I'd loved to see a person beside the aircraft, for size. Anyhow - Great to see this!

Nice adjustment chart very useful to start point for any kind type engines👍

Can the gear retract?

Please do more videos on this thing I wanna all the ins and outs. Soo cool

Since the Titan sub disaster I get Stockton Rush vibes from Peter. The 'I'm right because it's my idea' attitude, backed up by inaccurate (or no) data and limited testing. Peter was lucky to come out of Raptor 1 in one piece, and now he's upped the stakes and he's going again. Thanks for this serious and calm proof that physics can't be reorganised to suit your sales targets.

I understand the technical scope of this a a bit more extensive than your typical homebuilt, but it's really not that earth-shattering as an airplane. I respect anyone who designs and builds and flies his own aircraft but it's still just a big homebuilt with multiple engines. Kudos to the reduction drives, glad he didn't use Eggenfeller junk. I guess the appeal is somewhat similar to building scale models, but I cannot imagine the pilot sitting in there thinking to himself: "Wow, I' really flying a B-29!" So yes, I admire the achievement, but I'll never quite get the point of scaled down look-alikes.

I would like to see the pilot getting into the cockpit. Can it carry passsengers?

Nicely done.

Are the landing gears retractable? The B-29 in full scale or Tom's 35% scale B-29, is always a graceful bird because of its wingspan. Good to see Tom's bird in takeoff and landing.

do the gear go up? i cant find any videos where they go up.

Enola Gay saved 1000's of allied POW's from doom they could not have survived a few more months/year the fatality rate was just shy of 30%. Everytime I see a B29 ( Never Seen one in Real life ) I always think of Enola Gay and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark .

No retracts?

Not a golf cart in sight 😂😂😂

Great landing! Smooth on the grass field. Powered by four Honda automotive inline engines. Amazing.

I'd love to see a Kermie Cam on this plane.

That is an RC aircraft not an Experimental Aircraft.

Ok. Who’s up for a B-36?😂

Absolutely amazing !!! Great detail !! Ought to be a part of the bigger airshows.

Have video/photos of someone standing alongside to show actual size, it’s hard to tell without.

Glad to see the damage from the ‘incident’ during the last landing was not so bad that it grounded the aircraft for good.

My Dad was a flight engineer on board B-29 with the 20th USAAC and I was able to fly in FIFI and went on to see DOC the only two still airworthy , they are truly beautiful and to hear them start up is wonderful, Dad would fly from IWO JIMA to JAPAN and back with over 400 29’s in formation!!!!!!!!! What great men they were! THE GREATEST!

Wonderful

Amazing model Superfort, well done the owner builder a wonderfull outcome for such an icon of aviation history.

is this an rc plane? is someone sitting inside it?

Does the pilot lay down in it ????

Well done.

Built in 2024, film with equipment from 1984.

Would have loved to see video, but youtube is forcing 3 minute commercials on me to watch it!

Insane project, be nice to see the Bali Bomber, and the 7/8 P-38 Lightning all in one place.

Truly remarkable aircraft. Just beautiful. Daring vision + amazing skills have made this one-of-a-kind work of functional art. Thank you for sharing this.

Nice rendition..mp4 is the best format. I use it all the time.

Hard to find proper words.. just amazing! Amazing!!!

Congratulations on a fantastic achievement, Mr. Hodgsons. That is one beautiful airplane. I know that the Balley Bomber has two seats, does this plane also have a second (or even possibly a third seat)?🫀🧠🔥♥👍👍✌✈

Interested to hear what he used for PSRU's and props.

Makes my eyes water just looking at it...!

Congratulations!! A great accomplishment! The engines sound terrific. Glad to see the golf carts stayed off the runway this time.

BEAUTIFUL!!! Loved this video and aircraft!!! It reminds me of the Bally Bomber: The late Jack Bally's 1/3 B-17!!!❤🙏👌

That is very cool though it was giant scale rc at first , sure has the wow factor congrats

The STOL version, what an achievement. Friggin Great. Best Regards from Alaska. Only those who do not read or refuse to read think its an RC... (I hate to say it but it does sound like an RC plane - and Yes, I only fly Lyc and Conti's) - The comments on KZbin often suck, its just the days we live in. Thanks for posting, hope to see the plane in Oshkosh, Best Regards from Alaska!

Poetry in motion!

A super nice 35% scale model of the B-29. That would give it about a 49' wingspan, wow!

Fantastic and incredible. And it would still be smarter to test fly at larger airport with a lot more security and elbow room in case of mishaps. In aviation, the convenient and the unnecessary are invitations to an accident.

Has it flow with the landing gear retracted yet

Truly the most amazing home built ever made, just phenomenal.

Thanks for posting! Just FYI, his last name said “Hodson”. The g is silent 😊

FOUR HONDA WHAT ENGINES?!? HOLY SMOKE!😮

PHENOMENAL!

Wow!! He could pilot real bombing missions with this thing. To all of Tom's neighbors, don't get him mad at you. hahahahahaaahahaaa.......fantastic plane. I very much admire people who can build something like this, and then successfully fly it. I wish him all the best that the unthinkable never happens. Looking forward to more videos.

Few people realize or appreciate the freedoms our aviation culture here in America provides. Nowhere else are the skies so accessible or the freedom to innovate so prevalent.
