Such a beautiful authentic looking plane. Love the metal, the minor details and the weathering effects. Love the smoke, some of those camera shots with the sky in the background are good enough to be put in a movie!
What an awesome spity I love the size, smoke, realistic fully functional exhaust headers and the weathering is awesome hopefully this guy wins some prizes for having a model that looks so realistic. Thanks again for taking the time to get video and stills of this and every other plane you have filmed. Regards, Pete. Keep up the good work tbobborap.
Actually, the DLE 170cc engine sounds pretty good, and gives very good performance for such a big 1/3-scale Spitfire. Realistic flight speed and beautiful performance. The DLE 170 cc costs $1,000 USD and puts out 17.5 hp weighing 4 kg. An equivalent 4-stroke realistic-sounding Kolm engine IL230-V4 with 3 cylinders costs $6,000 USD , weighing 8 kg and puts out much less power due to it being a 4 stroke engine and turning only 6,000 rpm, while the DLE turns up to 9,000 rpm. The DLE-170cc engine has power-to-weight ratio of a turboprop engine while being very cheap to own and operate, and has very little vibration due to the horizontal-oppose 2-cylinder configuration.
Beautiful plane. Too many RC warbirds look like they just came off the shop floor. This Spitfire looks real. The smoke is cool, but a little bit goes a long way....
Hello! My friend!!! I am glad!!! To see you and your gorgeous plane!!!! My friend !!!! Breathtaking flights!!!! And soft landings! Clear sky!!! Твой друг Вадим!
Gorgeous model, and flown so very well, too! Clearly the ol' Merlin is getting a bit tired, though; I think a new set of piston rings is required!! Thanks Pete......cheers, Dougal
Very good. You know that the RR Merlins had three sets of piston rings, while the Packard 266 Merlin had two? That sometimes caused them to seize because of poor lubrication?
@@AlbanianGladiator not a better engine but a better designed exhaust that filters the high frequencies of the 2 stroke. There are many examples of such systems on youtube where 2 strokes sound much better.
Lovely aircraft, I suppose the more is OK, it looks like one that has been in the battle with the Hun. I really admire the time and effort put in by these enthusiasts not to mention the expense.
I dont know what else to add for outstanding model, performance and flying.........unreal job. The other comments just said it all. Just a little dig...that pilot didnt have a regulation haircut!😃 Additionally how do they produce the smoke? Is it a oil reserve tank injecting oil in to the cylinders? Boy what a treat to watch this beauty. Fying with such grace in the air. Thanks again for sharing with all of us tbobborap1
Many thanks scott, yes eric put on a great display for sure, there is a separate tank full of specially designed environmentally safe smoke fluid (by law) and yes it is pumped but not directly into the cylinder as this would smother the engine power, rather it is pumped into the hot exhaust manifold and vaporizes instantly, also you can get different fragrances of smoke inc bubble gum or strawberry or peppermint or more flavors - i kid you not, thanks for supporting our channel over time scott, regards pete,
A fantastic model! and an excellent flying display, but why put out great clouds of smoke? It completely ruins the display, apart from putting hideous stains up the sides od the aircraft.
You are completely right! If real Spitfire had smoked like that, than it would be very useless and unsuccessful fighter. Man, put that smoke away and it is great! Or put less smoke to proper place where it comes from.
We read the description - we just think that it takes away from the graceful lines of the Spitfire to have it constantly flying in a cloud of smoke. During aerobatics and maneuvers - yes, but basically takeoff til touchdown - it's overkill. Very nice plane though and nice flying.
Why so many internet Jack-wagons who feel it necessary to tell other people how to make their models/videos? Maybe they should make/fly their own models and edit their own videos as they see fit.
fantsatic model and display. I watched a fair few today and this is the first that made me smile, it just had something else... and I don't mean the smoke.
Beautiful. And so refreshing to see large ic engine being flicked over using safety glove to protect hands, a lot of our younger generation and up and coming young pilots watch these vids?.
Lovely model with really nice detail. Having built lesser models, I can vouch for the time, effort and skill that goes in. I could never get to grips with RC flying and sadly had to move on. Great to see the esperts. :)
@Eric Reboul--Oui, d'accord, monsieur. The DLE 170 cc costs $1,000 USD and puts out 17.5 hp weighing 4 kg. An equivalent 4-stroke realistic-sounding Kolm engine IL230-V4 with 3 cylinders costs $6,000 , weighing 8 kg and puts out much less power due to it being a 4 stroke engine and turning only 6,000 rpm, while the DLE turns up to 9,000 rpm. Actually, the DLE 170 sounds pretty good, and gives very good performance for such a big 1/3-scale Spitfire. Realistic flight speed and beautiful performance.
Very nice, defo needs a 4 bladed prop though. I'm guessing that the heavy weathering on the fuselage sides is a result of all that smoke rather than being painted on?
Nice model and control, but I've never seen a Spitfire so heavily weathered!! I'm sure for the real thing, the RAF had specs to ensure that the squadron codes, lettering and serial number remained legible? Also too much use of smoke - the Spit got hit by flak in the engine on its take-off run!! Far better - and more realistic - to have activated the smoke on it's last circuit and then brought it in to land with a "damaged" engine?
Wow! What an amazing Spitty! Awesome job on both cameras! The still shots look very calendar worthy! Thumbs, plumbs, bums and all that lot. Have to get back to "tending"the flock! Cheers, Big G.
thanks m8, take a look at her crashing on deanos fbook - i put a short film on of her doing a mexican wave - and it survived ! - now wheres that damn shepherds dog ?
LMAO. Not about the crash but, well you know... I saw the crash on Deano's FB page and gave it one of those ridiculous little stupid emoji faces. Glad to hear the Spitty will be okay. As for the frickin dog, well, he's having himself a nap. It seems he's taken a damn fancy to the sheep too!
This aircraft looks too good to be true and it was expertly flown at realistic speeds. I love the beaten up worn look, it looks like it has seen some service. Because it so good (perfect?) the engine sound and two bladed prop are the centre of attention...
+Team Hansen Honda G'day, I agree, a beautiful model, fully fucked up by a foolish fetish for fuming furiously...; it looks like it has an Oil-Fire, or a Glycol-Leak which goes on, for far too long. If one were filming a Movie of the Air-War over France in late 1945 , with Models, then this would be absolutey perfect for staging all the scenes of Spitfires crashing in flames...; but for Display-Flying it looks horrible, a visual anomaly.., an Aerobatic Engine-Fire.. (yuck !). It's great for visualusing the Airflow over, and the Downwash behind, the Wing's Aerofoil Section..; so, all the Fans of Henri Coanda (pardon that pun !) will no doubt be thrilled... *If* a Spitfire really really *must* be retrofitted to fart a controllable Smoketrail, then surely it's hot (insulated) Engine-Exhaust could've been plumbed internally to release the Vapour-trail from the underside of the Fuselage, in a single plume - rather than the alternating "Puff...Puff...Puff...Puff..." stacato alternating effect, which this example displays from it's 1-into-6-Pipe Dummy-Stacks on either side ; it's the dissipation of the point of emergence which fouls the look of the thing... In my humble pontification, anyway... ;-p Ciao !
Top job Eric. A nice scale-sized 3 or 4 blade propeller would complete the illusion. Well done.
Awesome Spit, the smoke is too much. Looks like he got shot down. Great flying thoug!
Outstanding Spitfire. Fantastic flying from the Frenchman!
Well captured with the camera. *Thumps Up!*
many thanks horst and hello from sunny uk - pete,

Thank you very much ben !
Great pilot😮 Especially with all that exhaust smoke in his face!
lol
If it had a Merlin engine sound, you could almost believe it was a REAL Spitfire although the landing gear looks a little short. Top job, Eric.
What an awesome spity I love the size, smoke, realistic fully functional exhaust headers and the weathering is awesome hopefully this guy wins some prizes for having a model that looks so realistic.

stunning Spitfire...stunning flying Display thank you.
😆👍👍
The plane is beautiful and deserves a better engine.
That plane rreally needs better engine
Steven wdym? Spitfires are known for the smoke they produce
@@AlbanianGladiator not a better engine but a better designed exhaust that filters the high frequencies of the 2 stroke. There are many examples of such systems on youtube where 2 strokes sound much better.
500cc Honda CR500 engine would be bonkers.
@@vladimirvladimirovichputin1352 since when? If a Merlin or Griffon smoked like that after startup/warmup, it would be shut down.
Magnificent Spitfire ! Beautiful landing .
Lovely aircraft, I suppose the more is OK, it looks like one that has been in the battle with the Hun. I really admire the time and effort put in by these enthusiasts not to mention the expense.
This is R/C to the extrem,great job and one of the best I've seen.
That was some very smooth flying, with a well built aircraft, well done
Very realistic looking plane,beautiful job
Would have looked 99% better without the smoke...
And the civilian pilot.
Have to agree, scale is about scale of the type. Looked odd wth smoke,
Looks like it just came out of combat with a 109.
SMOKE??? What smoke??? :D
I agree
Impresionante maqueta! ! y el piloto de primera. Gran vídeo.
Beautiful build and great flying!
No words🌟
thanks

Great model of the world's most beautiful and iconic plane.
thanks gene
Gorgeous, impeccable weathering, just needs a 3 Blade prop and fully outfitted pilot with goggles and all.
Cher Monsieur Eric ,very, very realistic ... I feel construction effort and pilot skills ... Merci beaucoup.
thanks josip
Thanks
Beautiful Spitfire, great stills and video work !
thanks ian
Great airplane and nice video !! Take in 603 looks like a real spitfire. Thanks for the video
that mower engine and the two short blade propeller goes great with such a fabulous WW2 figther.

Amazing how such a tiny propeller with only two blades can be so efficient .

fantastic man,super model nice.
That’s one smoky plane
Stunning model,love the weathering
thanks richard Glad you liked it
@@tbobborap1 keep the smoke, it loos good and different. Never seen a plane with it. Can u add oil, make black smoke?
Eric bravo le vol et la présentation au pays du Spitfire
Je vous salue tous les deux
beautifull aircraft not gonna lie :)
That is simply gorgeous
Stunning aircraft model, why spoil the effect of it with smoke?
This model is to beautifull to fly with a lawnmotor !
Use a moki motor and find a 4 blade prop ! Then it is a spitfire
Oui, vous avez raison. J'aimerais beaucoup, cela est une question d'argent....j’accepte tous les sponsorts

To build a 2-stroke engine in such a model is a SIN !!!
Cool plane the spits are the most beautiful !! Very skilled pilot too !!
Thanks a lot!
Thats just awsome!!
Magnificent aircraft , she truly is a Spitfire just miniature . having been an R/Cer. I Salute this modeler.
merci pour ces images
3:24 brutal sound
Stunning....so much skill of the builder.....sorry dont like the smoke.
Amazing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice, defo needs a 4 bladed prop though. I'm guessing that the heavy weathering on the fuselage sides is a result of all that smoke rather than being painted on?
Still better than fake painted unrealistic wheatering to me...

That´s no weathering but the oil of the 2-stroke engine 😏😏😖😖😖
I really wanna one like the guys in the video it would be good for WW2 Reinactment
Excellent affichage bien fait
Agree about smoke! your choice .Can this acft be fitted with 4 bladed prop??
stunning aircraft great video
thanks
Great control fabulous display*
thanks john
Simply Beautiful..
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful Spitfire, it needs a scale pilot though :-)
Nice! Don't the haters discourage you, that is a great model!
thanks ira - a common sense comment at last,
fantastic warbird. Why the smoke the whole flight?
Wow! What an amazing Spitty! Awesome job on both cameras! The still shots look very calendar worthy! Thumbs, plumbs, bums and all that lot. Have to get back to "tending"the flock! Cheers, Big G.

Excellently !!!
love those flying shoes????????????
And the dodgy spinner. Can't help thinking the ground crew would have cleaned up a bit. Nice big spitfire .
あ、書き忘れたんですけど、飛行中の操縦技術（flight technique）もほぼ完璧（perfect）ですよね。もしかして大戦中スピットファイアでBF109とかを落としていた経験があるんじゃないかと思ったくらいです。でも年齢的にあり得ないですよね。
Everyone is complaining about the smoke but I think it adds a good effect awesome plane doesn’t need a thing to change, perfect!
Taking the fight to the Jerry’s!

Beautiful, and TOUGH.
That is so cool, an onboard camera would be super

Perhaps change the chip fat fuel for something that allows one to see the aircraft!
Haha!! Fair one
Thought it was for effect at first. Gives the impression the engine is running too rich.
Too rich !...it looks like its on FIRE. Beautiful finished aircraft, no smoke needed.
