So glad to watch this video after seeing the "39kg 86lbs Sea Fury from down under. An overweight hangar queen. Different planes, but yours is as detailed but flies appropriately.
Awesome machine! Awesome performance and handling, awesome detail and realism...all around incredibly impressive as evidenced by the time, care and skill needed to make this warbird a memorial. A real inspiration for all those of us who haven't been "assimilated" by the iPhone-collective...
Absolutely outstanding! Beautiful aircraft and a skillful flight. The landing is perfect. Had to see it twice. Huge investment in $ and time. Well done. Do another video, I will be watching. Thanks for posting.
What a beautiful, realistic model, it’s a masterpiece. The slow flypasts with undercarriage and flaps down looked superb. Why fit it though with a modern panel including modern VHF radios? Surely a period blind flying panel would have been more appropriate?
0:41 Its good to see Joe pilot helping out with the build, shows he's eager to get in the air, and willing to have some skin in the game. but isnt it a little premature to already be suited up for flight?
Such a beautiful model but the authenticity is ruined by a two bladed prop. I know, I know, efficiency, drag, etc, but other models fly with three and four bladed props so why can't this one do the same. It sounds better too with four blades.
