1. Same here with Saito FG60 R3 in a maiden flight in Italy @9bsg

2. Is this a Cy model?

3. great channel. Nice that you include all the info on the models.

4. Schönes Modell
   ABER
   – Laut
   – Zu wenig Leistung
   – So wie es aussieht etwas Schwanzlastig
   UND
   – Ein Graupner Team – Outfit hilft nicht beim landen 🙂

5. *smile*

6. Ah I see, makes sense when you need a lot of channels. However I doubt an I phone would handle my foamy planes 😉 I can only just get away with having 6 channels and cleaver mixing.

7. This was an endurance test to see whether the aircraft was built strong enough (ړײ)

8. Ja, Christian. Nochmal Glück gehabt 🙂

9. Thank you Darryl for this great comment. I'll try to do a short compilation of that day (ツ)

10. The TX of Graupner MC24 / Futaba F28 (35 / 40 Mhz) and similar types were very common here in europe. They are easy to transform into the 2.4Ghz system. I also use such a "desk radio" because for me it's more confortable and relaxing on switching different options during flight. Foamy planes usually don't have more than 4 channels and therefore you can fly them even with an i-phone (ツ)

11. Das mit der Landung war doch nur ein Härtetest. Kike hatte alles voll im Griff … auch das Atmen (ツ)

12. It doesn't matter, I just notice that all these guys with large planes seem to have equally large Tx's. Makes my weird mind laugh a little 🙂

13. Thanks !!! What does it matter which size it has?

14. Many thanks Dick for your kind comment … much appreciated !

15. It's impressive how well some of these planes can take a rough landing!

16. Very nice plane 🙂
    Why does this guy have a TX the size of an office desk?

17. I think a little wee came out!!!

18. I love that sound, that is so kool……

19. Thank you Simon for your great comment.
    The kits of the P-47 1/5 scale are: the brown one made by "Werner Kranz" / the one shown on this video and the two #58 are made by "Modster".
    If you need more information, pls let me know. I'll try to get what you need (ړײ)

20. Danke, Achim für Deinen tollen Kommentar.
    Erstflüge sind immer auch eine Nervensache. Da steckt einfach viel Schweiß (und Geld) dahinter. Das kann nicht jeder so mir nix, dir nix ausblenden.
    Zum Glück blieben, bis auf ein paar Kratzer, alle Modelle unbeschädigt und konnten am gleichen Tag noch ein paar weitere Flüge machen.
    Viele Grüße, Horst

21. Thank you my friend for your kind comment !!!

22. Thanks Phil !!!

23. Yeah … There is definitely a magnet buried in the field.

24. This airfield is not for sissies. It's 160 m (175 yards) long and enough large even for the giant B-17.
    It could be that it looks a bit difficult to you, but you have to remember that these are maiden flights and the pilots did not know exactly the behavior of their airplane.

25. Thanks Mike. You're always welcome !!!
    Whether you believe it or not, my mouth was always dry. From the take-off to landing. You can not imagine how thirsty I was in the evening (ړײ)

26. Thank you Bob. They should change their name "Falcon Wings" into "Thunder Wings" (ツ)
    Only a few small scratches on the planes with about 50 flights on that day.
    I've still 4 maiden flights to upload … two of them are a bigger scale.

27. Kann mir gut vorstellen das da so mancher Pilot ins Schwitzen kommt. Schließlich
    steckt in diesen Modellen ja viel Arbeit und Geld.
    Selbst bei meiner Piper für ein paar Euro habe ich bei jedem Versuch ein Beklemmendes Gefühl 🙂
    Aber Letztendlich habe ich auch Mittlerweile gute Kenntnisse im
    Zusammenflicken 🙂

    Klasse Flug!

28. Nice.

29. There seems to be a strange power in that right hand corner of the field.

30. Heavy metal and your flying site don't match. Your runway is too short and narrow.

31. Another great Vid,love the big sigh by the pilot,shaking those nerves out good catch on that makes it feel like were there.

    Thanks again Horst.
