When the pilot waved I dropped my coffee. : ) I felt like I "was there". Thank you!

[@jacksavage197]

Who could give this wonderful aircraft a thumbs down? Small minded people.

[@P51]

or people looking for validation by your reaction to their thumbs down?

[@sampsonlll1825]

This guy didn't just take it to another level; he created a whole new level! Great stuff!

[@gerardmichel5954]

So realistic take off, flight, landing, awesome. Like the arm of the pilot moving a real plus. 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😎

[@larrydee8859]

Excellent, realistic model, flight and incredibly realistic sound!!! Amazing!!!

[@Peasmouldia]

Really beautiful flight, looks so realistic.Bleriot got so much right at a time when there was no answer to layout and no flight manuals. Thank you.

[@aeromodeller1]

Raymond Saulnier designed it.

[@barkebaat]

Fantastic build & flying - thanks !

[@CaseyFinSF]

Sounds absolutely perfect!

[@thorick590]

Impressive. I do have to wonder sometimes though. If you're making something that big it seems not too much of a leap to just build a full size plane that a person could fly in.

[@jeffmullinix7916]

That was what is called a high speed pass of the day .

[@youtube.youtube.01]

Beautiful construction and flight! It's the best I have seen in a few years.

[@peterpetersen4619]

Großartig! Endlich mal ein Modell dass nicht völlig über motorisiert wie eine wilde Hummel über den Himmel jagd. Einfach schön!

[@mr.hainie2543]

WOW, stunningly realistic!👏👏👏

[@letvalentino100]

Хорошее воспроизведение аэроплана, красивый пилотаж! Классная посадка! Спасибо за видео.

[@Breenild]

Sensationelles Modell!!

[@keithwhisman]

Just beautiful, first monowing fighter I believe.

[@Ohio-PPG-Trike-Adventures]

Big two thumbs up. I wish my takeoffs were that smooth. Clear skies and clear prop to you.

[@nickrupp2336]

That is a thing of beauty.

[@BALAZSER1]

Incredible build, and flight👍👍👏👏 The pilot wave was a awesome touch👏👏👏 Very nice!!!

[@grahamaindow8894]

Brilliant. Even the engine sounds right!

[@sem1312]

Шикарно выполненная модель и красивый полет!!!!!

[@wellingtonwdl9650]

Wow wow amazing ✌🇧🇷

[@mikewalker2613]

I wish I could have seen this live. So realistic it is like time travel.

[@deadstick8624]

Great model -- just as realistic in looks, sound, flight and fragility as the real thing.

[@einsamerwolf567]

Einfach nur Geil!! 👍🏻💪

[@robertcieslak1861]

Beautiful flight and sound, and it was flown like a full size Bleriot. Excellent!

[@fargknob]

Well done....thanks

[@deldridg]

Wow - what a beautiful experience all around - beautiful model, expert piloting, camerawork and production! Many thanks. Looks like 2 axis control so it must have been quite something to tune those wings for level flight! Many thanks from Sydney, Aust - Dave

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Simply fantastic!

[@jeffmullinix7916]

Was that a wave or the middle finger !

[@andrescombagomez8145]

Que hermosura

[@abccobalto8288]

Beautiful plane!

[@americanspirit8932]

GREAT JOB, FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

[@danielraynaud2013]

Réaliste !...Super !....Du feu de dieu !!!

[@Flybrei]

Super Teil 👍

[@shanerRC]

Absolutely awesome. Man, you gotta trust your engine tuning to fly like that.

[@abc123546879]

Great flight.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jayfmiller]

Too cool for words!

[@paulhammersley4562]

look's and sound's great, well done,

[@tonyfrancesco3701]

Beautiful plane.

[@briantbradshaw3071]

Beautiful aircraft 👍🏻👍🏻

[@bruceburns1672]

Who was the first aircraft manufacturer to come up with the standard wing layout we see here with this aircraft rather than what the Wright brothers design .

[@dsharpness]

That Brazalian with the first airplane☺

[@ttmallard]

Very nicely made RC! It's similar to Whitehead's design that was first to fly under power before the Wright's, who disputed the flight for having no photos taken while plenty of witnesses were present, a difference the wings of his used an Asian bow kite style without rigid stays for shape, it had a long triangular section to the tail and a 12hp motor.

[@chich7089]

Brilliant!!!!

[@azzir325]

Wonderful! I am curious as to the turning. Was wing warping used? I did not see ailerons. Or was this a simple 3 channel with rudder only used for turn? Thank you.

[@bigneutron77]

Love the wave

[@canofanger]

Wow!

[@abc123546879]

Cool a one handed flighting.

[@simply-phil]

Hammer geiles Modell 😎👍 hab ich auch schon in Neuburg a.d. Donau bestaunen dürfen

[@99bits46]

never knew a plane could take off at such low speed

[@mpmyprojects6687]

It is a matter of wing design. If you design the wing to create lots of lift at low speed you will end up with much drag. So your plane will not be a fast fighter. If you design your wing for high cruise speeds you will need a higher take off speed as this wing is likely to produce less lift a lower speeds. Hence flaps were introduced to alter the shape of the wing in order to get much lift at low speeds and and be able to cruise at higher speeds. A flap simply gets out of the way when no longer needed, you end up with less drag.

[@giannimoscottorc5441]

Nice video

[@jeffmullinix7916]

The Pilot in the Bleriot is saying HELP . Where is Irland .

[@joe27954]

Musstest du eine Scheune einreissen für das viele Holz. Tollstes Ding, dass ich je gesehen haben. Viel Glück

[@mjproebstle]

wow!

[@nunugod4327]

Amazing

[@thisnicklldo]

Scale must be around 1:1.6. Just from the wingspan of 4.8m given in the notes to the video and assuming this is a model of the 1909 variant of the Bleriot XI (which it might not be) which had a span of 7.8m approx. Though there were many variants, but it must be somewhere around 1 : 1.6 or so. I'd love to know more about that self-made engine, it looks a beaut.

[@orangmakan]

Wie die Sprecher den herunter komplimentieren wollen weil "zu wenig Zeit ist" finde ich schon ein starkes Stück. Das war ja nun kein ewig langer Flug!

[@6easton3wallace6]

I would love to see RC emergency vehicles respond when these things crash 😅😂 Don't want crashes, but had to say it 😅

[@M1X711]

Good but . May i make a un visual fly

[@abc123546879]

Not fast but great flight.

[@fdaygo7794]

I want one

[@Sora4el7elegido2]

Parece un avion hecho con palillos de dientes....

[@daviddavids2884]

thanks for posting. we can all be grateful to bleriot; notwithstanding the FLAWS in this (ancient) design. at 1:25, it appears that the profile of the horizontal-stab is NOT symmetrical. if so, the stab is making UNWANTED lift; AT THE TAIL. at the same time, this model has a Tail-heavy dom; due in part, to the (far-aft) 'location' of the vert-stab, the use of a (heavy) tail wheel assembly and the use overly-massive framing components, distant from the cg/c-m. googletranslate

[@nsturnbull47]

Hi David Davids. Yes you are correct in that the Bleriot X1 did indeed have a lifting tail section. I spoke to a chap at the Shuttleworth collection and he said the full size one there has it's C of G way back at about 75 % of the wing width (chord)

[@DARisse-ji1yw]

Might as well build a real one !

Können Sie englische Untertitel machen? 😜

[@dennism103]

Very cool but could use retractable landing gear

[@freddyflintstoned913]

Be bold, make it full scale and do the channel.

[@oldschoolman1444]

Not much bigger and you'd have an ultralight and wouldn't need a radio.

[@ericpique]

5.5/7.62=72% scale

[@aeromodeller1]

4.8/7.79 = 0.6162

[@ericpique]

@@aeromodeller1 7,79?? you meant 8,5m for the wingspan right? but that still makes 4,8/8,5=0,56 so either the numbers are wrong or the shape of the RC doesn't follow the real one.

[@aeromodeller1]

@@ericpique Good point. Bleriot XI was not an individual aircraft, but a type, and they came in several sizes. There were also other variations in details. It was widely "copied" and various plans were published. The original was 7 m span. It had a teardrop fin over the cabane, tip elevators, smaller rudder balance area, four blade propeller and tailwheel. At the time of the Channel flight, the cabane fin had been removed, a two blade prop fitted and the span increased by 79 cm to 7.79 m. (Sources vary. Munson says it is 7.80 m) This model seems to match that configuration. The caption says the model span is 4.8 m, so the scale ratio would be 4.8/7.79 = 0.6162, an odd ratio.

You could fly a little kid in that thing. I’ve got an annoying little sh!t neighbor that would be a perfect “volunteer” for you. I kid of course, he’s a teenager and probably a little too heavy. 😜

Why not 1:1?
