Still buzzing from that successful bounce! What an epic day. 👍👍👍 Hope everyone enjoys the project!
sure as hell! love it! I am a bit of a WW2 plane expert, and I think you did a good job replicating it in this small scale! Well done!
spoiler! XD
O man you guys should test a little more and get better at it, make a new foam plane (or a couple :) ), paint it the right colors and you could give demonstrations at airshows, wwII celebrations/remembrances, veteran meet ups. Those old guys will be thrilled to so young guys like you trying to mimic what their generation pulled off.
That was great guise - well done & congratulations. ..You induced a smile on my face😃👌.
Have a great weekend & the best to all (& fam.).
I also enjoyed your channel. Bell just rang.
So insanely cool. Class that you used a similar release mechanism to the actual bomb
Cheers mate! Thanks for letting me use the animation!!
@@TomStantonEngineering Not a bother!
Watching from Brazil. In the time I heard Dambuster, immediately my sinapses led to @RealEngineering video in my memory haha!
Love the content you make! Keep it up!
@@RealEngineering what video is it from? I thought I watched all of your videos, but I cannot remember this one
Isgolo My dambusters video. It initially did not go out to many of my subs as it was demonetized.
Every British invention test is preceded by “alright chaps”
😂
Alright chaps
Who's up for a spot of tea.
Dean Robert
That or just
Pub?
Pub.
And then "oh cock"
pat your back
This is amazing guys! Amazing build and great flying James! top notch -Alex
Thanks Alex!!
Wow! There’s so many awesome you tubers in these comments
could not agree more. utterly spot on.
9:27 This was the most accurate flight: Cylindrical bomb, bounced correctly, then crashed.
lmao 🤣🤣
you are _100%_ correct man
4:19 Tom the engineer: “It’s got a lot of up.”
Hahaha that wasn't me ;)
You see that's why Tom is the actual engineer and I'm not haha
Lift:am i a joke to you?
@@TomStantonEngineering Sure "iT wAsN't yOu"
wow lol best comment
I love it when engineers say "about" followed by 3 significant digits haha
9:34 *It didn't make it home bois*
At least he completed his mission *RIP* :(
This is what I was looking for! lol.
When there's something strange ,with your local dam,who ya gonna call,dam busters
If ya lif near a damn and want to kill everyone in your neighboorhood and yourself ya sure call the damn busters🤣
lil green guy doodoodoodooodoodoo I ain’t afraid of no dam
Nice.
@Eric Harris read it like dam busters theme
agreed. 1000% accurate
sign me up on the next project, I'll bring my big airliner :D
I'm in
👀👀👀😬 that would be one heck of a collab!
Can’t wait
Lemme borrow your airliner, I’ve got a model of the twin towers.
This ones gonna be the best🔥🔥
I have the Dambusters film theme tune permanently playing in my head now. Loved it.
The BBC need to sign you up , your projects are tv gold and you explain everything with expert knowledge and enthusiasm, top job!
A little bit of paint and that could be a believable model for a film shoot.
lol dude fantastic
First time I didn't skip an advert in years.
I didn't know how much I needed an rc Lancaster in my life until now
The 'bomb' exploding at the end was genius . . . well done everyone! : )
IIRC, the spherical casing was omitted because it was noticed that when one of them disintegrated, the internal cylinder carried on. They tested with just the cylinder, and it worked better.
Not really. One issue with just using a Cylinder is that if the bomb is not dropped with the aircraft having its wings level, the bomb may hit the water with its long axis at an angle which will result in the bomb bouncing in an arc instead of a straight line. This did happen to the third bomb dropped on the Mohne by Micky Martin during the Dams Raid ,
@@richardvernon317 "Worked better" in that it worked at all...
@@No1sonuk The Spherical bomb did work better, they just didn't have time to develop it. The Cylindrical metal core was selected to allow the thing to be built in time to allow the RAF to attack the dams when they were full. Building 50 odd Spherical all metal Upkeep bombs were not possible in the time allowed, thus Wallis hoped that a wooden cylindrical barrel around the metal cylinder would be good enough. It wasn't The original solid prototypes dropped form the Wellington were Spherical. Highbsll for the Mosquito was Spherical. What a lot of people don't realise it how fast this thing was developed. Yes, Walils had been working on the theory and with models (including the early full sized air dropped prototypes) for about a year when the decision was made to actually build a full sized weapon to attack the dams within less than 3 months. The RAF's plan wasn't however just to use Upkeep against the Dam's in the May of 1943, they hoped to have Highball ready as well and do a daylight mosquito attack against the Tirpitz to boot in the same month! So Wallis was actually working on two new weapon designs concurrently. Highball failed to meet the deadline due to problems with the aircraft's release mechanisms and the fact that the bomb couldn't handle sea waves very well, so the pressure to develop that dropped off in the late April. There was also the fact that Guy Gibson not only had to form a new squadron and train it to do an operation totally left field of what anybody in Bomber Command's main force was doing at the time. He had to form and train with almost a completely new crew in his aircraft as well, as unlike the Film, only one of Gibson's crew from 106 Squadron went across to Scampton with him.
Interesting to note that Barnes Wallis tested many of his later designs using remote-controlled models, rather than risk the lives of real pilots. So this one was historic on a couple of levels. Nice work!
This is officially the most British thing I’ve seen in a long time...
If only they were drinking tea to keep warm
It is verry brittish to kill many civilians.
@@iloveamerica8541 so true!!!!
echt deutsch look at your name tho
@@biko9824
?
What has that to do with anything?
flying a homemade plane 5' off the water while standing a distance away...not an easy feat.
That pilot does deserve commendations for this mission
Bravo. I actually cheered out loud! It's great that you guys collaborate - and I bet Matt was fun to have around. Well done you three!
That video of the drop is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long while!
My dad was in the RAF for many years and a keen tinkerer/DIYer until his passing a few years ago, and I wish he was still here to watch you lads doing this. What an awesome experiment! The monochrome slow-mo at the end with the sound of the Rolls-Royce Merlins brought a lump to my throat. Thanks so much for sharing.
Churchill in heaven is like "Good job Chaps"
"Unsceduled disassembly" - Great quote!!
Loved this video and appreciate all the hard work. From memory the Lancaster had two spot lights on the wing tips pointed inward. When the plane got to the correct altitude the two spot beams would converge to form one point of light on the water. Incredible engineering and so simple at the same time.
That model lanc flew beautifully didn't it. Shame it met with such a sticky end but the slow Mo video of it looked spot on.
the splash seen on the high speed reaches the tail height, just like the real thing in testing
Came to the comments specifically for this observation.
Whoa, the reveal of who was behind the camera was a neat surprise
I didn't realise until the end too...
“Unscheduled disassembly” lol, get video and flying.
The pic with all 3 of you being just good fellas doing fun projects… I’m gonna cry it’s so cute.
Amazing you got a "3-Bounce", after only a couple of practice runs (and no previous Speed/Altitude calculations)! Way cool!
You and James should do more stuff together, his creations are impressive.
Epic. The last drop looked perfectly to scale. Even had the plume of water hitting the tail.
I heard the movie dambuster get lots of air times in the UK TV channels. I like the way the bomber airplane flew, great work.
8:55 This has to be the nicest shot ive ever seen absolutely gorgeous Tom,James and Matt
Awesome! I'm impressed how well this worked with such little testing!
Thanks Gavin!
A great project Tom, and I don't think it's a coincidence that "Stanton Whomsley" sounds like someone who would have been friends with Barnes Wallis. 🤣
Thanks for this video.
I first learned of the dam busters from a documentary I saw 30 years ago and have never forgotten how it impressed me.
Your video really captured and portrayed what I learned all of those years ago.
As always, great job!
Thank you Tom, for creating such high quality videoes that are both inspiring and educational!
It’s crazy how a whole bunch of random people have all watched the same UA-cam documentaries. I saw one about the dam busters several years ago.
same
The Dambusters are well known in the UK. Not really a niche thing
The Virtual Scotsman I’m sure it is but I’m an American. I was commenting more on how there’s a large population of young people who seem to have watched a bunch of the same documentaries.
Heck, I read about it, in a book, back in the 70s.
...ummm ...the YT algorithm :-/ ...perhaps not so "random" as you dreamed.
This was VERY entertaining. A good bunch of lads!
This whole project is so cool. The plane looked amazing, the barrel and release mechanism were on point and you just casually had Matt there for fun. Great video!
Wallis would be proud that you successfully recreated in miniature what he did in real size. We're all delighted at your efforts, super show chaps, top hole!
Nice! My grandfather built lancasters at A.V. Roe in Malton, Ontario, Canada
Did ol'granpappy help with the aero?
@@thegenerousdegenerate9395 I'm sure I would have heard about it if he had... He was proud that he found a method for assembling bulkheads for the lancaster that the company adopted.
Well my grandma drowned after a Damm was burst this way
@@peterzingler6221 I'm sorry to hear that. My sympathy.
@@peterzingler6221 sorry for your loss.
That's definitely one of the coolest video on UA-cam, and it reminded us what the british spirit really is.
Get youself a chop saw man. Super universal tool and cuts through everything with the proper blade.
guys this was epic , worth the time and work involved and the skill . thank you so much
7:00 Sounds like a real bomber with the engine noise and rattling
Nope
Awesome project again! Whenever you post a video I know I will see some cool innovative stuff. Thanks for all the effort!
My Dad flew B-24s in WWII and he would have loved watching this video. A British Lancaster flew into Geneseo, NY in an airshow in 1991. We saw her after arriving in "909" the B-17....
That was some FANTASTIC work. My wife and I were literally jumping up and down when it succeeded!!!!!!!
Watching this all again (saw it in the Patreon early version) just because it's SO good 😁
I just knew that I recognize this voice! Huh, Matt!
A nice tribute to the men who flew the mission in WWII, much bravery and skill required, many of the crews didn't make it back home sadly. We owe them much. Amazing similarity with the splash patterns of the scale "bomb" and the real thing, excellent job Tom.
Well done guys. Considering the physics and all other potential barriers that Wallace and 617 squadron had to overcome( the enemy not withstanding) it was such an incredible accomplishment and for you to recreate it with such style is fantastic. A brilliant way to bring history alive!!
Oh man, this is a cool historical plan recreated :)
What a beautiful shooting location, too. Probably one of the prettiest high-speed shots ever!
Thank you for revisiting a very complex engineering and skill testing exercise. The image of that “model” Lancaster skimming across the lake was just spot on. Well don and the legend lives on, even on our local lake! Never leave home without you gaffer tape!
Just want to say that I REALLY appreciate how you handle sponsorships. They’re relevant to your content, and you don’t just break away from your video when giving them. Keep it up!
"unscheduled disassembly"? Love it, great phrase"
Collaborate with Peter Sripol and make it actually blow up.
Probably won't happen since Tom chopped Peter's finger off
@@Havocx42 well he didnt really cut it off, just cut it.
Havocx42 what? have i missed out on something here?
Just wanted to say that as a little kid, being able to build, fly and test experiments like what you've done in this video were the things of dreams. Now that I'm "all grown up" and this kind of stuff has become a reality, I can't tell you how much joy this kind of content brings me. Especially considering I got my degree in History with a concentration in modern conflict, specifically the World Wars, this kind of stuff excites both the kid in me as well as my more academic/historical interests. Love your videos man, so thank you for the fun and consistently interesting and stimulating ideas that you test out and have fun with on your channel. Keep it up!
Great job guys! I love both of your channels, so great to see such a cool collaboration! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
"Unscheduled disassembly". I like it
I met Barnes Wallis several times, he was a governor of a college I attended in the mid 1960s.
Awesome!
Great fun scale day. It is close to scale in all the ways, experimental direction,execution of design working,and of course,the crashes.
Extremely well done. Thanks for putting in all the time and effort to make the video.
Awesome work, but i was watching it with a stone in my stomach. I grew up near the city (Neheim) where the Möhne joins into the Ruhr few km downstream of the Möhne-dam. So many civilians died that day. And there was a Prisoner of War Camp directly beside the rivers. I think they all drowned that day. There a still floodmarks in bronze on some buildings that didnt collapse in rememberance. My village is up on a hill and was safe, but my Grandpa always told me he remembers mostly the animals that fled uphill in panic that day. Horses completely in sweat and with foam in there mouths from their flight. War is a terrible thing. We should always remember that. Even if we can appreciate the engineering. It was still made for killing
So were the concentration camps. Not much pity here
RIP to those who died
@@hondosarge5181 We know, that british people are still obsessed with WW2. Let's build a RC V1 an simulate attacks at London. That's funny too, isn't it?
@@LRDROK I feel bad for the POW, the animals and the non-nazi citizens.
@@KALLER76 Nice virtue signalling, in war lives are always lost and there are always innocents that die. Let's face during that period a lot of people made some fucked up decisions, maybe next one there'll be less fuck ups but I doubt it. We are after all talking about humans.
project air finally got his high five :D
That was so freakin beautiful! Well done! Thanks for a massively good show!
This brought a tear of joy. Thanks guys!
Having recreated this when back in school we made the barrel out of wood work best for us. Just wish our drop mech work as well as yours did.
Great job lads.
LET'S BUST SOME DAMS YO
Enjoyed the "heck" out of the video! Thanks and happy thanksgiving!
Excellent work ! I'm pleased it all worked out, I too, would have been disappointed. Best weather.
09:20 "M Mother, are you OK?". Pause, then faintly, "I think so skipper ..." then silence followed by a Lancaster crashing into a hillside. RIP John Hopgood, DFC and Bar.
James got no business being that damn sexy
Brilliant! Always enjoy your videos. Being a retired helicopter engineer (Westlands) I can appreciate the design and engineering involved. Very clever 👍👍
That was great guise - well done & congratulations. ..You induced a smile on my face😃👌.
Have a great weekend & the best to all (& fam.)
You didn't mention one very important engineering aspect of Dambusters. As you mentioned the plane needed to fly very low, so low in fact that the standard altimeter was useless. So they needed to figure out the way to somehow control the altitude. They installed one lamp on each wing, projecting light to the ground (sort of like the bat signal). The lamps were positioned is such a way that at the right altitude beams of both lamps would meet at the same spot. Ingenious. Writing this from memory so please someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Amazing successful collaboration video and beautiful scenery!
Even the silhouette of a model Lancaster over the English countryside is enough to send a nostalgic shiver down your spine. Amazing video!
I LOVED THIS!!!! You young men are incredible..... Wonderful production, filming was 1st Rate and the tests were sooooo much fun to watch and how you calculated everything.
Bravo!!! Well done..
Great video, I'm amazed that you took so many unknown variables and tested so much kit for the first time all at once and it actually paid off!
Amazing Collab!!! Matt you are awesome!! As someone watching from UK I'm a fan of all of you! Thanks for doing this guy's feeling proud to be British 😊
I admire your tenacity and hands on problen solving. Well done.
In the Dambusters film, the bouncing bomb is ball shaped as information on it was kept secret after WW2, in case the bomb was needed to attack the Soviets, so nobody knew what shape it was.
1:46 that is partially true - spherical bombs were tested, but wood and metal rings were used to make the shape, but when the bomb hit the water the spherical shell broke off, however the cylindrical bomb gave Barnes the desired outcome, so the spherical bomb design was scrapped.
Really enjoyed watching this. Loved the realistic sound effects and mono film at the end. Well done guys.
That put a big smile on my face watching that! Well done guys!
Beautiful construction, flight control and demonstration...very cool!!
Amazing work. Absolutely fascinating.
That was awesome!!! Thank you for sharing that experiment, Tom. Perfect timing, I had just watched a dam buster/barrel bomb documentary a few months ago.
Awesome video! I loved the boat which brings back the barrels.
This is awesome! I was surfing around UA-cam looking for foam board RC builds, and ran across this! I evoked nostalgic memories of my teenage years reading Paul Brickhill's book - Dam Busters, borrowed and re-borrowed from the British Council library in Calcutta. Hey - you could arrange two daylight visible LEDs' pointing at the proper angle downward to maintain the precise altitude!
This is the first time I've seen a sponsor that was not only relevant to the channel, but also interested me. I might get it for my son.
awesome...BEST UA-cam video and project idea ...congratulations all involved.
great flying, James. pretty impressive.
Brilliant! Great effort gents!
Nice job Tom and James... refreshing to see some young blood flying RC. I'm the membership secretary for my local club and at 56 I'm probably in the bottom 20% of our membership from an age perspective!
