DLE 222 in der Pitts Prometheus von Patric Leis

[@skooter2767k]

That is by FAR the best scale built Pitts ever and best scale aerobatics I have ever seen!

[@craigwest8265]

I sure would love to buy a set of the plans you made for this model. Beautiful workmanship and outstanding, realistic flying qualities. Bravo!

[@scutt123455]

that is one of the best rc planes i have ever seen, great job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it man

[@microdon2]

Wow - a VERY beautiful plane, and very nice flying, too. Nice work!

[@bitemykrank1970]

There is so much to like in this video, it's impossible to decide what i like best. The video is great, filmed by someone that can work a camera correctly. The model is great, beautiful to look at, and flies like a full size one. The INSIDE of the model at the very start of the video was most impressive, the construction alone is worth seeing, the finished flying model is an added bonus, i would have struggled to cover that airframe up, it's just so gorgeous naked....but, having said all that, i think the most impressive thing about this video is the poor crippled pilot, how brave is he ??, after such an impressive display in the first half of the video, at 1:39 you can see him BRAVELY being helped into the cockpit to go out and do it again....what a trooper, especially being paraplegic like that, needing to be lifted into the seat, unable to walk on his own and all....how embarrassing.......

[@edgeflyer1]

+Bite My Krank many thanks :-)

[@hannes_lutzenberger]

Perfekter Nachbau und super geflogen! Tolle Kombination aus Pilot und Maschine! Glückwunsch, gefällt mir sehr gut!

[@robytryall]

It's like I'm watching Skip Stewart's routine scaled down a bit, nice flight!

[@robmeador8971]

If I didnt know any better, I'd think Skip Stewart himself was piloting this aircraft! Excellent flying!

[@BigWheelHawaii]

Great Video, "Mahalo" for posting... What a great airplane, "Master-Craftsman" ... What a work of art, just beautiful...

[@wehyt001]

This is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! Is that Skip flying the airplane?? Wow...

[@TheYAK54]

Geat plane and great demo ; What is the prop ? and the RPM ? Thanks.

[@katanamd]

Wonderful scale flying, I love to see that! Looks like it lands a bit fast, though :P The hover took away a little bit of the "real" feeling, but I'm sure I would have tried it as well.

[@Stirlo3Mtr260]

Do you have a website for the build or more information this is friggen cool.. Well done...

[@toast47624]

Oh to be a few months old again! I'd say strap me in dad. I'm inspired. Just working my way into lage scal now. Those bib 4 cylinder 2 strokes sound bloody good!

[@MFGKirchdorf]

Klasse Aufnahmen und eine super vorgeführte Pitts. ☆★☆ tumbs up ☆★☆

[@ezifly]

If that kid can fly like that now, imagine what he will do when he grows up

[@Nems271]

And to think I´ve been near the real thing!! The flying style is almost identical!! very very nice.

[@wehyt001]

Do you plan to add a Skip Stewart pilot figure in the cockpit?? I hope so!!

[@Hyprmtr]

Was this a prototype DLE 222? The crank case looks very different.

[@petyahawk]

FANTASTIC !! Congratulations !!

[@mford739]

What is the weight? Throttle sounded almost wide open in the hover at 1:30 mark and it wasn't really holding the hover, it was dropping.

[@GHOSTRIDERNOMAD]

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS LOOKS AND PERFORMS JUST BEAUTIFUL

[@CarPEDiemas]

Very nice flight and nice Plane as well ! Thumbs up ! I have a Pitts 12 2,4m with DLE 111. What Smoke liquid do you use ?

[@edgeflyer1]

Hi Flipper, i don't konw which oil Patric use. i think 3W in the Video, greets Uwe

[@robepley2709]

I would really like to know how much this Pitts weighed ready to fly. The 222 looks like it is doing a really good job. I have a build going on right now and I am desperate to find just the right power plant. Knowing what your weight is would help me make that ultimate decision. As a side note, my son has one on a PAU 43% Edge 540. We should be posting maiden videos by the end of March.

[@edgeflyer1]

Hi Rob, the weight is nearly under 25 kg :-)

[@robepley2709]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

[@PatricLeis]

Rob Epley sorry, but Uwe's answer was not 100% correct. My Prometheus (the plane in this video) went threw lots of modifications during her live. The 2011 config you see here was the heaviest one (26.2kg). With different Prop, new wing design and reduced weight I gained lots of performance, you can see that on another newer video Uwe created from my Prometheus here on KZbin

[@robepley2709]

Very cool... so do you feel the 222 will fly a 50 percent Hempel Edge?

[@badkeene]

are you flying with the little kid inside , Thats verry cool !

[@Jewafly]

Klasse Model. Super geflogen! Ich weis nur nicht was mir besser gefällt. Das Modell oder der junge Pilot? Da bin ich ja mal auf den Bericht gespannt. Auf jeden Fall ein tolles Video Uwe.

[@PatricLeis]

The 222cc engine is not causing the high weight. This Pitts was designed and build for the typical Pitts Style aerobatics and to get this you need a higher wingload as you normaly have on modern 3d aerobatic constructions, and as you see it works perfectly. The weight comes from the massive solid construction and lots of scale details. Normaly she pulls out of hover, slow but she does, don't know why I head less power at the day we took this video.

[@stevegauth30]

That's a serious machine.looks like a perfect match for the little guy.

[@achogg33]

Awesome!! What kit is it? Where did you purchase it from

[@edgeflyer1]

It is no kit, it was scrached built by Patric Leis.

[@ronaldhead5883]

Hah ! Now that is funny ! Would be interesting to know how many hours were logged through the design and build... the cost of materials as well.. ? Obviously some 'mad skills' involved in both the construction and the piloting... Outstanding!!

[@PatricLeis]

Time was about 800h of building. But the Airplane is never finished and a work in progress. Right now I'm building a new set of wings like the new one on Skips Prometheus. And yes, Skip knows about it and supported me with many pics and measurements.

[@ronaldhead5883]

Obviously many hours of thought and preparation went into it before even cutting the first piece.. your passion for the plane is apparent in every detail. I believe it will be a long time before we see another as well built and as beautiful as yours.. be proud.

[@ChurumbelaVsCucarach]

wHAT IS THE MATERIAL YOU JUST TO BUILD THE AIRPLANE ?

[@Agrar_DE]

Skip Stewart is it you haha nice flight very nice Modell 🤘🏽

[@KATANA784]

Geil geflogen wie stellt ihr eigentlich die Rauchmenge ein nach Erfahrung? oder mit einem Poti am Boden bei Vollgas?

[@edgeflyer1]

Über die Servowegbegrenzung...ausprobieren und fliegen bis das Optimum erreicht ist.

[@kenlupold7967]

Very nice sweet plane Love it!!!!

[@WildHBill]

What prop are you running on the DLE-222??

[@Benwade90]

How many GPH will a rig like this burn?

[@RoboTekno]

So I'm guessing babies are about 1/4 to 1/3 scale? :P

[@KeeganGA]

looks EXACTLY like the real one....well done

[@PushhprajShrinivasAmeenn]

wooow coool....friend can u pls tell me what is the weight of airframe without engine ?

[@edgeflyer1]

Oh i'am sorry, i have no informations about that :-(

[@tataBulik]

Great video and music themes!!!

[@TheEdgesmasher]

This is awesome man...

[@scottanderson8908]

what brand of kit is this, can i get it in an arf

[@edgeflyer1]

It is no kit, it was scrached built by Patric Leis.

[@kingelingie]

but how heavy is it?

[@technikyou8921]

What is the average fuel consumption???

[@edgeflyer1]

I don't know, sorry.

[@robertlafnear4865]

HOW MUCH ?... I WANT IT,...... HOW MUCH FOR THE PLANE ?

[@AlexQawesome_guitar]

Cool plane baby must of enjoyed that!!!😀

[@dormantsuperhero]

That kid is one hell of a pilot:)

[@SybrenR]

[@PatricLeis]

There is no kit available, the Airplane is scratch build by me, sorry
