Giant RC Starfighter F-104 Flown By Ali Machinchy 

Beautiful model! It amazes me that the F104 can fly at all with those stubby little wings.

My Lord the pilot is a fantastic Ace flyer, and the Plane is just gorgeous ! The sound gives me goosebumps !

If you didn't see the intro you would think it was a real life jet, even sounds full-size😮

Outstanding. The photography, flying and the model are second to none.

I have always loved the lines of the Starfighter. Such a futuristic looking design when it debuted.

Such an accurate vehicle and the pilot's control is astonishing! Thankyou for sharing with us.

Spectacular. As so many usually say - how it flies with so little wing area is amazing. Very expertly piloted and making full use of that 550 motor... low passes really nice. Landing - perfect. :)

Astounding! Simple astounding! Both the pilot and the plane! I am in awe!

Gorgeous HUGE airplane, the F-104 is my all-time favorite fighter-jet, such a thrill and a beauty to see!

WOW!!!!! WHAT great camera work ...terrific display. What a model...well done team HORIZON!!!.😊👍

This is THE pilot. Knows what we want to see. This is an entertainer. Great plane.

An outstanding display! And videoed as only you can Horst, very many thanks for posting this one! Chris B.

Machinchy is one of the smoothest grandmaster RC pilots to ever grace this hobby.

Wouah, amazing ! 👍 Thank for your work cam Horst.

Absolutely awesome model and flight demo!Sincere congrats and cheers from France!

Well, “spectacular” just doesn’t seem enough to describe the aircraft and the pilot skills!

Absolutely beautiful…the a/c and Ali’s flying abilities…👍👍👍

Stunning jet. Masterful piloting. 👌

Really great to see the F-104 RC in the tipless configuration. On the down side - the rel airplane has a -5° angle sitting on the ground - this otherwise fine model seems to have more lige a +5° and probably not possible but I'd love to a landing using a drag chute in an RC version

Wow. This not only looks but even sounds real.

🚀 superb

That's huge, at that scale you should just build the full size 😮😅

That taxi looks so real. Wow, just wow.

it was a epic weekend, thanks for the video! ❤

A absolute majestic flight...! As though you owned the sky it's self... Cheers to you and a beautiful plane...

The United States F-104 aircraft is absolutely the coolest jet aircraft that the United States produced. I love it. I loved it as a child watching it, in a lot of sci-fi movies I've never seen one up close and in person but man that is just one beautiful rocket ship.

Excellent!

Amazing model and flying skills 👍

Fastest plane at sea lvl..988.26 MPH in 1977. Leading edges were so sharp they had to put covers on them to prevent hanger rash.😊

So cool, I like RC jet models with a large scale

The F-104 was hard to fly but boy was it fast. Coolest fighter ever, and this model is incredible.

Simply Stunning !

I want to make a air world f-104 someday😊 get Ali to do the maiden too😊

fantastic landing I have ever seen

Nothing short of amazing! Beautiful plain, amazingly skilled pilot great video work, what's not to like?

Wow !!!! what an amazing machine .Ali you are the best.

Superb demonstration. Man it was hard to see those wings during the head on moments!

Beautiful landing at 5:06 👏👏👏👏

What a beautiful flight! Amazing!

Amazing jet

Amazing flight!

*Let the Sunshine In...*

The plane is great, but the pilot is Fantastic! Smooth and very scale moves.

You guys ar the greastest may i slaute you for keeping these old war birds a live❤

Bravo to that pilot ! That design almost seems more “lift worthy” flying inverted.

Really cool replica of one of my all time favorites How about a replica of a B-58 Hustler and of course, we can't forget the B-1 ''The Bone''

Klasse Modéll 👍

Damn, even has the sound. That model must of cost thousands.

Wow !!!

Beautyful plane

Полёт очень реалистичный, пилоту за управление-респект!!

Wow outstanding no words to say but congratulations fine job 💯👏🇺🇸👍

Great airplane!one of the fastest interceptors of its time.

Amazing plane👍👍👍…still my favorite jet, but I’m not neutral as an former F104G mechanic back in the German AF. This Norwegian color scheme is just perfect 😍

Well done.

Nice shot at 5:30. It looks like a full scale F-104.

Wow. Amazing plane. Amazing pilot. Such tiny wings. Looks like a lawn dart when diving😂

Mega 👍

Awesome plane and great flying. Also, @RCScaleAirplanes, really good camera work. What camera gear are you using? The video quality and stability are really great

NO WAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!! WOW!!!

Wow! sound just like the real F-104, and Ali is a great pilot too

Perfektes Video Horst! Alleine die Startphase bei 0:42, eine 1/1 Scene aus dem Film "The Right Stuff", als Chuck Yeager mit der F104 abhebt & im Abflug von der Bahn das Fahrwerk einzieht - MEGA! Ganz großes Lob an Minute 05:30, perfekter Winkel um den Startfighter wie eine manntragende Maschine aussehen zu lassen! Alle Daumen hoch mein Freund! PS: Kleine Randnotiz & nur meine persönliche Meinung. Finde es nur ich nervig, dass die lästige Drohe jede perfekte Foto-, Film- & Tonaufnahme zerstört, indem sie kreischend durch die Linse saust?

05:09 did that mini drone clip the tail of the jet?? Looked bloody close lol

That pilot must be dizzy after these manouvres! 😉The way things are going, wont be long before 1:1 scale RC are on youtube. F104, One of my top five all time favourite jet aircraft. along with B52, F14, F4 Phantom and SR71.

Los alemanes tienen esos juguetes para diversión. No quiero pensar si hubiesen ganado la guerra. 🐜

I would think it would be picked up by radar and intercepted by the Air National Guard.

❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢

This RC widow maker needs more wing loading to be true to scale...

What are those markings?

Fastest pencil in the world

freeze the video at 3:05 and tell me what you see !

Bagus ❤

Do you guys have any 3d printed planes?

These jets is what Ukraine needs!

Many pilots lost their life in that plane...

Jaja der sogenannte Witwenmacher🤔

Missile with a man in it

Very unstable aircraft design, we use 2 call them lawn darts in the af...

Is it just me or does the power to weight ratio seem off the charts, compared to the real life jet?

🫡thank you its fantastics!

Bellissimo. Lo. Spillone
