Hangar 9 F6F Hellcat 15cc ARF (64") w/ DLE-20 by Rodger Hecht

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Great plane, great filming, and great flying! I came close to getting one of those...had the FMS 1400 Hellcat and loved it. Its always cool to see the generations in that family flying RC. Thanks for sharing brother John!

[@JustwingitRC]

Thank you so much for the kind words my friend! The Hecht family now has THREE generations currently flying as Brent's son is totally into it as well! This model, although lacking flaps, has really good lines to it, and simply flies amazing. There's just something about a built-up model, a gas engine, and an expert pilot that puts a smile on your face every time! Blue skies and happy landings to you and Heidi!

[@rodgerhecht3623]

Thanks for a great vid John, and thanks to Brent for great flying.

[@JustwingitRC]

Thank you Rodger! You always build great flying models, and this one is no exception! All the best and hope to see you soon!

Great warbird and expertly flown by the pilot. This was great to watch.

[@JustwingitRC]

Thank you so much Aidan for the kind words and glad to hear you enjoyed it my friend!

[@reckemroysrc3764]

I've been wanting a hell cat. This one is really sweet. Nice flying Brent. Excellent camera work wingman 👍👍😎✌👊

[@JustwingitRC]

Thank you so much Roy for the good words! Glad you liked it my friend 😎👍😁✌!

[@johndd8186]

I like the exhaust stains behind the cowl. Nice touch!

[@JustwingitRC]

I agree my friend! Brent and Rodger always do some very nice weathering!

[@jonoedwards4195]

Beautiful Stuff! Great show, these Motorheads know how to tease Our Senses. The Scale flying is just Da Sheeeeeeeee, YUM! Always sending it JWI.

[@JustwingitRC]

Hey there my friend!!! Thanks so much for checking in Jono and putting things the way only you can...glad you liked it! Indeed, gas powered models can make our hearts race, and YES, that scale flying was awesome to watch! Cheers Mate and all the best to you!

[@bobvincent5311]

LOVE the Hellcat!! My favorite plane of all time!

[@JustwingitRC]

For sure Bob! Part of the famed Grumman Iron Works 😁👍

[@paulraschke1670]

Awesome flying and filming 🎥 Beutiful plane

[@JustwingitRC]

Thanks Paul for the good words, glad you liked it my friend 😎👍😁

[@aragorn318]

What a beaut! Gotta love that sound too.

[@JustwingitRC]

For sure Peter!!

[@ljhobbylife]

Amazing flying!! Love that model I went electric on mine, but dang this sounds so good!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@JustwingitRC]

Thanks so much LJ!! I think either way you go (gas or electric) this model is going to perform well...Grumman designed aircraft just fly so good! But yes, there's something about that gas engine sound that gets your blood pumping! Cheers brother 😎👍😁

[@hechtspeed]

Great filming!!

[@JustwingitRC]

Thanks brother! It's always a joy to video while you fly as you cut such scale lines. That model just looks stunning in the sky and against that backdrop 😎👍😁

[@airhammer6203]

That was a really nice flight. Thumbs up to the pilot. A great looking cat from hell. :) Good camera work to, but I do have to say that I don't think it was JWI filming. That happy, giddy, have to say a little something, voice wasn't there. If it was, I hope that your recovery goes well. ;) AirHammer out!!

[@JustwingitRC]

Hey there my friend!!! I really appreciate the kind words! It was me, but I decided to take a different approach this time and let the plane do the talking. Don't worry, I've got many more videos coming up with my pithy narration 😉! All the best to you brother 😎👍😁

[@TobbeArnesson]

@@JustwingitRC Great! Love your narration, it's what's makes this channel really stand out from the rest!

[@JustwingitRC]

@@TobbeArnesson Thanks so much Tobbe, I appreciate it my friend!

[@MWall711]

Nice plane. How's is it to see the orientation with it being so dark? I have the Bearcat from Motion RC and had to paint invasion stripes on the bottom to help me with orientation.

[@JustwingitRC]

I'll have to see if Brent can chime in here to offer his take, but from a video standpoint, I think it's actually easier to follow dark aircraft versus lighter colored models. But for sure, orientation can be a bit of an issue, except for the fact that Brent tends to cut scale lines through the air, so that does make it a bit easier to track, even from a pilot's perspective. All the best to you!

[@Jpierregt]

Il n’y avait pas de vent ! Une tentative sur la gauche et une sur la droite? Bel avion !

[@JustwingitRC]

Merci Jean-Pierre ! Oui en effet, comme l'avion n'a pas de volets et qu'il n'y avait pas de vent, Brent a dû refaire une tentative d'atterrissage par la droite. Ravie que cela vous ait plu, tout le meilleur à vous !

[@Jpierregt]

Donc il en avait un peu quand même !! Je ne me rappelle plus de ton prénom mais je te remercie de ta réponse sympathique et complète

[@JustwingitRC]

@@Jpierregt C'est John, et merci beaucoup Jean Pierre ! Santé mes amis!

[@Jpierregt]

Comme John Wing it ainsi Je m’en rappellerai peut-être 🙄🤯

[@JustwingitRC]

@@Jpierregt En effet monsieur, en effet 😉👍😁

[@BOBO-qx2vg]

Wow nice sound ☺️☺️☺️

[@JustwingitRC]

Thanks BOBO!! This engine is tuned very well and man did that plane fly good! Cheers my friend and all the best to you 😎👍😁!

[@narekov8915]

I just bought this plane and and a DLE 20. what prop are you using?

[@JustwingitRC]

We'll see if Rodger can chime in with an answer for you!

[@rodgerhecht3623]

That flight was a apc 15×8. I have also used a zoar 17×7

[@p3arljam26]

Be really careful that plane has been know to have failures in the horizontal stab.

[@JustwingitRC]

I'm sure Rodger will keep an eye on it, thanks for the tip!

[@hechtspeed]

This model has a built up airfoiled stab made by chad viech. Ots not goin anywhere :)

[@JustwingitRC]

@@hechtspeed Nice flying on that one my friend! She sure looks SWEET against that beautiful Tehachapi backdrop and scenery 😎👍😁

[@rodgerhecht3623]

Yep Chads vertical and horizontal stabs, built up and air foiled and fully sheeted with 1/16" balsa. I took one look at the stock tails and said no way am i using that.
