one of the most impressive rc machines I've seen...

[@autogyro333]

Wow, the movement of the pilots and the level of detail are amazing.

[@shadovanish7435]

This R/C model is incredible! It looks, sounds & flies just like a full scale turboprop aircraft. Great piloting skills, too!

[@aerialbugsmasher]

Too bad he can't land worth a damn

[@AustNRail]

Love it when I see Australian markings on an incredible model aircraft. Out-Flaming-Standing. No seriously a fairdinkum legend there! Thanks for filming this amazing model.

[@grantm6514]

Well, pilot is Austrian, so as Jeremy Clarkson would say: "Austrian... Australian... whatever, same thing." 😆

[@markh1830]

looks just like the ones that fly over my house, except they dont normally have the tanks under the wings....

[@fluchterschoen]

1:37 God Bless this brave little man and his friend behind him! ❤ Thank you both for your service 🎖 My Uncle Willie made a RC Spitfire where the pilot had radio-controlled arms and legs and these were used to operate the yoke and rudder pedals. Unfortunately on one tragic flight the radio-controlled pilot ejected and the plane crashed into a farmhouse. The pilot splashed down in a boating pond and was run over and killed by a RC German torpedo boat - the owner of the boat claimed it was accidental, but you just can't trust those Nazi Bosch.

[@Iwishiwasflying]

Flying an Australian RAAF = thank you so much

[@larrybaker5316]

wow, love the mechanics on the pilot, real look and sound of a turboprop, just superb all the way around, and thanks for putting a camera onboard.

[@max1chase166]

Best RC plane I have seen yet, the sound is do real and the most exciting was to see the pilot and co-pilot move, so cool.

[@terrycrooke1]

I'm usually disapointed by the lack of scale flight proformance of over powered scale models.... THIS DID NOT DISAPPOINT !!

[@skypilot23]

the foam texture and gloss of the black cockpit panel drew my eye- a flat black treatment might be cool

[@ohiorc5586]

She sounds like a real plane inside and out haha

[@Brock-Landers]

Best five landings I've seen all day.

[@b747skyguy]

A little PIO (pilot induced oscillation) aside from that and taxiing at 30kts, very nice scale-like flying.

[@hobsonbeeman7529]

That is an awesomely built aircraft …. Great functions and real sound!

[@1943L]

Lovely model with attention to detail, including the scale take off angle. Brilliant.

[@ernestogiron5297]

That plane is absolutely gorgeous!, just looking at the red painting quality you can have a glimpse of the overall professional craftsmanship of the model And the startup sound of the jet engine with the propeller is just amazing The moving pilots are a scale delight And if that would be not enough, the flight performance of the aircraft is phenomenal, it flies flowlessly the slow rolls (excellent pilot also) Congratulations! you have a fine piece of art there One of the best RC airplanes I've ever seen

[@asephaerul7674]

Great PC 21, Great Pilot, Great video....totally awesome...👍👍👍

[@ES130853]

Modellbau in höchster Vollendung und viel Liebe zum Detail. Super! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@CSltz]

This is what got me so interested in this hobby. The outside looks of these planes with the details screws and rivets along with the information tags. Nothing but incredible. I must admit that I prefer the military more than the others. But they all are incredible when you get into this level. I’ve seen the navigation lights and lights in the engine nozzles to suggest after burners. But the craziest was a F-86 with the pilot dressed in that era flight suit and gloves. That even had the Air Force emblem on the back of the glove. Let alone everything detailed in the cockpit. And fuselage.

[@bruceyoung1343]

Sweet plane and great flying

[@johnvcramer5517]

Great take off nice flight, loved the look out the cockpit window.

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

I would be absolutely scared to death about loosing control over this fine piece of an aero plane.

[@nicowaitforitstinson1557]

I hope you kept the pilot animations a secret the first time your friends saw it fly. Imagine getting an unexpected wave from the pilot after watching it in flight 😅

ATEMBERAUBEND GUT❗️👍🏼Gratulation👏🏼 Etwas vom Allerbesten das ich jemals gesehen habe! Nicht nur das wunderschöne Modell, auch die perfekte Pilotage des Piloten mit seiner absolut exakten und feinfühligen Flugsteuerung sind Weltklasse. Auch das geflogene Programm mit schnellen und langsamen Vorbeiflügen sind absolut sehenswert und perfekt vorgeführt. Einziges kleines Manko: Der PC-21 hat keine Schweizer Immatrikulation und Bemalung..😅 Spass! Herzliche Grüsse aus der Schweiz, Boris

[@Ianduncanqld1]

Truly amazing plane credit to who built it

[@patriot369]

Nice landing..👍👍👍

[@broderp]

Such movement has been possible for years and is nothing new. The RC industry moved away from it due to the weight it use to add to the planes. Super cool to see it. On a side note, the inside camera was struggling with image stabilization, is this plane that jittery?

[@JetShopBoys]

The cockpit dashboard on which it was mounted was fairly loose, i think that's what caused most of it.

[@sebinamuwanga]

Very impressive! Thanks for the video.

[@lookylook570]

[@suecobandito8954]

These pilots don’t need a/c nor do they complain.

[@surveyordave]

wow! so smooth

[@coryturner9140]

You should rubber isolate you your fpv camera so it doesn’t vibrate so much. Cool video and sweet Pilatus!

[@JetShopBoys]

You're right, we didn't have the time to mount it properly-it was during a meeting so we just asked them on the spot if they're ok with us sticking some velcro on their dash.

[@tayloremriectx]

They should set this up like a fpv drone. So it feels like your in the cockpit

[@Nel33147]

That was really cool 😊

[@joseaguilar5020]

Excellent work

[@capnhardway]

Now that's another level, I'm just waiting on my 400mm Corsair 😂

[@motionsic]

Wow, what a gorgeous model! I would love to fly one from the cockpit! The vibration/jello killed the in cockpit visuals though.

[@superskullmaster]

The joy of flying RC is that you get to see the shape of the aircraft all the time. Flying FPV, you might as well fly something ugly since you won’t see it anyway.

[@motionsic]

@@superskullmaster if all air show pilots think the same way, are all audiences happy to see ugly planes? Do most RC pilots at the field fly alone, or like to show off their flying skills to others at the field? The answer is pretty obvious. Also, I like flying both FPV and LOS, so I get dual use out of one plane.

[@memcrew1]

I was surprised to see that much vibration from a turboprop.

[@petergebert4817]

Probably the prop was not perfectly balanced. The core engine was not vibrating, as the frequency of the rotor would be way too high to get big things like a cam to shake like that (and it would be hearable as an rpm related whine of the engine).

[@julesdomes6064]

@@petergebert4817Yes, the vibration seems to be in sync with propeller rpm, as can be seen during the aerobatics.

[@joelrudzinski6829]

Wow!

[@guscarlson7021]

You Austrians have the coolest toys.

[@rwedel738]

I wonder if the camera shaking is because the prop isn't balanced

[@ADV-Frank]

I love it

[@frisk151]

Where is all the functioning "glass" in that cockpit? I outfitted my turbine EC-145 over a decade ago with all the fun glass stuff.. You should try it... German, of course.. Other than that.. Fine looking and flying plane outside of the vibrations your camera is picking up inside... Balance the propellers?

Saw a similar powered craft in weston park in 2022
