You and Heidi should be proud. You two did an incredible job restoring her. The flight demo was awesome Adam. Nothing like a Barnstormer. I sure wish I had snatched one up when it was available. Red Wing RC has some nice laser-cut kits of WW1 planes. I bought my Savage Bobber and Bushmaster from them. I need to pick up a WW1 plane from them. I love building in the winter. Thanks for sharing the S.E 5A with us.
Beautiful model. I wish Great Planes would come back with their amazing kits of models. I built a lot of their kits. Fun to build. All amazing flyers. We are in the ARF and Ready To Fly era. My hobby shop still sells a few SIG Kits which I love as well. EBay is where it’s at to acquire a lot of great kits. You did an amazing job of restoring that plane Adam. I love your channel, your amazing flying technique, and your vast wealth of knowledge. Take good care of that beauty you just flew. Please do more of these vintage models from all those great kits we all wish were still around. 👍👌
I love that you love the SE5A so much, Adam! You and Heidi did a fabulous job on the restoration of this model, too. From stock, it looked a bit lame in the photo you showed, but you've both taken it up more than another level. I really enjoyed watching this Team Model AV8R show ☺
Great flying as always and what an incredible job you two did restoring and scaling out this plane. Keeper for sure. Hope to see more "from the hanger" episodes. Really enjoyed it.
Cheater - You have a 'Heidi' on your team to help with museum quality painting and restoration work that is always outstanding! Great video! I enjoyed the history and flying very much . . . from the smooth, scale maneuvers that Albert Ball would have enjoyed watching again - down to the authentic early morning fog that provided such a spiritual setting. Right !
Love it.. Fantastic job on the refurbishment. I wish Horizon Hobby would bring back the SE5A and other WW1 aircraft ......., I'm sure there are plenty of flyers out there that feel the same way......
Great Video !! I slowed it down to 25 speed for takeoff and landing for an even more Scale Feel to the Flight. That is a Great Detail ; the Dawn Patrol Misty Takeoff !! You're the Best !! 🌿
Pretty cool. I remember building balsa and tissue paper models with my dad a little bit when I was really young. He did it as a kid in the 40s alot. Unfortunately, he had 9 brothers, so none of his planes lasted to become heirlooms. Apparently, it was a thing to set them on fire and pretend that they were shot down back then. Those crazy kids.
Such a beautiful flight display of a just as beautiful little semi-scale model! Thank you a lot! AWESOME job on restoring and improving it as well! These ElectriFly WW1 planes were all awesome, such a pity that theyre not available anymore. I have the Fokker Dr.1 myself - bought it over 10 years ago, started assembling it but wasn't happy with my own work on some details, and never moved on to finish it. recently I got it out again and decided to put some extra work in to change the finish (didn't want to build just another Red Baron plane) It ended up in A LOT of extra work, as I did not just redo the covering but changed the motor mount and firewall completely for a more realistic look, added a lot of scale details,especially to the machine guns and cockpit area and finished it as Lothar von Richthofens yellow painted Triplane. I also added a tiny little steerable tailwheel to lower the AoA on the ground and make it more controllable on takeoff and landing, as the Triplane is notorious for being tricky to handle in those situations. I'm incredibly happy with the end result and now I amlost enjoy looking at it even more then flying it. I mean it doesn't fly bad at all but it just looks that awesome :) I think all of these series planes have a lot of potential to be improved upon and make gorgeous looking semi scale models out of them. Now I'm trying to find the Fokker DVII as well, to give it the same treatment :)
i wish the ww1 warbirds were more popular with the big name companies... not many dawn patrol choices that i am aware of (fms, e-flight i am talking to you) ... i super enjoyed seeing this bird fly♥and flown by one of the best !!🙃
A treat it is to see yours, and outstanding video too! I still have mine with original prop, electronics, except rx, never been crashed. until it blew off the table about a month ago. At one point I had all the planes in the series except the Newport, but the SE-5 is the best flyer of the group. I have the DW SE-5 1650mm as well and it fly's amazingly well. Thanks for sharing yours with us.
Thanks so much Pappy. Very cool you have one. At one time my goal was to have them all. I kind of wish I didn't get rid of the others, but I have ti say...the DR1 was a pill to fly. I think it had an incidence issue. I agree the S.E.5a was the best, and the D7 was really good too.
@@ModelAV8RChannel Yep, the DR-1 I wound up making a battery tray under the motor to get CG closer, but it flew pretty good after that. Had it up until a couple of months ago it went to a friend at the club. I'm going to repair the SE-5 for sure!
Well done Adam. Really enjoyed hearing the history of this plane. (model and full scale). Thanks for sharing.. A bit disappointed.. I didn't see a low inverted or KE pass.. Hmmmmmmm.
Thanks Will! I really enjoy this kind of stuff. Inverted or KE pass...with a WWI plane? Blasphemy!! Lol. (That's what some commenters say when I do it with other stuff that apparently I shouldn't, LOL)
What a truly amazing video Adam.. I had NO IDEA about the history of that particular plane and also the 4 year span of WW1 for aviation. Incredible history and I see why you gravitated to those era of aircraft.. This truly is a labor of love for you.. I can tell.. I’m 66yo now and I’d consider myself wise enough to separate the Cream from the milk if you get my meaning.. I can believe how helpful you are and not only to Model AVR8ers but fellow YTers as well.. I don’t think I’ve seen or heard any of the other YTers mentioned something they learned off your channel, or you personally reaching out. Part of wishes we had some kind of Oscar nominations for this niche YT market.. but if ot were.. you’d be like 9 awards in! Not kidding.. Can’t wait to see what you up next in this series. Would it be a crazy idea to do some kind of WW1 warbird actual build VID? Like a Black Horse model.. I guess you could stick built.. but that’s a LOT of video hours to put together. Cheers to you and Heidi!
Thanks Rick! Wow, very kind words man. We'll keep the series going...we have some cool pieces. We did a build vid on an ARF (Savage Bobber) and man that took several days to film...so many hours. I don't think we have the time to tie the bench up long enough for a kit build right now, but maybe at some point.
@@ModelAV8RChannel Hey Adam, yeah totally hear you about the hours of bench time on a scratch built.. maybe a quality balsa WW1 ARF and try to convert it to as close to true scale as possible would be pretty cool to watch.
Very interesting Adam, I didn't know about the 20 years progress compressed into four fact, I guess the same could be said of the Second World War 🤔 I really enjoyed the history of your model but the flying stole the show 🫡👍
