Gotta love watching a well-trained, talented, and experienced pilot having fun in a tiny plane with a huge engine.

My grandpa built that ❤

nicht eine 111 hat überlebt ! Wir müssen mit den Briten reden !!! Nicht eine !!!! Es muss doch möglich sein noch eine zusammenzubauen ? Waren wir wirklich so gefährlich !😅

that is Tony Bonetti with his Troublemaker and Webra Blackhead 61 not Don Lowe (at 1.03')

I take it no expo on these bad boys? Anyone know what frequency they ran on? 27 Mhz?

i love the Heinkel and i have an idea would the Heinkel be in the flight in Style Airshow.

Precioso video retro con música de antaño ylas bellas evoluciones de este acrobático de la época de oro de la aviación.

There's nothing like the sound of a big round engine. (except for a bigger round engine). I think that's why Harley's are so popular, they've got 2 7ths of a radial engine to listen to.

EXTRAORDINÁRIO BOB ROOVER 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🇧🇷

Nice aerodynamic design

I flew one of these at the Warbird Museum in Kissimmee Florida

Wish I could,cervical and thoropathic surgery,plates rods in my upper thoracic and neck

I would have loved to fly with him😂

Coisa mais linda ☝️⚡💥🔥

Not music please

I was lucky to see Bob perform a Reno three times in the early 70’s. It was amazing and I felt privileged to see him perform! Bob also flew the all yellow P-51 that Rockwell provided during all the Unlimited races. If anyone ran into trouble, Bob would a complete aerial check over of the plane, tell the pilot what he saw, then talk them down.

What happened to the landing gear? retracts fail? I have the mechanical retracts in mine, and to get them to really sit up nice in the well, I have to be inverted when I put them up!

When you say Bob Hoover, you’ve said it all. THE BEST EVER!!!

It’s all grace. Beautiful energy management as Bob called it

There are just a very few who might have Bob Hoover's talent.

Lom tso vak.

I recently built a 1973 Super Kaos with electric retracts to sample some nostalgic flight. It's surprisingly fast for a fat wing and a 5055 545kv electric motor with 6S power and a 13x8 propeller. This setup has lots of power and about the same weight as glow with 3300mah.. I made the strip ailerons a bit wider to get faster rolls. In flight it's quite evident that there isn't much fuselage there. Knife edge flight isn't going to happen and the bubble canopy is important side area so don't leave it off. Rolls and loops are fine but the spin tends to over rotate about a quarter turn. Landings and takeoffs are nice and a low flyby with the gear up is a real treat. There isn't much room up front for batteries, speed control and retracting nose wheel but it all just fits. Since there is minimal fuselage the Kaos isn't bothered much by cross winds which is helpful. This was a fine airplane for the old AMA pattern but didn't have a lot of character. It's just an honest basic old school pattern airplane that is fun to fly.

This is real R/C flying,with beautiful planes.I love pattern airplanes.The closest thing I have today is a horizon Hobby's V900 which I modified to fly like a sport pattern plane.I miss my Bridi UFO with rhom aire retracts,a max tuned pipe and an OS61 with a robart fuel regulator.

I remember as a young teenager going to this event at Glenview NAS in 1972. There was one area where some participants were flying their "Jetex" rocket powered gliders. That was pretty entertaining as some of the model planes literally lost their wings from the thrust of the engine (and consequential high speed) becoming instead missiles and thankfully not hitting anyone. But one "Jetex" glider drifting in circles after having spent its fuel came down just low enough behind a guy sitting in his chair casually watching things and simply tipped off his Panama hat with its nose. Fun times and thanks for sharing!

The ultimate hot rod of the sky!

Beautiful scenery and amazing flying! Younkin and Franklin were the best!

Bob "no engine, no problem" Hoover. Definitely an aviation legend!!!

Hi patty.

What a wonderful surprise to find Dwight on a KZbin clip…he’s the man making flying smooth and safe…with love❤️ from the “Baby Gorilla” crew…

The DeBolt P-Shooter is a hoot to fly. The 4250 800KV outrunner brushless motor really winds up on an 11x6 propeller and provides plenty of power. It does tight little loops and is quite perky. The ailerons require about 50% rudder mixing to get it to roll properly. I remember now that back then you used full aileron and rudder together to get an axial roll. The strip ailerons are quite narrow so they need to deflect a lot to get adequate response. The P-Shooter was designed for reed receivers and slow Bonner servos so the slow ailerons hid the control blips. Loops were a full throw event. All that dihedral helps level flight but is a hindrance in cross wind landings. The P-Shooter is reluctant to snap roll and spin because it just won't stall.

The Astro Hog was a real surprise. It's a big airplane with a short nose and a long tail so it's easy to build it tail-heavy, Back in the 1960 modelers were used to building very light because the radios were so heavy and the motors were puny. This airplane has a lot of lead in the front end to balance correctly. Plenty of power made it go fast but it was difficult to slow down for landing. Because of it's weight it could only slow down a bit before it stalled. Also once it was into a 3 turn spin it really wound up due to the weight and was reluctant to recover normal flight. So the surprise was that it was fast and rolled and looped nicely. If it could lose about 3 pounds it would be a better aerobat. The wing is flat instead of the considerable dihedral of the original. I would add back a couple degrees to make it look better.

The Kyosho Pitts S2 got converted to electric also. An E-Flite Power 46 provided the power and flaperons were incorporated to help with take off and landing chores. A 3 axis gyro was added to help with the various typical Pitts muddles. The gyro especially helped in point rolls as the rudder wanted to un-roll the 3rd point which is typical of Pitts Specials. A Pitts likes to get off the ground quickly before it can ground-loop and a little droop on all 4 ailerons does the trick. The same flaperon helps with landing by slowing the aircraft down and delaying the stall.

The Art Chester Jeep was an old kit by Coverite powered by an OS .40. I decided to convert it to electric and substitute a modern radio system to see if it would fly better. With an 4250 800KV outrunner brushless motor on 5 lipo cells it really scooted on an 11x7 propeller. However it didn't want to turn but would rather fly knife-edge. Mixing in 25% rudder with the aileron got the nose to turn properly. It was still flying a bit goofy so a 3 axis gyro was added which helped a bunch. The tail moment of the Jeep is really short and there is a lot of fuselage area so flies a bit like a Gee Bee. I also used the ailerons as partial flaps which helped slow it down for landing. After all this it flies much better but it's very hoppy on landings. Low bounce wheels help and I'll tie the metal landing gear legs together with a spreader wire to reduce the spring action. So an old model was given some new life with appropriate modern technology.

Let's talk about the use of flaps. WW2 scale RC models have flaps and they are quite large. There's a desire to drop scale amount of flap for landing because it looks scale. However goofy things start to happen to the model with full flaps. Because of the scale effect the model weighs a fraction of the real thing and the wing area is much less too. It took a huge amount of drag to slow down an 8,000 lb fighter but there was 1500hp available and around 250 square feet of wing area to keep it flying. That's a lot of mass and lift and power there. A model is quite another animal. Everything is much more delicate. Dumping full flap on a quarter scale P51 Mustang can make for some wild effects such as pitching up and down along with the elevator being blanked out at a crucial moment. You may get an OK landing with full flap if the approach angle is pretty steep and there is some power on. This will require a fast flair to land which has to happen quickly and perfectly. A more survivable method would be to use half flap for the final approach and wait till about the last moment to drop full flap when the model is in ground effect. The approach doesn't have to be so steep and if the engine loses power it won't be catastrophic. The last minute full flap deployment feels like a Robin coming into land. It's pretty natural.

Это делает женщина! Великолепно!!! 👍🔥

The Zen of Stick & Rudder. No pilot was better.

👍👍👍👍👍

Unfforgetable,,,,

Its only a spin if,the airspeed is below the stall

Epoustouflant

What. A. Legend.

Did he actually smoke the engine or was it just for effects

nice display boy

👍👍👍👍

That commentator is like a radio dj who does not know how to keep his mouth shut.

I flew as a passenger in this plane in 1979. I'm doing a short video about it. May I please use some of your footage for my video? I'll credit you, of course.

I highly recommend Col. John Morrissey's video: "Survive the Spin". A must-see explanation of spin recovery technique. He demonstrates inadvertent auto rotation in a Sukhoi-29, Pitts Special and a Cessna 150 Aerobat.

Very odd engine air intakes on that airplane. Very boxy.

Even the lord sighed & shook his head 7:12
