Nice to see someone actually "building" - the old skills are not lost yet!! Great video!! 😊👍

I really like the way these models slot together!

such a precision well made kit. love the video

@trustenbaker8766 3 года назад

This has been know a long time obviously. But I love absolutely LOVE that if you want to know how to build ANYTHING, someone has done it on RU-vid lol Great video, I'm going to get one and build it. Also I want to acknowledge the time it takes to first do this, then to film it and do that WELL to! It's a lot of work, good job.

@BelperFlyer 3 года назад

Looks to be a very well thought out CNC kit that goes together very easily. I think your tip about building on a non-glueable surface should be stressed a bit more . You don't want people having to fly the work bench :) I use cling film usually but Oracover backing works, too. Rather than threading the servo lead through the ribs before covering it's better to make a paper tube so that the servo leads can be removed and replaced if a servo needs to be replaced - eg if the gears strip on a belly landing. I'm certainly tempted it looks great.

Hey James well done. Can you recommend what size glow motor you would put in this as electric is too quiet for me.

@kardRatzinger 4 года назад

An 061 to 09 would be good for this. A strong 049 might just about pull it as well, if you build the plane lightly.

@hesseldijkstra5327 2 года назад

Interesting I build one 60 years ago also from balsa wood, I had to wind up the propeller which was driven by elastic. Never attempted to fly it. Too scared to damage it.

@TornadoCAN99 2 года назад

I built the Guillows kit in the 1970's...balsa and silkspan covering with Testers fuel-proof dope paint. Made it as a control liner with an 049 Cox engine. Crashed it to bits first try (my friend didn't give it a decent hand launch!).

I need fixed landing gear. Is there a landing gear option? What is included in the extra detail pack?

@vintagemodelco7936 3 года назад

The detail pack is now included as standard and includes the radiator, oil scoop, exhausts etc. You might be able to figure out a way to add landing gear as it's super customisable!

@keithwhisman 2 года назад

Always build on wax paper directly over the plans so everything is perfectly aligned to the plans to prevent warps and out of true components. Wax paper prevents the glued parts from sticking to the plans and the build surface.Another thing use a large piece of insulation foam and T-Pins to pin the parts to the plans to keep everything aligned. I think you would’ve found it easier to build had you done a little more research on how to build RC balsa airplanes instead of just assuming as you obviously did. Building balsa models is pretty much a dead hobby these days but back in the 1980s and early 1990’s I built a lot of large scale rc kits. Good luck and I hope balsa kits come back.

@andrewmather1354 3 года назад

Great model James, well done! Is a lancaster using these same methods going to be on the build board soon? 🤣

@antonis476 2 года назад

great model but a little bit boxy compared to the original spitfire, would love to see a more realistic model, for the more advanced modellers

@keithwhisman 2 года назад

Just sand the turtle deck and engine cowling round and sheet with thin balsa sheet then cover with your choice of iron on covering or paper and dope.

Hey James, I have one complaint! The Website does not say what kind of servos, ESC, and Motor is included. I am thinking about getting some sort of model from the VMC since I sold one of my Vintage gliders for a good price.

Love building this plane and this video is great. However, I would like to ask that you take a little more time to explain how to install the motor please. I am a beginner and have been trying to scour the web for the installation of the motor but in this video that wasn’t really explained.

Wonderful design. Extreamly expensive. All flat stock laser cut no special balsa shapes or prefab parts. What gives? Does it fly better? I can't get my head around the the cost. there are plenty of chioces out there, this wont be on the list. Good Video on a non-do-able product. beyond reason.

audio seems to be an issue on all their vids. Its unfortunate because everything else is great in the vids.

Levels are one thing, but the noise gate is horrible here. The attack is waaay too slow. Almost makes this unwatchable.

Ребята! Вы не моделисты! Вы даже в терминологии путаетесь. Вы- "хоббисты"! Чтобы называться моделистами, прочитайте книги Сироткина, Тарадеева, Гаевского, Жидкова и до.
