1. Bravo for letting us see what the real aircraft would fly like. The huge up-thrust of the engine pod was to get the aircraft unstuck from the water. It also is a bear to trim out in flight and a real struggle for landing. The pilots were in a windy place right between the propellers. Still the original flew alright but it just had to go in a straight line and had lots of water for the eventual landing.

2. Bravo, what a beautiful model, as close to seeing the real thing fly as we’ll ever get

3. what a amazing jet ,looking different

4. Capolavoro ???

5. Damn thats a cool unique build.Love it

7. bellissimo modello complimenti per il costruttore e pilota

8. That's an awesome beast! Real 'Porco Rosso' kinda stuff!

9. I love these guys who make such excellent models of deeply obscure airplanes. Fantastic.

10. absolutely superb!! there are a number of reasons this design is a challenge to model and fly. all of which make this pilot and aircraft awesome! just kick the haters to the curb. great vid!

11. Magnificent plane!!

12. Ein wahnsinns Gerät, im ersten Moment denkt man der hebt gar nicht ab. Sehr gut!

13. Fantastic job flying a real handful!!! What a project!! Beautiful job!!!! Nice flying!!!!

14. Great plane!

15. Awesome model… and well flown also

16. Looks like a mixture of slightly tail heavy and the shear amount of thrust/airflow over the elevator…. because of that thrust angle pointing directly at the horizontal stab…they ideally should be near parallel..power ON/OFF will create huge oscillating effect on that tail..

17. Excellent video and awesome model. Looks like it is a hand full to fly. I appreciate them flying and sharing such an interesting plane.

18. A fantastic model of a fantastic plane. I want to see it on water, please?

20. WOW what a fantastic plane.. Great flying. Thanks for sharing.. 🙂

21. Wow, fantastic model, and good pilot, GREAT!

22. A beautiful build!!!

23. Big RESPECT for Project/Building/Flying and Filming this very special Machine !!! AWESOME – Thank you very much for all your works !!! Happy landings alltime !!! Hats off and greetings ! Frank ( Germany )

24. Is it tail heavy or is this his first airplane?

25. Never seen that aircraft, what a beauty! With the mountains in the background as it flew by………it looks outstanding. Looks like a challange to fly, but the more you fly the better it gets. Thanks

26. What an amazing build. Does look a bit twitchy as though balance maybe not ideal – does also sound as though wind might have been an issue – still a very impressive flight. Probably a relief to be safely back on the ground 🙂

27. Nice scale model! Nice video!

28. ????

29. Like usually, good workmanship skills, poor piloting skills.

30. Thank you for the nice video! Awesome designe! And it can to landing 🙂

31. Eccezionale, una stretta al cuore pensando a Balbo ed ai caduti nella trasvolata.

32. Все отлично. А вот посадка…. На воде пробовали ?

33. Cool plane.

34. Why do obvious non-modelers/non-flyers feel the need to criticize. This model is a detailed, large, and complex model of a rather unique 1920's design. Getting this model to fly as well as it did is a great achievement. Stage fright and gusty conditions make demonstrations  like this difficult and nerve wracking for the pilot. Build a beautiful scale model and fly it in a scale-like manner, put a video on You Tube that is enjoyable to watch and read comments.

35. Next video needs to be it taking off from water!

36. Great video! Looks like it’s a little tail heavy.

37. Beautiful plane but it is sure a handful to fly. Too much work, too little fun.

38. First time for me I watch a lot of RC air shows and RC airplanes they even have a j-3 cub with big old tires on it and reminds me of the Flying Cowboys yeah they have RC cub out there

39. I haven't seen a airplane like this before on RCs
