Beautiful plane, excellent slow flight look, awesome engine sound, a masterpiece...kudoes to the builder, ground crew and pilot.

[@charlesfoster141]

Truly a spectacular model aircraft. This is an amazing and very ambitious undertaking! My hat is off to you. Your model looks like the real thing in the air. The sights and sounds are just amazing. Loved your scale like flying skills as well. Thank you for bringing this aircraft to life and sharing it with us all!

[@michaelnaisbitt1639]

Beautiful craftsmanship. My hat is off to you sir ---an excellent model

[@SmR8008]

Impressive. The sound of the plane was fantastic and with a smoke trail as good as that, it would qualify for the Red Arrows😄

[@cicero2]

Wonderful build and flying, Thomas. Respect and admiration to you and Michael from the UK.

[@oliverseeler1018]

Wonderful model and great flying! Too bad the experience of being a spectator both on video and in person at model airshows in Germany (and here in the US as well) is so often destroyed by over-amplified amateur announcers who never shut up and who drown out the wonderful sounds of the aircraft with their babbling and irrelevant music. Pilots of major model aircraft such as this beauty could do themselves, the hobby, and us spectators a huge service by insisting on a brief introduction before startup and then silence until shutdown after landing.

[@mattmiller9591]

BRAVO!!!!!! Well said.......i completely agree!! This should be mandatory....half the fun is the sounds of these beautiful birds...

[@jontisdall6248]

So true. Agree 100%.

[@UnicronTGOC]

Its theatrics. In this video I dont mind the ambiance of the music. It's a period piece. Imagine the movie stars of the 30's and 40's flying on the air boats going to the Hawaiian islands or Tahiti...its a good touch.

[@fatdad64able]

I agree. Hausen am Albis is Switzerland.

[@danielborling4544]

Mate this is in Switzerland

[@blueocean9305]

This is by far the most impressive RC model I have ever seen. Well done.

[@MarsFKA]

Beautifully made model. I first learned about the Dornier Do-X as a teenager and was astounded that, with all its built-in wind resistance, it actually flew.

[@derekpirie9188]

Agree, too much restriction above the wing. That is why it has the stub wings at the bottom, to create the additional lift needed to fly and stable at that.

[@MsKiTTy1138]

THAT IS BY FAR THE MOST IMPRESSIVE RC PLANE I HAVE EVER SEEN SO FAR. THE BUILDER/OWNER SHOULD BE SO PROUD. AND DAMD GOOD JOB ON THE BUILD. AMAZING & IMPRESSIVE.

[@sunshine7453]

What a beauty! What a piece of work! The flying is spectacular! No detail left untouched including the pilot!

[@jsteele2923]

That's insane! Love it. Couldn't understand a word he said but loved the background music! Amazing!!

[@stuartgreenfield6302]

Best model plane I've ever seen! It looks and even sounds like the real thing. A true masterpiece.

[@CaseyFinSF]

What a labor of love this plane is! And the sound of this piece of flying artwork is incredible! Well done!👍👍👁👁😁👌🙄😎

[@dmw1262]

I love the way that even the flight sound is to scale!

[@mechcntr7185]

12 actual gas engines, that sound like 4 strokers, I love it.

[@bpp325]

This is a magnificent piece of work. Excellent skills in piloting as well. It 'sounded' right too. Thank you.👍👍

[@martianshoes]

Superb reproduction of a great example ...of aviation in its infancy....that is just a beautiful craft....

[@retrovision3126]

I never saw anything like this before, I agree with you.

[@Echo_4609]

martianshoes to bad the real plane itself never got to actually fly

[@cartmanrlsusall]

google it it was in regular service

[@kurakensama]

Did flied. Did a trip to Brazil and New York, then back to Germany. Then was grounded and put in a museum, were was distroyed by allied bombings. The second and third built were sold to Italy, who used them for a while and then quietly commited unspeakable "planicide" by destroying them around 1935.

[@helmutschaff9092]

Wunderschönes Modell, perfekt präsentiert. Gratulation!

[@mattmiller9591]

This is the most beautiful RC aircraft I've ever seen!! It looks and sounds beautiful!! What a flawless landing also!! Thank you for this video.....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Wow , I can’t imagine all the work that went into bringing this aircraft back to life . Thanks for sharing

[@StellarBlue1]

Amazing, beautiful and inspirational. This is the best, most realistic and complicated RC plane I have seen. Bravo!

[@sbains560]

Impressive build I’d love to see a water landing and take off

[@bluarcher5941]

that thought crossed my mind also. I'm sure it was enough of a build just to get a land-only version in the air. : )

[@derekstocker6661]

Absolutely FANTASTIC! The people who don't like do really, they just pressed the wrong key in excitement. This must have taken as long as the original to build, very well done folks, a real credit to your skills. Wonderful!

[@ricdwe]

JUST DAMN! Y'all paired the nicest music to this video ... on all levels! Soooo cool and jazzy!

[@oldschoolgreentube]

Have wanted to see one fly since I was a little kid. Thanks for all your effort. Really cool.

[@TheBonzobonzo]

When that's in the air its looks like the real deal!

[@hdunn8589]

Michael Rosen because it's so big! (also ik that's what she said)

[@rconger24]

It sounds great to! Do you hear the drone of those 12 engines?

[@markgobuffalo6490]

This is quite the piece of art! Well done.

[@karlwelin7932]

I salute the people from the drawing board to the shop crew and everyone who had a hand on this craft. Well done.

[@AndyMarsh]

It looks so improbable on the ground but very graceful in flight. Great job!

[@AdvancedUSA]

I am in awe of people who have the skill and patience to create something like this.

[@Rocknranchman]

Truly a wonderful scale model! Probably one of the best I have ever seen! Incredable!

[@martynh5410]

A very beautiful and well-flown model by Micheal. Thomas nice video and thank you for posting it. I noted that those 12 engines all started up very well!

[@chrispza]

Wunderbar! Great kudos to the designers and constructors - an absolute piece of (flying) art. I have a soft spot for the odd and bizarre, and freakishly huge and gigantic - and this just ticks off all of them, with great panache. (The greenhouse-type windows are just added icing to an already luscious cake.)

[@aboringfart413]

Claude Dornier would have been absolutely delighted to see this. Greetings from germany! :-)

[@benchodegs9100]

Best RC airplane ive seen. The sound of the engines is music to my ears. Thanks for the video 👍👍👍

[@ruston1200]

In case of a engine failure, the dreaded 11 engine aproach :)

[@pooorman-diy1104]

flying this RC plane is far from relaxing moment ....lol..

[@marshalcraft]

Or debris from 1 engine takes out 9 other engines.

[@specforged5651]

marshalcraft...Wouldn’t that be 10? Maybe that’s just me.

[@hansvonmannschaft9062]

ROFL! You won the internet today sir.

[@herc1305]

@@specforged5651 I think it actually has 12 separate motors with every two motors mounted in opposite direction sharing a nacelle . When he started the motors, he began from the front. Starting a front motor did not get the rear prop spinning. He had to go to the back and start those going just like he did with the front motors.

[@txflyguy0076]

I smiled the entire video, perfection sir pure and simple, thank you for your hard work and dedication from Texas

[@emanueljones201]

Absolutely amazing this has to be the best RC model ever!!!!!!

[@the10thleper]

Wow Such a wonderful model. Great piloting, smooth and slow. Excellent take off and nailed the landing, very nice. This is one of the best RC models I have thus seen in my life. Absolutely Beautiful, Thank you.

[@Camarc64]

Impressive work of art, model is stunning and the 12 engines running are phenomenal, pilot its impressive !!! :)

[@MarcAntoineBvl]

When there's a discount if you take more than 10 engines on Hobbyking

[@keithnaylor1981]

Amazing! Could almost believe this is another Howard Hughes creation.

[@gorp27]

That is a beautiful machine and the sound of all its engines and props singing in sync is fantastic.

[@brianmason3941]

wOw, great video of an amazing aircraft. I'm so happy you didn't add music so we could hear the Motors purr.

[@MelbaOzzie]

Beautiful aircraft, and model. I loved watching this video. Congratulations to all involved. Also, it proves that if you put enough engines on a brick, it will fly.

[@atlantic1952]

What a beautiful aeroplane and what a wonderful achievement, thanks for making it and posting this really great video!

[@santeebandit3246]

Beautiful craftsmanship, great flying. Guy should be super proud.

[@larrydee8859]

Excellent modeling, engineering, and work!!!

[@jayhouse3149]

An Extraordinary Aviation Masterpiece of engineering, fabrication and ingenuity!

[@devonopdendries7722]

What a beautiful model! I've always loved this aircraft because it seems like such a fantasy aircraft... like too ridiculous to be real and truly a product of the pioneer age of aviation. It would have been amazing to fly in such a lumbering beast if I already had no hearing.

[@blorph1]

Simply amazing. Thanks for posting this.

[@Tugabud2]

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. So ungainly looking and yet, in the air, so graceful.

[@glengerdes2447]

Dang that thing sounds nice. Excellent flying!!

[@jerryumfress8340]

Hey from Tennessee, I really enjoy your vids, keep up the good work🛩✈

[@christianlohmann8577]

Wow. Just wow. Eines meiner All-Time Lieblings-Flugzeuge. Schade daß es keines im Original mehr gibt. Um so mehr Danke für den Aufwand ein beeindruckendes Model in the Luft bekommen

[@antoniomiguel3789]

Terrific; Bravo. That takes some talent to build such a beauty. I know from experience building air models.

[@garethhutchings4045]

Excellent. Quite splendid. Well done, and my heartiest congratulations.

[@philipbrailey]

Thanks for posting. Nice looking aeroplane.

[@stronzer59]

That Bird is All Class! An amazing job. I hope you get more service from her than the Original creation. Happy flying!!

[@rochditidjani]

Impressive machine. Remarkable attention to details. Excellent landing. Video capture leaves to be desired.

[@TR6Telos]

Even the sound is believable, Brilliant.

[@steveducell2158]

Love the accuracy of this model..........right down to that plume of blue smoke trailing behind. On a more serious note........ its very impressive.

[@dcav448]

So well done in every way. Bravo!

[@cgpyper7536]

Way too amazing for words. Thank you T.M.

[@alhernon]

Literally nobody: How about making a passenger ship fly? German Engineers: Halt mein Bier, bitte!

[@formerparatrooper]

Halt bitte mein Bier

[@Jefferson196]

I grew up by an R/C field back in the 1970-80s and never saw anything remotely close to this fine example. Hope its still flying congrats on a beautiful plane.

[@gmcjetpilot]

Amazing simply amazing... THANK YOU!

[@jeffcougar70]

I believe that was the smoothest landing I have ever seen!

[@TommyWylie]

Possibly the most marvellous machine I have ever seen!

[@thomasgeorgecastleberry6918]

Amazing, weird looking aircraft, although this is exactly what it looked like, it looks like it'd never get off the ground. Thanks for sharing

[@vonLubrich]

It was used to fly troops and supplies to Africa. the allies destroyed them after the war.

[@rosiehawtrey]

Ilya mouromets - look it up.

[@123sheepdip]

Unbelievable - What a beast. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@howey935]

What an amazing model aircraft the builders of this have done an amazing job, making a model this size not working is a big enough task but to get this thing to work as well as look amazing is no mean feat well done to the builders.

[@VgarajeSuRf]

Потрясающий флюгцойг! И 12 моторен - это очень круто! :)

[@Mudflap70]

Stunning!

[@ebenclukey7293]

Stunning aircraft and great production.

[@robbyschunki6566]

Vielen Dank für diesen schönen Anblick....Einfach nur ein Traum.!

[@Alpa_Chino]

very impressive. Even the landing was so smooth.

[@ronnormson]

Amazing craftsmanship! Be Proud! Has it been operated from water? Thanks so much that was truly impressive.

[@rigobertovalenzuela267]

WOW espectacular... y vuela mas alto que el original :)

[@razorrazorian1053]

lo estas confundiendo con el spruse goose pelotudo

[@BIGGBULLxxx]

That's a nice piece of art work...I wouldn't fly it anymore I would put it in a museum. 🤗

[@Kindle1234]

Such a beautiful airplane. Love the sound. Model airplanes my hobby for 60 years, but never seen anything like this aircraft. love to see it in person.

[@thomasnelson2463]

BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT! Perfect landing. It's so big, you could start carrying passengers!

[@ianbeale2527]

To see it take off and land from a large flat pond, that would be soooo awesome. What a fantastic a/c.

[@CPS2]

A fantastic air conditioning?

[@tubewatcher3100]

Calibrating twelve nitro engines for the same proportional output must have been a big headache.

[@bladerunner469]

Man This Plane to me is a BEAUTIFUL!!! thing to see in the Air

[@lordbyron3603]

That thing is so stable. Very nice. Well Done. And a perfect landing.....😄😁

[@wayneandrus307]

Incredible, simply incredible!

[@ChuckGlaus]

Absolutely awesome, great job!

[@RockinRedRover]

Wow, very impressive, and full kudos to the brave pilot.

[@Ninjija]

Impressive model. :) What's the start song? I know it's Jamiroquai - Too young to die, but what version? :)

[@gottlicherhammer]

At 3:52, I thought they cut to footage of a real DO X. Outstanding!

[@bigemugamer]

GORGEOUS!! Historically a beautiful aircraft, and such as well built model, looks like such a smooth flyer, would love to see this land and take off from water... provided she is seaworthy? regardless, a magnificent build. (stands and applaudes)

[@MrWmburr7]

Such finesse on take-off and landing!

[@eltouristoduo]

Awesome. This wing brought to you by 'Plank" lol. gotta love the nautical styling.

[@GradyWhite2007]

Great flying! That is the most impressive RC aircraft I've ever seen!

[@kcphillips1000]

Very impressive ,wondered how he was going to start that lot up !

[@zeroceiling]

Now this is a commitment!!

[@patmancrowley8509]

Danka! That was fabulous!

[@brandonandrew6844]

Nice video. Beautiful plane.

[@mescko]

Love, love, *love* flying boats. Even little (or little models of big) ones!

[@jeffreyrobinson3782]

Now that's what i call a flying boat well built and well flown
