Top job Eric. A nice scale-sized 3 or 4 blade propeller would complete the illusion. Well done.

Awesome Spit, the smoke is too much. Looks like he got shot down. Great flying thoug!

Hello! My friend!!! I am glad!!! To see you and your gorgeous plane!!!! My friend !!!! Breathtaking flights!!!! And soft landings! Clear sky!!! Твой друг Вадим!

Great pilot😮 Especially with all that exhaust smoke in his face!

If it had a Merlin engine sound, you could almost believe it was a REAL Spitfire although the landing gear looks a little short. Top job, Eric.

Such a beautiful authentic looking plane. Love the metal, the minor details and the weathering effects. Love the smoke, some of those camera shots with the sky in the background are good enough to be put in a movie!

Amazing! Just awesome

[@strikingscorp4659]

Nice to see you here

[@trungson6604]

Actually, the DLE 170cc engine sounds pretty good, and gives very good performance for such a big 1/3-scale Spitfire. Realistic flight speed and beautiful performance. The DLE 170 cc costs $1,000 USD and puts out 17.5 hp weighing 4 kg. An equivalent 4-stroke realistic-sounding Kolm engine IL230-V4 with 3 cylinders costs $6,000 USD , weighing 8 kg and puts out much less power due to it being a 4 stroke engine and turning only 6,000 rpm, while the DLE turns up to 9,000 rpm. The DLE-170cc engine has power-to-weight ratio of a turboprop engine while being very cheap to own and operate, and has very little vibration due to the horizontal-oppose 2-cylinder configuration.

Thanks again for taking the time to get video and stills of this and every other plane you have filmed. Regards, Pete. Keep up the good work tbobborap.

[@tbobborap1]

thanks dougal

[@VidarLund-k5q]

Very good. You know that the RR Merlins had three sets of piston rings, while the Packard 266 Merlin had two? That sometimes caused them to seize because of poor lubrication?

[@brianvalente3071]

Lovely aircraft, I suppose the more is OK, it looks like one that has been in the battle with the Hun. I really admire the time and effort put in by these enthusiasts not to mention the expense.

[@scottgorman7166]

I dont know what else to add for outstanding model, performance and flying.........unreal job. The other comments just said it all. Just a little dig...that pilot didnt have a regulation haircut!😃 Additionally how do they produce the smoke? Is it a oil reserve tank injecting oil in to the cylinders? Boy what a treat to watch this beauty. Fying with such grace in the air. Thanks again for sharing with all of us tbobborap1

[@tbobborap1]

Many thanks scott, yes eric put on a great display for sure, there is a separate tank full of specially designed environmentally safe smoke fluid (by law) and yes it is pumped but not directly into the cylinder as this would smother the engine power, rather it is pumped into the hot exhaust manifold and vaporizes instantly, also you can get different fragrances of smoke inc bubble gum or strawberry or peppermint or more flavors - i kid you not, thanks for supporting our channel over time scott, regards pete,

[@nickaxe771]

Everyone is complaining about the smoke but I think it adds a good effect awesome plane doesn’t need a thing to change, perfect!

[@453421abcdefg12345]

A fantastic model! and an excellent flying display, but why put out great clouds of smoke? It completely ruins the display, apart from putting hideous stains up the sides od the aircraft.

[@martinambroz6034]

You are completely right! If real Spitfire had smoked like that, than it would be very useless and unsuccessful fighter. Man, put that smoke away and it is great! Or put less smoke to proper place where it comes from.

[@tbobborap1]

read the video description !

[@capnron65]

We read the description - we just think that it takes away from the graceful lines of the Spitfire to have it constantly flying in a cloud of smoke. During aerobatics and maneuvers - yes, but basically takeoff til touchdown - it's overkill. Very nice plane though and nice flying.

[@rcrocksyt9463]

Its really simple its NOT your plane its the guy that owns that Spitfire he does what he wants with it. Nice Spitfire

[@iraborton3941]

Why so many internet Jack-wagons who feel it necessary to tell other people how to make their models/videos? Maybe they should make/fly their own models and edit their own videos as they see fit.

[@TheMojophotos]

Very nice, defo needs a 4 bladed prop though. I'm guessing that the heavy weathering on the fuselage sides is a result of all that smoke rather than being painted on?

[@nathaaab]

Still better than fake painted unrealistic wheatering to me...

[@idleonlooker1078]

Nice model and control, but I've never seen a Spitfire so heavily weathered!! I'm sure for the real thing, the RAF had specs to ensure that the squadron codes, lettering and serial number remained legible? Also too much use of smoke - the Spit got hit by flak in the engine on its take-off run!! Far better - and more realistic - to have activated the smoke on it's last circuit and then brought it in to land with a "damaged" engine?

[@sonjagebauer2322]

That´s no weathering but the oil of the 2-stroke engine 😏😏😖😖😖

[@endwood]

+Team Hansen Honda G'day, I agree, a beautiful model, fully fucked up by a foolish fetish for fuming furiously...; it looks like it has an Oil-Fire, or a Glycol-Leak which goes on, for far too long. If one were filming a Movie of the Air-War over France in late 1945 , with Models, then this would be absolutey perfect for staging all the scenes of Spitfires crashing in flames...; but for Display-Flying it looks horrible, a visual anomaly.., an Aerobatic Engine-Fire.. (yuck !). It's great for visualusing the Airflow over, and the Downwash behind, the Wing's Aerofoil Section..; so, all the Fans of Henri Coanda (pardon that pun !) will no doubt be thrilled... *If* a Spitfire really really *must* be retrofitted to fart a controllable Smoketrail, then surely it's hot (insulated) Engine-Exhaust could've been plumbed internally to release the Vapour-trail from the underside of the Fuselage, in a single plume - rather than the alternating "Puff...Puff...Puff...Puff..." stacato alternating effect, which this example displays from it's 1-into-6-Pipe Dummy-Stacks on either side ; it's the dissipation of the point of emergence which fouls the look of the thing... In my humble pontification, anyway... ;-p Ciao !
