E-Flite BEECH D18 BNF - MAIDEN with Multi on-board cameras

The long awaited flight of my newest aircraft, The Beechcraft D18. Adding a new look printed cockpit layout and placing various cameras around the aircraft for a great in-flight experience. 1st the Beach then the sports ground...Hope you enjoy the flights.

She is a ‘Ripper’ aircraft to fly Kevin… like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHy6dGaMYs2jg5Ysi=M1nkW4tRMNqaNaLb

Cool plane and great angle views....really neat.

Glad you enjoyed it Roger. A great aircraft to fly

[@rlbutterfield]

Beautiful plane! Great maiden. 👏🏻👐🏻👏🏻👐🏻👍🏻🙂. Tricky winds. Well done. Very nice detail in the cockpit. Awesome video, Noel. Great camera angles.

[@Bellairvideo]

Hi Randy, yes she is a lovely aircraft & much better at the park than the beach to fly out of that wind. Thank you indeed

[@MrTurboparker]

Nice flying! Loved the multiple camera views!

[@Bellairvideo]

Hi Joel? A great aircraft indeed. Handled the cameras so well due to its size. A big thank you mate!

[@MrTurboparker]

@@Bellairvideo You bet! Well-deserved! 👍

[@Bellairvideo]

Wonderful Joel, Noel

[@leocadle]

Nice, another plane I wouldn't mind flying one day!

[@Bellairvideo]

You would like this one or the twin Timber Leo. A few F lying today at the Park.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Noel what a great edit again! This is such a beauty, and with all the views (in cockpit is awesome!) it is even better! Nice flying my friend. Look like this is right up your alley.

[@Bellairvideo]

Two planes thanks to you but i do wish i could have ordered via your site but sadly no overseas freight allowed. Wonderful aircraft mate.👍👍🇦🇺🇺🇸

[@paulriggs42]

That looks like a rather nice model plane, thanks for sharing

[@Bellairvideo]

A very nice aircraft to fly Paul. Thank you indeed

Great maiden my friend. I still have to maiden mine😊 Big salute from Slovenia. Pilot Robert

[@Bellairvideo]

Hi Robert, Sooo looking forward to your flight. I hope you & family are all ok & safe with all that summer heat. Many thanks for watching, I really appreciate it my friend.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

@@Bellairvideo we really have some strange weather this year. Heat waves, storms for the last 14 days and almost like tornados. We had hail last night. And every day its so humid. Sick Noel. The weather is changing.

[@Bellairvideo]

We have been watching the news over here of the conditions you have been experiencing. We will probably have a hot summer in the Southern hemisphere but for now winter had been cool but not freezing. Very calm today so i can fly. I always look at that beautiful tree you have at the end of your runway for the seasons. Keep safe & healthy Robert.

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

Wow! Beech at the beach! You must be thrilled to bits, both with the model and that fab footage you captured. I loved the in-cockpit view that captured the sound of the twin motors. Awesome.

[@Bellairvideo]

Ohhhh i was. I just love see thru cockpits Gina. Great spots to enclose camera for that realistic flight experience. I have a Dji Mini pro drone that has the new oleo goggles & motion 2 controller & the experience of feeling you are in the cockpit is amazing. You turn your hand in any direction & the drone follows. I will send you a link so you can both see. It is expensive kit but i have used drones since they came out for my filming work but gives the pilot a similar experience of hiring a fast full size aircraft for the same price for 3 hrs. Would be great at your property chasing your co pilot around eh?

@@Bellairvideo Thanks, Noel!

[@DonsRCAirplanes]

What a wonderful video my friend. It looks like it handles the wind OK, and it really is a beautiful plane. It’s nice to see it fly in different locations, but I do like the beach the best. Have a wonderful day as always, talk soon

[@Bellairvideo]

Hey Don, funny that each time i go to the reserve there are other model flyers there. Yesterday two guys had the Air tractor both 1.5m & umx plus a Timber evolution. So happy with the 18 & the cockpit layout. Thanks indeed

[@IansRCExploits]

Very nice plane, and great maiden flight Noel 😀👍

[@Bellairvideo]

Hey Ian, thank you indeed. It is such a lovely plane & would do very well off your grass strip at the park. Regards to you & Cheryl.

[@Isleofwightr.c-ec2ef]

Wonderful maiden flight noel, there is something about a twin engine aircraft, they sound great and lots of power, that cross wind on the beach makes landings difficult but you landed safely , nice flying...jeff.

[@Bellairvideo]

G’day Jeff, yes, much better at the reserve as more space to handle any directional winds. The beach, I only have east west. Thank you. Enjoy your summer.😎

[@tomheetderks9997]

cool cockpit detailing, and I had no idea the view would be so clear through the plastic- may have to try a camera in mine -:). Great camera angles, awesome location, and presumably a bible verse of the day at the end. ( or your name is actually 1John 1:4 🙂) keep up the great work ! 👊👊👍

[@Bellairvideo]

G’day Tom, great to hear from you & that you may try a camera in the cockpit. I attached the detailed instruments graphic on RC Nation & Rc Groups sites if you wanted to print it out to size. Each video posted has a bible verse at the end so hope it can inspire someone watching🙏 Did you see the maiden of the Twin Timber? Interesting cam angles?@ our nearby beach. Regards mate Noel

[@tomheetderks9997]

@@Bellairvideo G'day back to you -:) Fantastic, thanks for the information, and no I haven't watched it yet, but I will check it out👍

[@goodcopbadcop9872]

Great video! Just so everyone knows, flying from sand will most likely shorten the life of your motor. There is all sorts of magnetic bits in sand that get stuck in the magnets which will lead to premature failure of the motor. Very hard to prevent and impossible to remove.

[@Bellairvideo]

Thanks for the advice. I do gave many aircraft i have been flying off sand for around 6 years with no problems with any motors ..other than some rust on the gear screws by i tend to spray silicone after the flights

[@tedh173]

Nice plane and video. Could you tell me how wide is the plane without the 2 wings connected. I need to see if it fit my car trunk. Thanks.

[@Bellairvideo]

Hi there, it is 860mm wide at body
