Two Bleriot XI's - pt1

Don Coe & Alistair Clinton fly their Bleriot XI models.

[@craigsolomon4783]

In whatever scale,these aeroplanes are poetry in motion."to break the bonds of earth".

[@doncoe2]

Spot on, Craig! She's still flying and is almost as relaxing to fly as my Blackburn Monoplane. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioSQe4eje8udoJI

[@surfimp]

Fantastic work! And it's quite nice to see an expert builder who is also an excellent pilot - well done.

[@benjaminjeep3769]

Beautiful RC plane, and the sound is perfect. Very good job.....

[@doncoe2]

Thank you, Mr Jeep! It's still flying and winning prizes with it's new owner, James, a fellow club member!

So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 ) 🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 ) 🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 ) 🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 ) ⚠️ Quran

Superb model,very realistic flight ! Congrats and cheers from France !

[@andrewmagro7703]

this was just magnificent so majestic in the air i would love to own something like that as an arf is the closest i get to building very impressed great build and great pilot too

[@SnapPunchRobert]

That is One Awesome Oldie. Such good workmanship. Looks so Beautiful in the air and one the ground. Kudos to you and your build 👍.

[@bayg421]

I like the slow speed! Very relaxing to watch. I can't believe people were brave enough to fly those in real life. Guts!

[@doncoe2]

Thank you, BayG. Slow flying is the most satisfying part of the Game. But for really slow my Blackburn Monoplane beats the Bleriot hands down. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioSQe4eje8udoJI

[@gablou14]

great looking plane , nice flying too

[@larrykrise3609]

alright!love those old timer,s.had some when i flew rc.loved the power house.

[@aeromodelisme45]

Super pour cette réplique du célèbre avion !

[@gabcwabc2491]

Nice Plane. The first woman certified pilot was Harriet Quimby in 1911. She died flying a Bleriot. She was giving rides at a fair. There were no seat belts then. It has been said, her very over weight passenger sat in the back. He was seen leaning forward likely to try to talk to Harriet. He - fell out! This upset the airplane which threw her out! The plane landed without damage on a creek bed!

[@doncoe2]

Thank you - and all of the recent replies - for your comments. Nice bit of history too! FYI, the model is now in the hands of a fellow club member and we fly the Bleriot and my 1912 Blackburn Monoplane in close company whenever the chance arises!

[@stevemiller7433]

Is that Frank Zappa piloting it? How neat!

[@73F100]

You are braver than I am getting that close to that prop!!

[@societyofarchitecturalillu3987]

Yep - brave, bold and very old. Thank you.

[@bwitz22]

Good job , fantastic, very realistic fly .

[@doncoe2]

Thank you for your interest!

[@PerryCodes]

Holy effing work of art!

[@philipbrailey]

I'd rather watch this than 90% of r/c films. It's got meaning.

[@ronaldwitt2533]

Great job....hello from Kentucky

[@societyofarchitecturalillu3987]

Thank you, Ronald, for the kind words. The model is still up and running after 11 years!

[@TheTomsdirtwerks]

Thats the most realistic rc model plane ive seen.

[@doncoe2]

Thank you, Tom! I does me best 😃

[@vonSchwartzwolfe]

That sounds just like my motor bike😉 awesome plane.

[@doncoe2]

My 'bike at that time was a 'Fireblade' What's yours? BTW, the Bleriot is still flying and still sounds awesome, albeit with another owner. We fly it and my Blackburn Monoplane together as a duo whenever we can. See James flying at at Old Warden here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHLSmmSPYtl8m6c The Blackburn can be seen at kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioSQe4eje8udoJI

[@laprepper]

Christ man watch the arm around that prop!

[@Ihaveseenthings577]

Beeautiful airplane, but I would be a little more careful turning that Propeller...👽👍

[@日本愛國]

エンジンの音がイイですね、まさに風にのるですね。very good

[@imcarlvideos]

Jolly good show chaps.

[@jimbo2629]

Great model, beautifully built and flown. Watch out for that prop biting. It’s not a 7”by 4” on a Mills 0.75.

[@brijeshkapil6058]

Amazing ❤❤

[@doncoe2]

Thank you, Brijesh!

[@nigelparker5886]

A few years late to the party folks! Having rebuilt a Gnome 7 cylinder, 2 Anzani, 3 cylinder engines, 1 fan and 1 Y type, and listening to the first few minutes of dummy this and Perspex that....I didn’t have a clue what he was describing! Could someone please enlighten me? Cheers

[@thebrunelsinfonia735]

It would be a bit safer with a cut-out in the energiser circuit!! If anything can go wrong, one day it possibly will! A big prop to be so close to!!!!

[@ChrisZacho]

That guy's definitely got a pair to be starting it with his limbs so close. (at least he has them for the moment!) Great looking bird though, sounds great too.

[@ram3500rcu]

Nice job guys. Thanks for sharing.

[@Septimanien]

Très joli engin du temps des "faucheurs de marguerites", bravo.

[@UZI017]

Fantastic Plane !

[@n26fe34]

UUUUUUHHHHHHHH the Pilots Head nearly 30cm by the rotation Propeller..thats a NO GO..

[@pedrorebasacladera3548]

¡Precioso!

[@Holliethedog]

Do you also fly full size?To my mind, flight is the greatest invention after the wheel.How the pioneers flew without instruments to tell them of airspeed,groundspeed, attitude, etc, is amazing.I have flown gliders(non-qualified), and the work required from foot and hand to maintain attitude is very hard.

[@brayanrodriguez6208]

you are sick it is awesome i would love to more videos

[@timmo5443]

What a dangerous bloke.......nearly takes his nose off with the prop, then nearly runs into the photographer...

[@daviddredge1178]

How have you got any fingers left!

[@raypurchase801]

They look a bit tiny. How did Louis Bleriot fly the channel in such a small plane?

[@darrindwp]

Fantastic model but I was scared for you. Reaching over such a big running prop is an accident waiting to happen.

[@mrloydd8106]

This guy taught me to fly... Safe to say he has forgotten more than we will ever know! He doesn't make mistakes!

[@TheSakamura]

Where is the part 2 ?????

[@antoniomoura9347]

Lindo! Também estou a construir um kit do Mr. Mick Reeves (mas está atrasado)

[@michaelboyle7668]

The pilot was very depressed when he had to land.

[@doncoe2]

😀😀

[@yelsmlaugh]

Alistair flies.... Flys is amiss.

[@Aluminata]

Exquis!

[@Holliethedog]

great plane!what radio system do you use?

[@tonyprice5726]

What happened? it should have 3 cyl and floatation bags

[@n26fe34]

Spectrum ????? ohhh nooooo

[@UhtredRagnarsson1949]

2:36, This guy is going to get his face chopped off if he doesn't start exercising more caution.

[@LCMNUNES1962]

IS BLERIOT ? 14 BIS SANTOS DUMONT, BRASIL OK.

[@doncoe2]

No. It's based on the aircraft at the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden, UK. Thank you for your interest.

[@jeffrcrc2332]

his arm and brachial artery was an inch from prop and he had a guy holding ,no need for him to arch over, he is too into the exposition and forgets that it can cut through his skin in a flash , has lost respect for the danger , like most scientific types they believe because they understand their creation it could never hurt them tell that to Dr Frankenstein

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

JeffRcRc forgot to mention that you have spent a lot of time and money building that fine model, exposing yourself to the dangers of a craft knife, exposure to chemicals (adhesives and coverings etc.), whilst neglecting your friends and family. All that time could have been better spent by warning others about the dangers of getting off their backsides and doing something better than leading a pointless existence, and the money could have been spent on safety signs to place around your home, e.g. on the stairs, on every electrical socket, on the hot taps, and any other place that has the potential to cause harm around the home. If you are going to be a stupid twat at least be a right stupid twat, how Jeff can live with himself for being such a half-witted twat who does not understand what risk assessment is about I do not know.

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

You are a star Sir, Many Happy Returns for tomorrow. I should imagine that you fart more life out of your backside every day than Jeff will ever experience between his birth and his death. I'm not a real vicar as I bought my ordination off of Ebay, but I do hope that God takes good care of you on your Fireblade. Still riding at 85 makes you a role model to me, I'm a mere 55 and I only have a Honda Deauville, 700cc of mediocrity. Once again Sir, you are a star, Happy Birthday for tomorrow.

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

I'll join in your forgiveness of JeffRcRc, and appreciate your sympathy about the Deauville. I got the Deauville for work involving a lot of travelling and needing me to take a lot of kit and clothing. I did used to have a GSXR 750, with a tuned 1127 engine fitted it had over 160Hp so I know how that adrenaline rush feels.

[@stevelane5885]

Taking pointless risks will help you qualify for a Darwin Award that your surviving relatives can admire! Taking risks for the chance of gain is not pointless at all. That said, you have made a fine model there.

[@laprepper]

I was thinking the same thing, though less poetically.

[@diegodejaen736]

precioso

[@bussi7859]

That pilot did not think of safety or knew in witch direction the prop was to start, check at the beginning,
