    I always suspected that Seagull was an OEM for Hangar 9...now I know. Great tour BTW! They are very cool to have let you fly their planes.

    This video gives me a lot of faith in this manufacture and more should do this

    Wow! Amazing! I'll bet that you had felt very privileged and honored to have been able to fly their aircraft, especially the Corsair. Congrats!

    Nice to see how much care is taken with their models, and of the facilities, along with good working conditions for employees. they have some very nice scale models! I want my house to look like their factory!

      My 4br house has every room filled with airplanes, parts, a work shop and a museum where I keep my RC stuff from the 1980's.

    Wow! Seeing behind the scenes was amazing and I was super impressed with how much stuff was actually done on-site. It probably should have gone without saying, but I didn't realize how complex an operation it was to manufacture RC planes. Great work!

    Excellent upload! Total respect to these artisans. My Singaporean father in law gave me a Seagull F4U as a present while we were visiting, it was super as was the Skywalker I purchased a year before. So glad that these beautifully built models are still made in Vietnam, more reason to buy another one!!
    And what a lovely end to the tour, going to a club for some flying, eating lunch together and then some more flying! Perfect 🇻🇳

    Congrats! That’s awesome to have such an amazing opportunity to visit and fly with a company that’s producing such good models and to be able to offer feedback and suggestions from a modeler that sees what we do on the end user/buyer/flyer is even better!!!

    Hey man that was awesome! Hats off to you for going deep into the local scene and no better way than at a flying club. I am sure they really enjoyed having you there and showing off their stuff proudly. I have been traveling the world professionally for a while and tapping into the rc flying scene as well. By the way you flew great! I would have been way too nervous to put my hands on the sticks of those RC gassers. Well done!

  • @OldMtnGeezer
    @OldMtnGeezer Рік тому +1

    I sure do enjoy your videos, Fitz. This one was extra special & brought back some memories. I was stationed in Long Binh, HQ, USARV (U.S. Army Vietnam), in '70, not too far from Saigon, and those street scenes looked quite familiar. The cultural differences between then and now are both dramatic and refreshingly welcome. Glad you got to do the tour, with the added bonus of a little stick time. (BTW, my very first RC plane was a 60" ws Das Ugly Stik with a Fox Hawk .60 & EK Logictrol radio, purchased in Ft. Worth, built & flown soon after my return home. The engine-out on takeoff was also quite familiar. LOL!)

    Brilliant video and really well made and well presented. You flew the planes really well too. I have a few Seagull models in my Hangar and they are all good flying planes that I enjoy taking to the club field. Thanks for sharing this, it was very enjoyable to watch.

  • @mikefly562

    Very awesome video seeing this. I own several Hangar 9 airplanes, so it's nice to see where the planes are built. Seagull has always done excellent work and wish Horizon would carry more of their products.
