79KG!! XXXL F-104 STARFIGHTER SCALE 1:3 RC TURBINE JET FLIGHT DEMONSTRATION

[@mtacoustic1]

Excellent piloting! Even full scale pilots had their hands full with this bird; especially on landing!

[@musicairplanes4884]

Not surprising. They only had about 7 feet of wing on each side. From what I understand they had to keep rubber guards on the leading edge of the wings when parked to keep people from cutting themselves.

[@robertlyon8876]

That’s for damn sure .

[@Il-Siciliano]

F-104. The RC pilot, Sanwald. The demonstration. Camera and operator. Each as impressive as the other. Makes for a wonderful viewing experience!

[@24bellers20]

Stunning. I take my hat off to you Sir. The most realistic flight I have ever seen.

[@Ackermanmedia]

That is the most unbelievable scale RC model EVER!!!

[@WalterJohnson-er7bt]

Absolutely a fantastic model build and control system. I think as a pilot myself the gentleman operating the plane is probably a pilot also and a good one. All and all it’s a grand video in every way. Congratulations to all involved!

[@mpoyart]

A perfect combination of realism,piloting and filming.Congratulations!

[@shop970]

Not in a lifetime would you be able to see this much dedication to the hobby! Phenomenal job. Pilot skills. & aircraft. Like history itself!

[@Saf4San]

Turbine Startup sound was superb

[@U812-k7j]

I don't even want to think about the carnage if this aircraft had a radio glitch and flew into the spectators standing on the sidelines.

[@erniepoole8900]

A stunning model, beautifully flown. Maybe in my next life…….

[@nobbynick657]

Absolut fantastic, great pilot

[@kb3byu]

Absolutely beautiful build

[@sergelarue1095]

super beau l ' avion est magnifique le pilotage propre fluide Bravo

[@nanooseguy327]

Brilliant Pilot skills there on a magnificent Bird. 👍👍

[@ghoster3078]

Having grown up around the CF 104 in Cold Lake Alberta Canada. This brings back so many memories. ! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@DIGITALRC]

Great comment, thanks 😎

[@rickottone4349]

Wow, absolutely breathtaking, stunning. Well done!

[@raymonddunn9723]

I saw Jimmy Jabara land the real thing at Carswell AFB in the 60s . It had a hoarse scream that was unmistakable. He was part of the B58 test group and the first jet to jet fighter ace. He died tragically in Florida when his daughter who was driving got into a car crash. He was only 43 years old. RIP Jimmy.

[@shop970]

Deadly fly by passes. This thing is a bomb.. . Scary!

[@4Tugboats]

This bird could win first place in the RussJet competition. Absolutely amazing jet !!! I wish I knew what kind of turbine he used in this plane, and how much thrust it develops.

[@MadeleineFriedrich]

Woooow!! Danke für diesen beeindruckenden Flug! Good Sound! :)

[@RWildekrav66]

You said a mouthful sister ! Danke . That is really something!

[@jackmigge1624]

Heavy Duty !! GOOD stuff !!

[@michaelwhinnery164]

Fantastic model, great pilot and impressive videography. Well done.

[@DIGITALRC]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍😎

[@James-gf9jl]

I love the realistic inertia of these large-scale models.

[@marcandreasson87]

Amazing model. Congratulations

[@DIGITALRC]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@dr.wilfriedhitzler1885]

Sehr sehenswert. Welch ein Bauaufwand. Aber der lohnt sich, wenn man fliegen kann.

[@vulcanvoyager]

Hope that little Pilot knows he's sitting in "The Widowmaker"

[@hlcepeda]

Protracted, super-large-scale r/c builds probably makes the wives feel as if they were widows. 😉

[@anthonymumford4277]

The real version of this plane was a flying coffin. Let's hope it doesn't crash like the real one did so often.

[@HDSME]

Looks real sharp

[@wernerschulte6245]

Sehr beeindruckende Landung. Bei der Wetterlage nicht einfach fallen gelassen, sondern souverän ausgesteuert und sanft hingesetzt - Kompliment ! Aber so ein Flugzeug ist auch zu teuer für eine schlechte Behandlung . . .

[@LORANS-k2s]

Wow.... Bravo.... Very good job ❤

[@clifficus]

That is truly amazing, so realistic that I keep watching the pilot for some reaction, beautiful, thanks for sharing 👍😊

[@v6pulsar]

A thing of absolute beauty!

[@chrisgee5893]

If it’s as safe as the full size widow maker h’ll need all the luck he can muster.

[@leafforever9174]

WOW!!! Stunning👌

[@ashantiego5107]

Beautiful model, beautifully flown!!

[@garethjones2171]

wow well flown

[@ohiorc5586]

This is incredible so scale and even a scale landing well done this is a true pilot

[@RGL01]

Very nice flying.

[@male42nfree]

Amazing!

[@samuelpope7798]

The real F-104 was called a "missile with a man in it.". This is just a "missile"!

[@SustenanceNCovering]

Incredible.

[@douglasslayback3441]

Excellent a/c and piloting, as usual, but the camerawork always topnotch! 👍👍👍

[@DIGITALRC]

Maaany thanks for your great feedback. I appreciate this very much 😎👌

[@dejesteel262]

Absolutely gorgeous and your an awesome pilot

[@petergrundy8081]

That is next level

[@wayneandrus240]

How amazing!!

[@charleslindsay3201]

that was impressive

[@kennethanway7979]

Awesome!

[@Ros.A314]

Wow....just wow!

[@shortribslongbow5312]

Very Impressive flight and aircraft! Kudos. :o)

[@K-Effect]

It’s too cool for school

[@roberta.6399]

Wow Wow Wow

[@Chuck-se5hh]

Gorgeous!!!!

[@senseijimmy]

At what point do you just make it big enough to get in?

[@fredboat]

Thank you, ARF ? , Just kiddin, Magnificent, like Duh.

[@michaelangelo7511]

An onboard camera would have been wonderful.

[@NicholasStreet]

That was epic! Is it a real reheat or lights in the jet pipe?

[@cudathehawgjetfixer7520]

It's sad to say this model will be the only way for future generations to see an F-104 flying! Most have been scrapped or turned into gate guards!!!

[@louannwatt4447]

Tops!!!

[@dannosoar2534]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@lars1-ld5bi]

Love this

[@12vibaba]

You should use black smoke like the original.

[@ArneChristianRosenfeldt]

The air intake almost looks like on the F-35 . Now we need something from a helicopter to drive a fan in the exhaust nozzle to have a true single engine plane.

[@mauriziolored6123]

Woow

[@lotharkruger2553]

Geil😊

[@tompekarna]

Due to it's high crash frequency it earned the title "widow maker", set many altitude and speed records but turned poorly and landed at high speed due to small rear mounted wings. Short utilization by USAF

[@billbright1755]

Guided Missile. 😊

[@felipemunoz8105]

En Chile no podrías volar eso sin pagar por un curso y dar un examen para obtener una licencia. Tendrías que presentar un plan de vuelo a la dirección de aeronáutica civil cada vez que quisieras volarlo y seguramente pagar por ello. Para usar un dron piden eso y son 10 veces más pequeños. Pedirán lo mismo en eeuu?

[@kermitaner]

this was in Germany, but i think u also have to register the start in advance here

[@maurizioborgato9820]

Wow

[@Thunder_6278]

Playback speed at 75%, it looks more real.

[@GarthGoldberg]

Wow. Just make it a little bigger and put a seat in it.

[@nickcaci7238]

Stunning a work of art and engineering. Such a large thoroughbred looks to confined in the RC flying box. Can my puppy get a ride in it?

[@dannidanni-e4n]

Dach Extension

[@carterbishop2935]

what is the top speed of this aircraft?

[@mauriziolored6123]

Beautiful plane but unfortunately unstable and problematic to fly.. Many accidents... Known as the widow factory or the flying coffin...

[@georgelevin6134]

If they could just get it to sound like a 104.

[@mor0x24]

79KG it's a RC hobby ? .....

[@marlonjohnfreyburger6242]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤍

[@csullivancox]

Why, why why why? You could put that turbine in a kit plane and fly, like pilot a real airplane with it. And fly in the air, yourself. Bizarre priorities to me.

[@barrypowell829]

😂 owning a plane cost 💲 more than you realize. This RC jet is a hobby and the pilot is awesome!😎
