    I literally stumbled ober the RFB some weeks ago.
    I managed to find one for Flight Sim and its become a fav airplane to fly!
    With modern tech, especially Carbon Fibre, I believe it could work again!

    Live and learn: plan on putting a rotary engine in anything will cause painful failure rather quickly.

    Why are most points repeated so many times? This is an issue with your other videos as well

    AI made?, it repeats the same things 3 or 4 times per phrase. This video should be like 5 min tops.

    I'm really starting to think this is an AI channel. But in case it isn't and it is a person writing there scripts I'd say watch your repetition levels and stop telling us the same thing twice in the space of 2 minutes try to not over use a work in quick succession like Innovation or Innovative which is being shotgun blasted out of the script.
    Also if you want to make a point about 1960's Jet advancements then say why they differ from jets of the 1950's specifically. and also what specifically the challenges are of moving from a Piston Prop or Turbo Prop to a jet.
    The visuals are decent on this channel but the script repetition just come across like padding the run time to me. It also has a habit of making statements without context too assuming a level of knowledge that you can't really assume is present in every viewer while not making your video sound like it is talking down to you isn't that hard if you put the statements in the context of a historical narrative and it does kinda try to do that. but yeah work on your script quality a bit (if you are a real person) & if you are a robot then I'd say get a thesaurus plug in.
