Hangar 9 Hellcat Build Review - If you build it, they will come | HobbyView

[@deanhunter8329]

Probably the BEST presenter on the whole of KZbin? Clear, succinct - no waffle, no talking to the "camera person" and no jokes 10/10

[@InfernoPS]

Jesus, i don't know why this was recommended to me, but i am here to stay. Clear communication, Radio Voice... the Bob Ross of Model crafting. Well done !

[@Alan.livingston]

InfernoPS Same. No idea why the KZbin gods recommended this, or what motivated me to click, but I thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@Murderdronesslays]

Same here. This guy does a great job.

[@kalzyoung]

Me TOOO!! Frickin AWESOME!!!

[@banalestorchid5814]

Yup, #metoo, dunno how this got in to my feed but I liked it.

[@ianbruce9603]

Same here. KZbin: “I think you might find this interesting...” Me: “Um, yeah!”

[@jimboxmeyer1964]

Good sound quality. No background noise. Thanks. Clear and concise. No extra words or music that is not needed. Good quality video production. Thank you.

[@IAmThankfulToday]

Not sure why KZbin recommended this but I subscribed after 30 seconds. Hope another 2million + viewers have the same experience. Awesome

[@jeffreyward926]

My god you need your own tv show you really have a great smooth way of talking to us you are awesome..!!

[@HobbyView]

Thanks!

[@WiggoLarsen]

agree ! Good production

[@j3v167]

Agreee as well. Does

[@Noircogi]

This is the first of your videos I've watched and I was thinking the same thing. Great voice-over!

[@daykin17]

I agree also....good work for sure

[@garytodd5605]

Nice build, very informative. You have the voice for instructional videos. If you are not a teacher the kids missed out.

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

Being an ex (dance club you get where I'm coming from) DJ, I saw many people commenting on your voice it is so true, having a good clear voice is a virtue. I had many people come up to me saying, wow you don't have that ridiculous sounding voice most DJs have, I can actually understand what you're saying and it doesn't grind on my nerves.... moving on I'm not even into remote control planes but I'm in World War II, and hobbies and this is extremely calming and informative thank you

[@HyperXcube]

This dude made me genuinely interested in starting this hobby

[@doshombresjazz1795]

You can’t find this bird online anymore I got the last one at the local store. 😁. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. It’s going to be very helpful when I put this baby together.

[@TinyMaths]

Wow; your manner of delivery. Just wow. Voice for Radio or TV narration is an understatement.

[@martinalexander4777]

I have no intention of buying a model airplane kit but watched this start to finish. Amazing.

[@jbastible82]

I think this guy is a wizard. He hypnotized us all! Same story here, never really looked at anything like this before but I cant stop watching!

[@EnzoFerenczyo]

Real nice build and love your calm voice and demeanor throughout. I am a fellow airplane model lover, though I have yet to build an RC, I loved U control planes when I was just a kid. I thought maybe I could help with your issue when the decals fogged up, where I work they use large decals and use soapy water not ammonia. You can apply most smaller decals without using water, but for large and very large stickers, this trick is a life-saver. After cleaning your surface area, wet the area again using a spray bottle and a solution of about 5% soap / 95% water. Apply the sticker while the area is still wet. You can adjust the decal straight while wet and it will dry overnight. No probs.

[@jdove6883]

You're good. Very good. I have just been flying virtual warbirds for practice before the real thing and it is difficult to keep from crashing! And here you are doing it for real!

[@MetalMotivation]

Like everyone else, I was randomly sent here by KZbin, and like everyone else, I have to say that you're a natural narrator. Very smooth. I have no real interest in this sort of stuff, but I watched the whole damn thing. Lol. Kudos, man.

[@thyslop1737]

Dude you are a natural at this.

[@mjh4892]

You are so good at presenting this. With the “stay at home” stuff happening, you’ve made me want to get back into building models. Thank you!

[@Graymenn]

good boy, do what the government tell you now

[@raydelrosario2366]

Love love love your narration /voice over style and gift of gab...you are the Bob Ross of model building.

[@Thunderbuns-il8ri]

Like lots of others mentioned, I was brought here via KZbin suggestions. So glad that I was. You are SOOOOOO easy to listen to. I found your video very enjoyable. Thank you for your efforts!!!

[@michaelmorgan9825]

Have you ever gone to the movies and the picture was so good ... you forgot you were watching a movie? I just spent 21 minutes watching a gentleman put together a model airplane and forgot i was watching a video. I could not wait to see what you were going to do next. Well done sir!

[@roryfaherty4375]

I tend to do smaller models but having watched this he has givin me the confidence with his soothing James Earl Jones voice to go big. He makes you feel 'you Got this have a go young apprentice'

[@thomashobbies]

I agree with Jeff. Your communication style is a gift.

[@gregoryeverett9811]

Awesome video! My dad flew the Hellcat off the USS Yorktown against the Japanese in 1945. It's nice to see someone keeping the memory of these amazing WWII era aircraft alive.

[@maxpower9499]

My great uncle flew Hellcat's off the Yorktown, then back home to train other pilots, and ended up getting blown up on the Franklin. LTJG Howard A Heyman.

[@Thecruisingrancher]

You are so calming! You could be the intercom voice offering instruction at the DMV, and I would be patient for hours waiting in line.

[@tjo1984]

After randomly finding your channel, somehow you made me feel like I was a kid again, building models with a friend. Thanks, man. Keep it up! Great stuff.

[@Sickofsociety1]

Really really cool build and narration! Love your video and your sense of humor!

[@louismccall]

KZbin sent me here randomly, and I am staying

[@OdeeOz]

Same here

[@Chief_5]

Louis A. McCaII II I can’t look away 😳

[@Ken-qx6yq]

me too pretty cool

[@matiasmartinezferreira6398]

Me too

[@calibanreborn4866]

me too

[@jeffreybaker415]

Not an RC hobbyist, but admire your technical expertise. Can listen to people who know what they are talking about. Subscribed.

[@semperfidelis6235]

WoW... was into building models only but later got into RC but I was not aware of all those tools and some complications. Thank you so much for this great video!

[@areallybradidea]

Your voice and delivery of information is world class. Great work!~

[@td2691]

The Bob Ross of model building, superb, subscribed.

[@christianjensen7189]

Clear, logical and informative....refreshing in today's world.

[@johndrummond88]

The way you build helps us rookies feel super confident. Great video!!!! Can't wait to see her fly!!!

[@duncan649]

A huge well done from the UK. Your expert style and enjoyable presentation will encourage more people to start the hobby.

[@tenentenegrao]

The pace, the narration, the camera work... and of course the build itself. Really great on all the things that matter. You are a multi-talented guy.

[@jeffdunehew]

The camera work on the flight videos is fantastic

[@IdesofMarch223]

This man must be protected at all costs.

[@xyzct]

lol

[@dcthree593]

Was gladly recommended here by KZbin, enjoyed the build, can't wait to see the thing fly. Amazing to see someone very passionate about something other than computers or you tubing, or video games, good ol' fashioned airplane model building stuff.

[@michaelkenny4124]

Wonderful heart warming stuff. Imagine building a model with this guy? Would be so much fun.

[@A4Gproduction]

I am glad I stumbled upon this channel. Glad to see there are still people out there making this hobby happen.

[@Deekity]

I know nothing about this hobby, not sure how it showed up recommended - but I was riveted. Your passion shows. Great job.

[@kengreenfield-nman]

Me too!

[@charlottemace1810]

I took flying lessons many years ago and wasn't any good at it. tried flying models and wasn't any good at that; so I settled on going to air shows and watching those that are good at it. That been fun as well. Tickets for air shows and hot dogs is cheaper than building expensive models and crashing them. Hobby View you got the know how and the bucks, have fun. Very nice job!

[@RackwitzG]

I discovered your channel yesterday and want to compliment you on your videos. The content is very interesting and you have a pleasant voice and way of editing and narrating. Thanks.

[@itsocks3396]

I love how other people can love things like this. It really makes me happy to see people so pessionate about their hobbies. Great vid!

[@neubert500]

Your communication skills are SUPERB! You actually had me believing I could assemble that plane with the skill you clearly show! Excellent job, sorry I can only like it ONCE!

[@kevinphillip3627]

Like most, KZbin randomly brought me here. I'm so glad it did! I've always been fascinated with model building but never got into it. Your video was a breath of fresh air and now looking for Part 2 to see how this baby flies!

[@blizzofiftysix3761]

OMG!!!! Finally a legit RC hobby mentor..🙏🏾✊🏾🙌🏿I have wanted to enter the RC airplane realm for years, but scared to invest in the hobby do to lack of knowledge on brand to purchase, introduction to assembly, receiver and telemetry setup. You overall diligence in description is so appreciated 🙏🏾😁🙅🏿‍♂️

[@inixio11]

Awesome work. Simple communicative great voice. Love every part. Thanks for sharing.

[@samuelholmes3696]

REALLY nice video mate! It was recommended to me and I have to say it was a pleasure to watch and listen to! The sheer amount of care and love you put into the construction process was a delight to watch, and your soft voice is easy to listen to without feeling like I'm being screamed at. If all your videos are like this I might just stick around...

[@tdc3rd]

One of the best review and how-to vid's I've seen lately! Very well explained, clear, comprehensive, visuals and audio were great. Also nice to see how you solved the few issues you came across. Thanks, and looking fwd to seeing more!

[@adamhayes5538]

hes one of the best rc plane youtubers atm in my opinion, love how clear and informative your videos are mate

[@lovefoodisgood]

I have no idea how I ended up here but love your sense of humour and excellent voice.

[@billybadass601]

TOO BE HONEST, YOU NEED YOUR OWN SHOW!!! IM GLAD TO SEE A “Brother” IN THIS HOBBY! YOUR VOICE MATCHES THE SHOW!!! MAN YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB!!!!! I WILL BE SUBSCRIBING TO YOUR CHANNEL!!! Everything is so detailed!!! 😎

[@HobbyView]

Fell free to ring up Hollywood for me. :D

[@patb5266]

I second that, just found this great channel yesterday :)

[@paulsoftley8170]

Great video, clear and concise instructions. Your voice and delivery are made for easy listening. Definitely a fan.

[@MrEarlBasset]

I just randomly came across this video. The world right now is upside down and I found this oddly calming. Thank you for your content.

[@InazumaStudios1]

I just came across your channel and subscribed pretty much instantly. Seeing a brother involved with modeling truly filled me with pride. Hugely inspiring! Keep 'em coming, sir!

[@warbuzzard7167]

I about lost it when you spotted the Knight's Cross on the piloten. LOL.

[@GeneralChangFromDanang]

Wait, we didn't have Germans flying for us in WW2?

[@hedgehog3180]

He might not fly it like he stole it but Hans here definitely will.

[@dcthree593]

I sense a double agent pilot...good plot for a movie there.

[@revon0521]

Was hoping that the Cross would have been Dremel-ed off and the pilots "complexion", um, darkened. Anyway...subscribed!

[@hrudorffer]

The Knight's Cross is always an honor to be seen👍🏻

[@samuelapiazza47]

You make it look so easy!!! I have multiple BALSA planes unfinished. Ive been doing rc 30+ years. I'll finish my Eflite Albattos 25E & Ultt. Bipe 10E just from watching this!!!! YOU ROCK☆☆☆☆☆

[@1stMarine]

One of the best build videos I have ever seen, you make it very easy to understand. I especially like how you move the camera in tight for views as if you were looking at it yourself during alignment etc. Well done!

[@billstewart5421]

I’m not a very smart guy so I want to thank you for letting me know that my retracts are getting 7 volts instead of the 6 volts they were designed for. I just finished my Hellcat and I’ve been operating my gear with the pre set voltage from my 100 amp ESC. I hope I haven’t ruined them in the process!!!! I’m going to call Horizons help line today and see if they can help me through the program. Im not computer savvy at all!!! So thanks again for your AWESOME VIDEO on the H-9 Hellcat!!!!

[@tudimaxi1984]

I want more building videos. They work very great for relaxing you at night so you can fall asleep fast.

[@tomlewis2200]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I haven't flown RC for 17 years but it is kind of biting at me.

[@tomlewis2200]

But looking at a gas build. Never had an electric powered plane, and I think rescuing glow engines is a past fantasy, Love this model.

[@jerryhubbard4461]

I was in the sport back in the 90's flying with the Jackson Flyers at Fort Jackson SC. I had some really good time and not so good times when the ground got too close to my plane. I still have one in my shop in the box I never put together that one day I might put it together just for snow. Today, the sport is so much bigger and a lot of electric motors. Still a fun sport if you have the time which it takes.

[@HobbyView]

I've flown a few times at that field back in the early 90's. We may have crossed paths.

[@SergeiMosin]

An outstandingly clear and comprehensive review. I'm debating buying one of these just to have as a display/conversation piece since I can't fly RC planes worth a hill of beans, but that build looks like an absolute blast.

[@hreyes499]

I dont even have a single rc plane but i stayed till the end... He sounds like chef john...and yes Im a subscriber now

[@vimp5594]

Офигенно!!! Не часто встретишь англоязычный канал с такой понятной (не для носителя), ровной и приятной речью, прям профессор словесности! :))) Приятно было просто послушать, а не напрягаться :))

[@LkOutMtnMan]

My dad was crew chief over 5 Grumman F6F's during WW2 on the Khalinin Bay CVE68 . If you haven't seen a Hellcat up close there is one at the free naval museum in Pensacola Florida which I highly recommend seeing. The plane has a 42' wingspan and weighs 9k lbs empty! I can't even imagine trying to land that plane on a deck 512' long and 65' wide with it tossing and turning!

[@johnwalker4105]

Awesome video, the perfect blend of information with none of the tedious parts. This gives me confidence to get one myself.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

I always go with Callie Graphics...her vinyls eliminate the "clear part" in most decals and when all said and done they look painted on. I own several Hangar 9 planes. Love them but I've never used the decals that came with them. I always like using her stuff just to make mine look different from stock. You have a great channel...nicely done sir! Oh...just FYI the antenna goes the other way...it should be straight up...parallel with the canopy vertical lines.

[@beanhimself]

These are the types of reviews I’ve been looking for. Great job!

[@Dcw-rp6ib]

I put together a small model of that plane when I was a kid am 62 now. It was my favorite plane of that war.

[@CRAFT7445]

I love your channel. I get to live vicariously through you building and flying models. So you have a German pilot flying an American plane hunting the Japanese in WWII! Gotcha!

[@JoeKacmarik]

Nice review and I was on board right up to the ESC. No Grumman F6F Hellcat ever had an ESC! When these aircraft with their 18-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine where screaming through the skies battling Mitsubishi A6M Zeros blasting their six 50 cal M2/AN Browning air-cooled machine guns, no one ever said to themselves: 'Hey that sounds just like a vacuum cleaner." I have been in this hobby for quite some time and although I appreciate the developing electric technology, putting an ESC into a Hellcat is nothing short of scale sacrilege.

[@HWPcville]

Adding lead weights to the nose brought back a memory for me. My first plane (don't remember what it was, bought it from a friend) I couldn't find anyone to help me fly it so I decided I could do it by myself. Crashed it on take-off and mangled a wing. I bought wood & shrink wrap and rebuilt it. However, I way overbuilt it and it was so overbalanced I had to add a number of large slip sinker fishing weight into the wing tip. It worked & flew but I didn't pass that info along to anyone. lol

[@richardlong3615]

Great video and great looking plane can't wait till the maiden. I like Hangar 9 planes they are a little more expensive but well made I have a Christen Eagle with an OS 1.2 four stroke. To nit pick you put the metal ferrules in the rubber grommets in the servos upside down. The collar should be against the wood and the other end against the underside of the mounting screw that way it will go tight when you mount it without deforming the rubber gromit too much and allowing a little movement of the servo.

[@lukeludwick1707]

I love your personality! Keep up the good work this is one of my favorite channels! Also you have like the most clear and soothing voices

[@LordHog]

YT suggested this video for some reason and I have to say that I found it fascinating! Instant subscribe

[@SilverTopFlyer]

The hellcat was in the air that Sunday morning in December of 1941. Good video. Hope you are well and feeling great.

[@1967davethewave]

? The Hellcat came out later in the war. It first flew in June of 1942 but wasn't ready for battle until 1943.

[@3DPDK]

*Do not use Window cleaner,* but don't put them on dry either. Most Windex type products use acetic acid (like vinegar) as a wetting and anti-foaming agent. This works great on windows, but can attack and alter the chemical structure of the adhesive. I mean Windex even advertises that it can break up and clean certain gum based adhesives. The altered adhesive will eventually become brittle and crack causing the decal to begin peeling up. One of the things I used to do on the assembly line of a south-east coast fishing boat manufacturer was to put on the 5 foot to 15 foot decals (depending on the model boat). I always used a diluted solution of Dawn dish washing liquid. You have to play with the mixture of water to soap to get a good decal slip without getting too much decal slide. The chemical makeup of Dawn (or similar brands) without added scents will not alter the adhesive causing the fogging of clear areas. The only thing to be careful of is the Dawn mixture wants to foam up if you spray it too vigorously, giving you twice the bubbles you're trying to squeeze out. Spray it in as fine a mist as your spray bottle can and from a one to two foot distance. This produces an even wetting without bubbles.

[@papaq4089]

Your videos are great, so happy I found your channel!

[@dennisbrooks240]

Use a couple drops of dish detergent in a half cup of water to slide on the decals. It is not aggressive toward the decal glue like vinegar in window washer fluid and allow more adhesion.. This works for water slide and self adhesive decals.

[@AdamRashid-e3d]

your voice... its so nice... you should be a voice over guy or an audiobook reader, I would listen forever

[@michaeltyler4034]

I found this video quite by accident and ended up watching the whole thing and then subscribing. Nicely done!

[@kevinbautsch]

This is the first video I watched of yours. I enjoyed it a lot and I'm not even a modeler.

[@SCTimbal]

I have no idea why YT sent me here but man I have all the feels now. Considering I'm *just* getting into drone flying this tickles a childhood fancy of mine!

[@brandontheisen6568]

Glad I this video was recommended to me. You a very soothing voice, I hope you are a professor or a doctor of some sort. I am sure you are very well respected in whatever career field you have chosen for yourself.

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

my father was an AOM1 during WW2. He worked on the Hellcats, among others. USNR 1940-1945 He was an avid R/C flyer going back into the 1950s. He even had a visit by Charles F Kettering during one of his flights at Triangle Park, Dayton,Ohio.

[@scottfirman]

Its nice to see someone going right to electric. I did nitro for years and honestly, I don't miss it. I hated fighting cranky engines and almost losing a finger. Now the only fuel I use is for the lawn mowers I fix and sell to pay for my planes.

[@keptinkaos6384]

once you trim her dial in a little up aileron both left and right in your landing config I just found it helps

[@joewoodchuck3824]

I think I had a plastic display model of this plane when I was young. Glad to see one again.

[@christopherjames9843]

One time I went to an RC plane thingy. It was incredible. WWII planes were easily the most popular planes.

[@chipps1066]

It's great to watch a master at work ,thank you!

[@mrdayyumyum3712]

Another interesting vvvv- video. I look forward to you giving it a first flight. Years ago I built 1/2 dozen kit models but never did learn to fly.

[@kevinrdunnphs]

Why not learn now? It's fun. And the new foam models are great to learn. On because they survive crashes well.

[@crizzlytv6554]

Funny I was just thinking this morning on buying a remote control plane ✈️ and boom!! KZbin recommences this video. Great work and very inspirational. 🤙🏻

[@flytown9853]

Happened upon this video by accident and very happy that I did, nice build with great commentary and sneaky humor.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Great work! Looks like a keeper for sure!

[@oig40203]

I don't build or fly model aircraft but I watch your channel!

[@robertspeicher5047]

You must have been in this hobby a long time. Very informative. Thank you for a well done video.

[@danmunro01]

Seriously thinking about one of these. I’ve got a sweet running OS .91 four stroke that needs a home.

[@mikepaul3959]

Don't know squat about airplanes - real or RC. But my Dad flew Hellcats in WWII so I watched the video. Very good and informative even for a complete nob. Thanks!

[@wubuck79]

I don’t even care about RC planes. So why did I watch this whole thing? And why is your voice so soothing?
