1. Horst, this is a magnificent model, once it is in the air, you cannot tell that it is in fact a model. Great video, cheers! Dougal

2. As always, I appreciated the excellent video! The model is very nice and flown in a scale way. Thanks for posting!

3. It is so peaceful and calming to watch this fly. Thank you for sharing.

5. Wauw 😀 I'm glad you featured this plane (Henk lives or lived in the town I grew up in)
   Is that a gorgeous model or what? 😀

6. nice scale rendition, thanks for sharing……

7. screw rc just get in the thing

8. Awesome!👍
   But it seems to be a filigree plane which requires smooth landings

14. Hi Horst,

    Perfect report of the flight and excellent video!!

    The engine is a 14 Hp Briggs and Stratton Lawnmower but adapted for this plane by decresing the cranckshafthousing…new castings such as the front cover, incorperating ball bearings, electronic ignition, etc. Runs at 150 rpm static and at max 2600 full throttle.

    It took two years of allmost full time building to complete it and it flew first mid 2012.

15. Top 🙂

16. As much as I enjoy high-speed, low-level flybys, this was a wonderful departure. Lovely model. Thank you for sharing.

29. I can’t tell it from the real thing and expected the pilot to wave as he passed

30. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfG1POXVSb8 ( 12:14 ) полёт потерялся, но он летал ( 6:05 7:15)

31. Magnífic. I can't describe this. Thank for the old things that made it happen thanks

32. My brother is the new pilot from the plane. And God Video 👍🏻

33. 2:06–2:10/Only motor, no audience chatter, superb! Merry Christmas.

34. Looks like a Briggs & Stratton engine.

35. Very nice model, Fantastic build and great flying!

36. A very atmospheric scale aircraft… Shame about the endless chatter in the background, the engine sounds wonderful *

37. I never noticed any ailerons, so I assume it had wing warping just like the original. Outstanding aeroplane.

38. Almost makes one envious. Dig that sweater. Bless you, and many miles✝️

39. So buoyant for its size
