Radio Control Dambusters 

sure as hell! love it! I am a bit of a WW2 plane expert, and I think you did a good job replicating it in this small scale! Well done!

spoiler! XD

O man you guys should test a little more and get better at it, make a new foam plane (or a couple :) ), paint it the right colors and you could give demonstrations at airshows, wwII celebrations/remembrances, veteran meet ups. Those old guys will be thrilled to so young guys like you trying to mimic what their generation pulled off.

That was great guise - well done & congratulations. ..You induced a smile on my face😃👌. Have a great weekend & the best to all (& fam.).

I also enjoyed your channel. Bell just rang.

Cheers mate! Thanks for letting me use the animation!!

@@TomStantonEngineering Not a bother!

Watching from Brazil. In the time I heard Dambuster, immediately my sinapses led to @RealEngineering video in my memory haha! Love the content you make! Keep it up!

@@RealEngineering what video is it from? I thought I watched all of your videos, but I cannot remember this one

Isgolo My dambusters video. It initially did not go out to many of my subs as it was demonetized.

😂

Alright chaps Who's up for a spot of tea.

Dean Robert That or just Pub? Pub.

And then "oh cock"

pat your back

Thanks Alex!!

Wow! There’s so many awesome you tubers in these comments

could not agree more. utterly spot on.

lmao 🤣🤣

you are _100%_ correct man

Hahaha that wasn't me ;)

You see that's why Tom is the actual engineer and I'm not haha

Lift:am i a joke to you?

@@TomStantonEngineering Sure "iT wAsN't yOu"

wow lol best comment

This is what I was looking for! lol.

If ya lif near a damn and want to kill everyone in your neighboorhood and yourself ya sure call the damn busters🤣

lil green guy doodoodoodooodoodoo I ain’t afraid of no dam

Nice.

@Eric Harris read it like dam busters theme

agreed. 1000% accurate

I'm in

👀👀👀😬 that would be one heck of a collab!

Can’t wait

Lemme borrow your airliner, I’ve got a model of the twin towers.

This ones gonna be the best🔥🔥

lol dude fantastic

Not really. One issue with just using a Cylinder is that if the bomb is not dropped with the aircraft having its wings level, the bomb may hit the water with its long axis at an angle which will result in the bomb bouncing in an arc instead of a straight line. This did happen to the third bomb dropped on the Mohne by Micky Martin during the Dams Raid ,

​@@richardvernon317 "Worked better" in that it worked at all...

@@No1sonuk ​ The Spherical bomb did work better, they just didn't have time to develop it. The Cylindrical metal core was selected to allow the thing to be built in time to allow the RAF to attack the dams when they were full. Building 50 odd Spherical all metal Upkeep bombs were not possible in the time allowed, thus Wallis hoped that a wooden cylindrical barrel around the metal cylinder would be good enough. It wasn't The original solid prototypes dropped form the Wellington were Spherical. Highbsll for the Mosquito was Spherical. What a lot of people don't realise it how fast this thing was developed. Yes, Walils had been working on the theory and with models (including the early full sized air dropped prototypes) for about a year when the decision was made to actually build a full sized weapon to attack the dams within less than 3 months. The RAF's plan wasn't however just to use Upkeep against the Dam's in the May of 1943, they hoped to have Highball ready as well and do a daylight mosquito attack against the Tirpitz to boot in the same month! So Wallis was actually working on two new weapon designs concurrently. Highball failed to meet the deadline due to problems with the aircraft's release mechanisms and the fact that the bomb couldn't handle sea waves very well, so the pressure to develop that dropped off in the late April. There was also the fact that Guy Gibson not only had to form a new squadron and train it to do an operation totally left field of what anybody in Bomber Command's main force was doing at the time. He had to form and train with almost a completely new crew in his aircraft as well, as unlike the Film, only one of Gibson's crew from 106 Squadron went across to Scampton with him.

If only they were drinking tea to keep warm

It is verry brittish to kill many civilians.

@@iloveamerica8541 so true!!!!

echt deutsch look at your name tho

@@biko9824 ? What has that to do with anything?

That pilot does deserve commendations for this mission

Came to the comments specifically for this observation.

same

The Dambusters are well known in the UK. Not really a niche thing

The Virtual Scotsman I’m sure it is but I’m an American. I was commenting more on how there’s a large population of young people who seem to have watched a bunch of the same documentaries.

Heck, I read about it, in a book, back in the 70s.

...ummm ...the YT algorithm :-/ ...perhaps not so "random" as you dreamed.

I didn't realise until the end too...

Did ol'granpappy help with the aero?

@@thegenerousdegenerate9395 I'm sure I would have heard about it if he had... He was proud that he found a method for assembling bulkheads for the lancaster that the company adopted.

Well my grandma drowned after a Damm was burst this way

@@peterzingler6221 I'm sorry to hear that. My sympathy.

@@peterzingler6221 sorry for your loss.

Thanks Gavin!

Awesome!

Nope

So were the concentration camps. Not much pity here

RIP to those who died

@@hondosarge5181 We know, that british people are still obsessed with WW2. Let's build a RC V1 an simulate attacks at London. That's funny too, isn't it?

@@LRDROK I feel bad for the POW, the animals and the non-nazi citizens.

@@KALLER76 Nice virtue signalling, in war lives are always lost and there are always innocents that die. Let's face during that period a lot of people made some fucked up decisions, maybe next one there'll be less fuck ups but I doubt it. We are after all talking about humans.

Probably won't happen since Tom chopped Peter's finger off

@@Havocx42 well he didnt really cut it off, just cut it.

Havocx42 what? have i missed out on something here?
