1. A great video and flight, best I have seen for a while. And a really interesting model, flying well albeit tail heavy and stalling, it was still flying "on the wing". I bet the real one was tail heavy as well (!). Have you tried adding a gyro stabilizer on elevator (switchable)? I added a cheap stabizer gyro on the rudder of a small biplane that had an impossible ground loop problem – and that worked perfectly.

2. Very nice! Not the easiest plane to fly ! Well-done ! Challenge Achieved! Hell of a build!

3. ??????? ?

4. this channel is going to hit now

5. Craftsmanship taken to the extreme.

6. Whenever I come to europe I would love to come and watch this

7. Legit question, can't anything fly given enough thrust force? So how would the original even have been able to fly with out a strong enough motor engine.

8. Very beautiful build!

9. One of my favourites. Where did you get the 3-view? This aircraft was built under license here in Denmark, and I went to the national archives to look for the drawings, but they only had a drawing of the wing profile and a spar, or something. I also tried the archives in Paris, but all they had was a telephone number, and my french was not good enough to explain to them what I wanted.

10. Bravo! Superb build!

11. Very nice vedeo like ?♥️?

12. ?

13. I’ll never understand what the point of that ridiculous keyboard remote is. Get yourself a Futaba 32MZ… it’ll work just fine. And you won’t look like a complete idiot.

14. An unusual model, including for me in France where it come from, very cool to see it. The pilot is clearly not familiar with the slow smooooth flight it need, and probably need a bit of break-in, but it's a very very cool subject to follow !

15. I have read where early passenger plane pilots were unwilling to sit inside of planes, preferred open cockpits.

16. I think we all agree that it is quite tail heavy, scary tail heavy. Pulling up without adding throttle is a recipe for disaster. That much said, we are all very happy that you got it down in one piece. Fabulous craftsmanship on a very rare subject. Well done.

17. That looked a right handful on take off, at around 1’30” it looked very much like the starboard wing was warped. Could that have been the reason for the handling?

18. Geeeesh! ?. I think I’d fly it once, and if it survived that, it would hang for the rest of its days from the ceiling on display.

19. Great plane and nice sound. Top video Horst ?

20. Nicely done, so many experts commenting! Great job !

21. What an ugly flying thing. Great

22. Nice to see "unusual" types being built and flow, I would think that any passengers on a flight like this would be very unwell, although the landing was good, many thanks for posting this one Horste, we have not seen anything from you for some time! Chris B.

23. Looks/Looked like it has a serious CG issue, or the pilot is learning? That elevator is going to get him in trouble.

24. lovely bird

25. The "engine" sound is perfect. Tim Hooper, Englishman, built a 3 engined version back in 2005, here is a link to the verrrry long and fun build thread on RC Groups:

26. Impressive. Just one battery for each pair of motors?

27. Excellent
