First flight in the Scrapyard Monster (aka the Rusty Baron)

[@flyingfries1027]

Thanks for the video, Jonathan :) Regarding ground handling, as long as there is not too much wind (about 15 knots) It's not that terrible if you trim down a little bit (or push on the yoke). You can even drift your way through the parking area and taxi lanes. (or just make donuts on the deck of a carrier, that's up to you ;) )

[@StuTheMoose]

That is without doubt the most insane work of genius ever put in a flight sim. I haven't laughed so hard in ages!

[@Criisko]

Still better and more realistic than Bredok3D or Captain Sim planes.

[@ceegnz]

That's truly awesome ! And when you look through the manual it just gets more and more awesome - the breakers all work, it'll do aerobatics up to -2/+4g, it will climb to FL370 and from there get back to the ground in around 90 seconds, it has white or coloured dimmable interior lights, if you use the flaps and drop the ballast it'll take off almost like a helicopter, and if you arm the auto ballast re-attach and auto flap retraction when it slams into the ground it'll stop like it just caught the wire on a carrier landing. Plus of course - "Flying Fries", right - it has a drawer full of french fries.

[@Frankestein01nl]

and please test " all" the breakers and the " snooze" ;) There's so much to this monster,,it's an hilarious hoot to fly...fly it like you built/stole it.

[@michelgagne2480]

Absolutely brilliant. The Wright brothers would approve. Now for a cross atlantic journey...

[@etienneleroux6253]

I'm generally not a fan of parody aircraft but I'm low-key impressed. The texturing is insane for a free aircraft

[@botbeats1]

I've had the opportunity to fly this plane in the sim and it is now BY FAR! my favorite bush plane. I think it is worthy of payware. I would have loved to see you drop the weights, and Blow the horn, talk about the sunglasses and show the power meter. Also you said it's not that fast, but for a bush plane flying at almost 200 knots, I think its pretty fast.

[@ravelino123]

A wonderful airplane to have fun. Fantastic, already installed and playing with it. Thanks by the tip Jon.

[@d6cutu6e]

There was a Scrap Heap Challenge TV Series, usually building cars. For a world final one year, I think UK, France and USA from memory, they had to build and fly a plane using scrap from a ‘yard’. Not sure if this was the inspiration. Good to see some simple fun, but done in such a detailed way. And free for others to enjoy, amazing.

[@jonbeckett]

I don't think I ever saw that episode!

[@outdoorsdelmarva5691]

LOve how you put your daughter in the cockpit for the test flight. Too funny. A nice rendition of Mad Max vehicles...love it. Great video.

[@Squirel]

What an absolute hoot!! I think I sense an adventure along the lines of "Escape From a Desert Island".

[@Verticalspeed23]

Thank you for the laugh. I was barely able to eat my lunch, giggling like a mad man.

[@krozareq]

Racecar engine, so no magnetos or mixture (has electronic fuel injection). It's a study level plane. Just insert coins and GOOOOO :D

[@hlebo]

Love the video. "Ballast?" Looks to me like large barbell weights stolen from a local gym!

[@GumperVanLier]

Too funny and cleverly clever. Lol. The blue and white sticker on the side is the Laughing Man from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex anime series.

[@deepredson]

Whooo! I've really been looking forward to this Capt. Sim Upgrade! Barty

[@eldersoul9694]

"You're flying that... thing? You're braver than I thought." ;) Looks like a bird I need to own, thanks for the video!

[@rustecr8499]

I'm going to attempt to land this delightful bundle of rusty spoons and chicken wire on the roof of the Tate Modern. Bravo!

[@loiphin]

Heheheh, that was really funny! Thanks for sharing Jonathan :)

[@manic_miner]

what a wonderfully creative imagination and skill some people have. Love seeing this kind of bonkers.

[@davidthayer6590]

Now this exists, you know that somebody's going to build one in real life

[@Frankestein01nl]

The author is against it... but.... i'm expecting a " hold my beer" soon enough! hahaha

[@ClovesPastrana]

The best plane in Simulator up to the present moment, today I fly this incredible machine!

[@Danko05]

I saw the trailer and video showing all the features, so crazy and funny, totally awesome hahaha... Can't wait to go back to the Sim and fly it...!!! By the way, from what I saw, you drop that ballast and the Monster comes out...!!!

[@bstikkel]

Wonderful creative plane. If I am correct, the part behind the engine to the tail, consists of tho household ladders... hilarious!

[@jonbeckett]

You are correct

[@cyberdami]

Sometimes.... A turd can be polished 🤪 Wonderfully awful.... Beyond Thunderdome Man! 🤣

[@marcusbruzzo]

this is awesome! Flight should be all about it.. The fun.

[@MilitaryVehicleReviews]

😂 this thing is awesome! Great review haha 💯 love all the laughing I was doing the same.

[@jokletox]

"Vilebrequin Approved" sur la dérive 🤣

[@yams900]

She's gorgeous ! Mine kind of airplane :) Thx Jon for sharing, I'm currently downloading my own

[@jonbeckett]

Glad you like it!

[@alexandremarcelino7360]

Como um entusiasta da aviação, fico impressionado com o que se pode fazer com uma pilha de material reciclável.

[@ArrRoh]

This is just brilliantly hilarious!! Love how funny you found it too 😂

[@jonbeckett]

It's great :)

[@Flyboy_Gospel]

That cockpit is BREEEZY... lol Its a brilliant flying machine

[@michalpetrilak3976]

Hi man, clicking on the sunglasses below the panel switches the propeller disc visualization to non-stroboscopic.

[@ToBCreations]

Hilarious!😂 It's like something out of Mad Max. Funny and very creative. Being based on recycling, it doesn't look very environmentally friendly though, with the black smoke pouring out. 😂

[@mikecoffee100]

perhaps if I was stuck on a deserted island and had parts to build a plane id would deffo have a go to try to get off the island lol

[@wilga80]

Nicely done! 😄

[@brainflight7144]

What a wonderful presentation that made me laugh a lot. I am sure that you will create another film after studying the good manual. There is so much more to this machine.

[@roxg854]

Hilarious! Fantastic mod for fun flying. Thank you for showing it off. 😂

[@TJ.Turner]

It looks like a plane that could be used in a Mad Max movie.

[@Doug4817]

Fantastic, just love it

[@normg2242]

Hahahahaha love it...!!! Now someone should do one of those African home-built soap box helicopters with ceiling fans for a rotor ... hahahahaha

[@juliashenandoah3965]

What do we have here, a diesel- and pistonengine-punk airplane? :D

[@ysteineker7001]

Great fun - may test it....

[@antonynaude3372]

the wheel clamp 😂

[@CCitis]

Super creative... cool.

[@petergibbs]

Your new Sunday night aircraft Jonathan? 😄

[@Frankestein01nl]

Fly it like you stole it! And don't forget to eat a couple of fries from the drawer whilst yer at it.

[@chrisstrobel3439]

That thing rocks! Got character 😬👍

[@WheezinGeezerTV]

The only thing I really hate about flying it is the tinted front window, it's so hard to see through.

[@pigeonpallz1733]

To turn easy just put on flaps and throttle up a little while using differential brake and push forward enough to get the tail off the ground and there you go lol . Easy

[@bobwestwood7824]

Brilliant, what a hoot 😂

[@einherz]

i watch and wait will you drop this balance weight or not:) lol, and then i wrote that, you talking about the balance hahaha... why do you even fly with it:)?

[@kennethnaunton3323]

Looks like something out of Mad Max lol

[@lvwpy]

OMG! Stabilizers are so small!!!

[@zombieapocalipse2020]

Made by the A team. That flaps leaver handle looks sketchy

[@torquaymouse2236]

Crazy fun

[@mikecoffee100]

Blimeyyyy quite amusing realy

[@helicopterovirtual-msfs6254]

Excelente 👏

[@lacnoslen5644]

that's the best plane i ever seen you fly,man!

[@itssFlexx]

This thing is so fun lol

[@anotherv79]

I take it that thing is air cooled...

[@leerose9436]

How on earth did that get a Certificate of Airworthiness 🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂 so Cool that I might just have to get it 😀👍🙏🏻❤️

[@Paradyski]

that's crazy lol

[@oztez9222]

Classic lol😂

[@jossefg12]

Did you not bother to read the manual?

[@jonbeckett]

I was following my nose on purpose :)

[@2WheeledMohawk]

Screw PMDGs 777, Inwanna fly this beast 😆🤣

[@AV8R_1]

Usually, I loathe gimmicky aircraft add-ons. The flying pizza slices, and other dumb shit like that. I always think they litter the marketplace, but this is definitely an exception! I love the effort that went into making this extremely unique! I love how the entire tail is just a step ladder! 😂😂😂 Every time I take a close look I find something new! Love the bicycle frames! LMAO! Trash to treasure!

[@Rolandus60]

The plane is very easy to fly, and the idea behind the parts used is great. The landing, however, is terrible. Immediately after touching down, the plane spins in all directions and is impossible to maneuver on the ground (XBoxX with Velocity One Flightstick). I've never had that happen with any of my over 100 planes!

[@realLuisGiordano]

Will E. Coyote's airplane

[@twistedyogert]

Redneck engineering at it's finest. Safety is for city folk.
