All I can say my FREND is FANTASTIC A REAL R/C MODELER LIKE MY SELF AFTER 45 YEARS OF FLYING , BUILDING , AND DESIGNING, YOU ARE A REAL CREDIT TO OUR HOBBY. THIS IS WHAT MODELING AND ENGINEERING IS ALL ABOUT. NOT ALL THESE INTERNET NEXT DAY DELIVERYS. THANK YOU MY FREND WELL DONE .
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.
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.
FANTASTIC, best build I have ever seen. I fly the DC-3 for a living, soon to retire so decided to build the Ziroli DC-3, your info helped a lot........
That is one beautiful scale flyer. You should be very proud of her and yourself. Very outstanding detailed work. And you fly her like she was meant to fly. A credit to the hobby.
I don't know whats more impressive, the plane itself or that landing. Absolutely gorgeous plane, those landing gear are works of art in and of themselves. Very impressive!
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.
Great scale model of a great aircraft. You displayed great craftsmanship (and flying ability) with your video. Many great years of enjoyable flying. Congratulations!
That is a very good tribute to the aeroplane that changed aviation. It is perfect! Thanks for not making it electric. Please make a Lockheed Electra 10E.
Stórglæsilegt líkan af þessari frábæru flugvél og einstök vinnubrögð við samsetninguna. Ég vona að þú fljúgir henni ekki lengur og setjir hana frekar á safn. Vel af sér vikið!
The secret behind a realistic flight is that every component on the model is in true scale. The most important things are that the controls are in scale and that the air flow works like on a full size plane. The entire model is in true scale, including the chords. The DC-3 is one of the best airplanes in the world and if you build a true scale model, you wont get a better flying experience anywhere.
Nice job man. Really nice piece of craftmanship. 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.
Absolutely perfect. I've never seen such care to detail like this before. Well done. Be proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing

THANK YOU MY FREND WELL DONE .
You are a true craftsman...very very well executed. Takes a ton of skill and patience to build like this.....congrats!!!!
Taking pics of the crew helping with the build was priceless 😂 Amazing job my dude,
Gorgeous! my dad used to fly dc3s around the Caribbean back in the 1980s, this brings back a whole lot of memories...
This is amazing!
I would love to see an up-close of the gear retraction!

Isn't IT an dc-3 ???😕

thank you for sharing! what a beautiful build and nice scale piloting. you are really talented!
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.
A lovely model built with real dedication.
And oh my, what a beautiful landing. :-D
Glad to see some modelers are still building.
FANTASTIC, best build I have ever seen. I fly the DC-3 for a living, soon to retire so decided to build the Ziroli DC-3, your info helped a lot........
I made a DC-3 from the Ziroli drawings 25 years ago and was never happy with it.

Simple Es-pec-ta-cu-lar..! What amazing job..! A dream....! Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy every second ir your vídeo.
What a super build. A exceptional model. It must have taken you at least a couple of years to build. Great work Sturla

Never in my life have I seen such scaled perfection!
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.
Unbelievable craftsmanship, a master builder
Beautiful plane. Best RC landing on grass I've ever seen
Just stunning! Never seen anything to match it, well done
That was ....so good to watch...lovely work and flying....cheers..:)
What a beautyful "Rosinenebomber"😍👍

Great scale model of a great aircraft. You displayed great craftsmanship (and flying ability) with your video. Many great years of enjoyable flying. Congratulations!
Amazing build and it looks so realistic!
Excellent work ,plenty of time and patience but the end product looks well worth it ...Brilliant !
Wonderful. I used to be on the overhaul crew at Speke in the sixties. The last aircraft I worked on was a Dak’ Great plane.
Great Video Mr Sturla. Great work!
dabb Thanks for the comment and the video from last year.

Very impressive! Joy to watch! Thanks for sharing!

Hermoso...esto lo venden en un conjunto..y donde lo venden ??? Siempre veo estos aviones extra grandes ...que pais los vende..???
Stórglæsilegt líkan af þessari frábæru flugvél og einstök vinnubrögð við samsetninguna. Ég vona að þú fljúgir henni ekki lengur og setjir hana frekar á safn. Vel af sér vikið!
Espectacular muy bueno
Les mando un saludo muy grande para todos desde Buenos Aires Argentina 😃👍👍.
Gostei, Você vende os plans para o Brasil e quanto custa as plans via Internet, posso saber,estou interessado amigo. 😮
Excellent spectacular.
Saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina.
😎👍
Beautiful job 👍
That’s really neat, great work! Jimp
Awesome!!! 👍 How about building a similar C-47 in olive drab with D-Day invasion stripes too?
Excelente, hermoso modelo, Gracias por compartir.
TOO PERFECT !!! PLEASE DON'T EVER BREAK IT ! PLEASE !
The best of the best I have ever seen.
That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
Outstanding build! The flight looks very realistic, did you thicken the cord for better scale-flight characteristics?
The secret behind a realistic flight is that every component on the
model is in true scale. The most important things are that the controls
are in scale and that the air flow works like on a full size plane. The
entire model is in true scale, including the chords. The DC-3 is one of
the best airplanes in the world and if you build a true scale model,
you wont get a better flying experience anywhere.
Great work ! Bravo indeed
what did you use to cover the balsa? was it metal and if so what type?
Elegant flight! Looks as if it is very fast - 150 km/h?
Nice job man. Really nice piece of craftmanship.
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.
absolut der Hammer......
Excellent work
Bravo, beautifull job.
Amazing!! Good job!!
Wonderfull flight
Super gratulation!!!!!!!!
