Mr Ron Maidens this Massive Stuka at 82 years old, he built it when he was 79..Don't miss the end!!! 

Not only a hell of a builder but a hell of a flyer

Just goes to show what a great hobby this is. Even at 82, a guy can build a great airplane and fly it like an ace. God bless him.

Even the little pilot in the plane was excited to take it to the skies. You can see him shaking impatiently in the cockpit.😂

If you fly like you dance, it's gonna be a wild ride. Beautiful plane sir!

Wonderful, nerves of steel on his maiden flight and perfect landing. My dad is 82 and still building models, it's a great hobby.

Beautiful plane, impressive flight! You are an ace! Cheers from Germany 🇩🇪! 🙏💯👍

Wonderful to see the glee in the builders face. What a brilliant project to build and great flying control

Success! 82 and still got a strong heart!

Beautiful plane, beautiful build, beautiful take off, AWESOME maiden and a beautiful landing. I really enjoyed watching you fly that beauty

His Dance at the end made my Day!

I'm so glad I was there to witness this and the pure joy Mr Ron had after this flight! It was something to see! Way to go Mr Ron!🎉

My respects to Ron, the builder of this beautiful model. Greetings from Mexico.

Age is only a number😉 This guy is awesome and I hope he has many more years❤

Here from the UK Well done , Absolutely Fantastic and what a Pilot ,ACE

Hi ron. Iam from Ireland 🇮🇪. And that was something else. Well done fantastic! ❤

Brilliant maiden Mr Ron. You inspire us all. What a beautiful landing too. Congratulations 😊

THE end of the video is worth gold.

Ein wundervolles original nachgebautes Modell , ein herrlicher start , sauber geflogen und dazu noch eine Butter weiche Landung , was will das Modellflieger Herzchen mehr ??? Vielen Dank für die einfach wundervollen Bilder , bitte weiter so❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Love the way the pilot shudders from the engine revving.... Well done, sir, very well done. This is so much better than the electric engines...love the sound.

Today I learned that even at 82, model airplanes still make you feel like you're 10! Fantastic plane and smoooooth landing!

Please more Videos from Mr. Ron and his joy

A guy at our field built a TBM Avenger. He's rigged a bomb release that drops a balloon with 4 heaping tablespoons of flour in it that makes a satisfying white splatter when it hits. He has a RC tank that his grandson drives around and he tries to hit it. Too much fun!

Sir . That is the best looking , sounding , flying , landing bad ass plane , I ever saw ! Aces all the way !

Outsanding Sir......wow, great talent. Thanks for sharing. God Bless ya

I pray that when I am 82 I am still flying my RC planes. It is the greatest hobby in the world! Been flying for 41 years and I hope to be able to do it for another 100 😁

An enjoyable video. I could feel Mr Ron’s anxiety and pride

That thing is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

Love it! What a great moment for Ron. Thanks for sharing!

I Love these kinda people.... They really are a dying breed .... Fear for the future ...Glad I'm 60 ...

Love it! Nice job Ron and support crew. Beautiful model and good times with friends is what it's all about.

So relieved that the maiden flight went smoothly. I think I was holding my breath for the entire video.

Bloody magnificent........well done mate........kind regards from Australia.

From 🇬🇧 Well impressed at that, well done.

Fantastic job. You should be very proud of your efforts.

Thank you for sharing, I am 62 and going to maiden a Ziroli Stuka, this gives me inspiration, great job on building and flying Mr. Ron, made me smile seeing the dance at the end!!

Just some old guys enjoying life together. At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

Glad to see you so happy and enjoying life! Greetings from Germany.

Beautiful! Congratulations on the amazing build and this highly anticipated maiden flight! The Stuka JU87 was the first plastic model airplane kit that I built as a kid in the 1970's. I hung it from the ceiling of my bedroom with a few other favorite war planes that I built. Although now missing the bomb, I still have the JU87... and a Mitsubishi 'Zero' to this day.

There are great builders and great pilots, but often times not both. Nice work!

A beautiful build. Nice flying and hats off to your ground crew.

Praise the Lord that the flyin machine never crashed an burned. Amen !🇺🇸

He's called Ron Maiden? That means he gets to introduce himself as " I, Ron Maiden " - and he built a Stuka

that’s what’s it’s all about ,love to see this and Ron is so happy ,just beautiful

☠BLACK BARON☠ 7:02 Yeah! Feels good right? ... 3 years of patience and building and now a real pilot. Respect 👍

What a fabulous model, skilfully flown! That feeling after a successful maiden is a wonderful thing - not sure I’ve ever seen a video capture it so well. Congratulations Mr Ron - epic work!

Even the little pilot shakes like its alive! Very very nice job

Bravo! Beautifully built and flown!

Brilliant ❤thanks 😊

I Ron maidens. Nice work!

That is awesome, smile on his face is the greatest! I miss seeing a guy with a stuka at Baton Rouge flyin with the little whistle devices on his stuka so it makes that cool sound when diving. Good job on Maiden flight sir!

Aced the landing, very smooth to think it's on the 1st flight.

That is a nice group of flying buddies right there. Thanks for sharing.
