Awesome video. Could not figure this out. Thanks.

This Spitfire is gorgeous !

Great model but its too small for such a powerful, heavy engine....Please don't fly it again, wing loading is way too high.....🤔😳😏🇬🇧

are these engines available to purchase? I need one!

Finally, Futaba. getting into the 900mz Not available anywhere here in the USA! This is only the second video in English I've seen.

That's not a Mk.IX Spitfire it's a Mk.XIV, Check A/C reg. RN201.

That's a slick unit. Doubt I'd have the nerve to actually fly it considering the hours and money it represents. I think the most amazing feat of precision measuring and machining I have ever laid eyes on was at an RC and ultralight fly in I attended about 10 years ago with my Rotorway Scorpion 133 project (a sadly incomplete project). Anyway, I happened upon an old timer that always had something cool to show off every year. This year he had a huge BV 138 flying boat in gorgeous luftwaffe maritime patrol livery that be designed and built in his shop over a few years. looked to be about 1:10 scale and everything was accurate right down to the hand made rivets in the hull. It had a functional searchlight, turrets and retractable gear but that's not even the coolest part... This guy hand designed (no computer because he didn't know how to use one..) and built not 1, not 2 but 3 scale Junkers Jumo diesel aero engines! complete with hand built turbo's, gearboxes and props. And he did it the old fashioned way with lathe's, saws, drills, files, lost wax casting etc. Apparently he even built a mini drop hammer forge to make the rods, crank and studs. I was so amazed I forgot to ask the obvious.. What the hell does it run on?? At that scale I'd expect diesel to have a viscosity like motor oil, so I doubt it can be atomized through a teeny little injector.. They all ran great though, and it sounded amazing!

Wonderful! I wish you'd do another video on just that amazing engine.

you make very nice video keep up

WOW AWESOME !!!!

how do you know you are on track?

JR vanished a decade ago in the USA. I still fly JR with equipment that nowadays is obsolete.

Wow! That really is something. Even the sound is scale. And it (the V 12) could power a multitude of types. Imagine a 1/4 scale Lancaster with 4 of those amazing V 12's overhead?

Good on ya ! Thanks for sharing!

Elegant maiden flight, no doubt

Wow, I would be way too intimidated to fly that work of art. Beautiful

Bravo! A V12 model aero engine is finally with us. Don't let the nitpicking gigadorks bother you. You've achieved something amazing.

Well not sure if its a club rule or government rule…and i know that Australia has some very odd rules..but if i had to wear roadside reflective safety gear to fly RC airplanes i would live somewhere else…i worked my whole life next to or on roads..went through the period where zero gear was mandated to wearing vests …and I couldn’t stand wearing them then..

God,...some people have tooooo much time on their hands. Wow! I choose to live vicariously through you :)

Nicely done Sir

Futaba pro shop, you are definitely a fud !

That's so awesome

One of the most interesting set-up in Aeromodel I've seen in the past 10 years ! You could be very proud ! Definitely need a microphone to improve our pleasure in your video Cheers from France 🇨🇵

Cool.. gotta keep throttle a bit when landing.. never shut all the way down

Awesome set up and maiden! Congrats!!!

Are these beautiful engines reliable? What kind of hours can you get out of one? Or can they self destruct at any time?😁

Well done!

Sounds like a regular RC engine. So sorry.

Lovely little engine.Just like a Swiss watch.looks beautiful❤👍!

What a beautiful model

Love it, well done.

Gorgeous engine........but put that on gasoline and get away from the glow fuel!!!!!

I have the plans for an air-cooled V12 about that size in my files from a company out of Germany. After they completed that, they went on to do a liquid-cooled version.

A magnificent achievement. Well done to all.

How freakin' cool is that?!! A real scale model Merlin V-12 right where it should be in the P-51 warbird!! ..and it actually runs and flies! Can't wait to see it swinging a little bigger prop, better suited for the power curve of the engine.😄👍👍 *EDIT:* If you download the video and drop it into your favorite video player and drop the playback speed by 3X, that little Leslie V12 sounds identical to the RR Merlin at speed!🛩

A fat chunk of awesome.

Incredible! Looking forward to more footage!

Next project a Hawker Tempest with a scale Napier Sabre?!

Impressive.

all that needs is a pov cam and 2. 22lr mg on it and it will be a real mini war plane just a joke lol don't do it

V12 Or Not These Engines Are Not Strong Enough! Check The German Record "The Galloping Ghost P-51" They Used A Self Made Inline 4 With Breathtaking Power Speed And Sound....

Beautiful engine...no doubt! Just a friendly criticism: that landing approach was way, way, too steep! Your beautiful plane was building E on it's descent; not shedding it, hence the wild porpoising as you tried to flair. I'm a old timer RC flyer and real general aviation (single engine) pilot; your landing approach should really be at a much shallower angle to the threshold/runway and by all means, take your time to get out your flaps and gear and bleed off that speed!! I suggest you get gear out and flaps down as you turn down-wind from up-wind of the runway, pulling your power back to about 25% and maintaining a shallow descent on the down-wind approach. When you turn-to-base (L-turn to runway), make sure your throttle is only slightly open (~ 20%), coordinate rudder/aileron turn to final, and maintain a long, shallow approach to the field with power on. I see so many beautiful models pushing their gear through the wings, or worse, due to poor landing approach technique which manifests itself in porpoising, crashing through ground effect, etc. Let's keep you and that lovely plane flying for many day's to come!! Love to have one of those engines in my old 1/5th scale Pony as well..! Happy skies :)

My all time favorite. Such a beautiful job. And a nice flight. So now before its.too late hang that beauty up. You and others will then enjoy it for many years to come.

Sound Was Amazing…!!! That Other Guy Is A Di€k…!!!

Yeah right a 12 cylinder micro engine.

MINI MOTOR V12 👍👍 🇧🇷

Wow.

WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP? We want to hear what the engine sounds like
