loved the sight & sound of the round loud ones overhead. Our house was built in 1939 & I liked to think those Douglases could have been built around the same time at the factory right here at LGB. Sadly, the Beech is gone & the C47s were sold to, I think, to a Zaire operator a couple of summers ago.

    Only annoying thing is the sound. It's like grinding your beard with granpas old Phillips chinmower. Little bigger version with a couple of Moki radials, you're rite at the mounayey.
