Hellcat 121” Moki S300

[@phongpit]

WOW! What a beauty! This aircraft has a special place in my heart. I am 76 years old, and have had a lifelong affair with aviation (26 years in the USAF, private pilot). My very first model airplane back in the 1950's, was an Aurora F6F Hellcat! It is such a pleasure to see this beautiful model fly! Thanks for sharing this moment with others!

[@rackets001]

The most deep, throaty sound for an RC plane I've ever heard. Awesome!

[@charleswaters455]

It sounds like a real Radial engine. OP, can you tell us what engine is in that thing?

[@mrashphillips4934]

I was just thinking that too! Some of the flybys are hard to tell that its not a real aircraft.

[@craigbrewer433]

@@charleswaters455 moki engines are radials.

[@charleswaters455]

@@craigbrewer433 I'm looking at it now. Wow. It's beautiful and EXPENSIVE!

[@leadsolo2751]

That's the Unmistakable sound of a Moki ;)

[@BobMinelli]

That was oddly satisfying. F'n AWESOME landing....LIKE a PRO!

[@JV-df9em]

This is insanely impressive, from the build to the flight - well done!

[@3ducs]

Beautiful model! Those Moki radials sure sound great!My father flew Hellcats in the Pacific during the war. Just one point, they were painted a much darker blue over grey.

[@markschisler7874]

I built just about every ww2 model plane I could find when I was a kid. Loved the era. That is THE COOLEST model plain I've ever seen.thanks for sharing. Drop the 'f' bomb after it crashes. Excellent landing!

[@craigpennington1251]

One of the best landings I've seen. Congrats on a cool Hellcat. Very nice build and the flying of it.

[@OnfloorAudio]

The engine along in that plane runs around $5,000 !! Impressive set up ! Sounds bad ass ...

[@robpizz]

Smooth landing! That took some skill. Looks like it actually had flaps down too!

[@gailwade4022]

[@rahulmaron]

i always wonder how these guys able to contrl RC so smoothly. The angle and distance from where you are controlling plane is so disorienting when trying to align the aircraft to the runaway.

[@isftish]

near perfect 3 point landing. and it was nice and slow too, exactly like a carrier landing.

[@jamesbarnes8854]

That was really cool. A bunch of retired pilots from the nearby base used to get together and fly planes like that at a commercial sod company field near me. I loved watching them with my Papa on Saturdays.

[@tonydeaton1967]

Probably the nicest Hellcat I've ever seen. I sincerly hope this bad-boy is still flying.

[@monsieurcommissaire1628]

Great aircraft, great engine- such a nice, deep, heavy sound! I'm hoping someone out there eventually will install 2 Moki radials in a large scale F7F Tigercat. I've seen nice looking Tigercats with (the horror) electric motors but I couldn't get too excited about those. Thanks for showing us your awesome Hellcat. Grumman Ironworks forever!

[@greg4673]

So excellent thank you for filming this I know you have many many thousands of hours and dollars in this hobby and I just want to tell you you made my day

[@jfan4reva]

Nothing sounds like a radial! I could listen to one all day!

[@robhaskell4043]

Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down? Well videoed, clear, slow pan. The 'pilot' does a great job....Kudos to all and thanks for posting. Cheers from Canada.

[@artbeau]

Are you kidding?!? That was absolutely amazing. I was watching that with the kind of pride as though I'd actually done something... HUGE hats off to you! And thank you for sharing!

[@jamesglass5402]

It sure did. And this is what kind of engine?

[@danielethier2015]

@@jamesglass5402 it's a Moki S300 radial engine

[@daleaskew3744]

Easy answer. That's because it is!

[@TheBudoAcademy]

[@StefanRose19]

I agree with others: very realistic sound of the engine and incredible pilot skills. Very nice landscape 👍👍👍

[@melted_cheetah]

Beautiful plane, great sound, perfect landing, nice area!

[@spikespa5208]

At idle, with sub woofer on and eyes closed, sounded almost like an F6F.

[@michaelcarrier4374]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful. She sounds amazing too.

[@fckthmbtchz8585]

That landing was perfect! I had to watch it a couple times good job

[@wddwilliams]

Really cool to watch! Thx. Nice flying, and a fantastic landing. Nicely done!

[@TonVerkleijT3]

Very good landing! It looks like you could use a bit more rudder when turning, makes the turn more coordinated.

[@afenijmeijer9027]

Good job guys. Beautiful model of an iconic aircraft and expertly flown.

[@aaronblair9583]

I knew that field looked familiar. Went to a fly in there in around 01-3? Remember quiet flyer magazine was there and a man brought his half finished massive wingspan b17. My dad took me, he passed this last year. .brings back alot of memories.

[@foodstick]

Everyone has covered all the great aspects of this plane and video.. but man those trees on the end of the runway seemed to be getting closer and taller every second ! hahaha great vid.

[@deadstick8624]

Beautiful video, beautiful sound and beautiful landing. It was great to watch.

[@evtyler]

Can't say thanks enough for taking the time to share such a great video! That airplane is absolutely gorgeous!

[@shinethelight01]

That is one bad ass RC Hellcat! It looks so authentic and the sound of that motor is fantastic!

[@oldtimer2192]

Great flying, one thing I noticed though was the running up with the guys just over in the edge of the prop arc. If that sheds a blade it would pretty much go straight through you!

[@kaykiekid]

😄👍❤ Man, that plane has that classic WWII engine sound. Great looking model. Loved the video, thanks.

[@skittleseer1]

No doubt that’s a 4-stroke radial. You will never get that kind of sound out of a 2-stroke. Great sound, great build and great flying!

[@danielebrparish4271]

I don't think they make a 4 stroke engine for rc models.

[@tomsawyer9403]

Beautiful plane and engine. Nice flying and landing, too.

[@alanreynolds2287]

Excellent pilot! Landing just could not have been better!

[@timothyroth8073]

[@oldschooldude8370]

I know they make bigger but damn that's a big RC. Sound great too. I've flown the smaller ones as a kid and this thing is easily twice the size.

[@mikedixon8741]

[@CPUHakker]

I find these videos both comical watching the arms crossed pose of the guys in the trailer next to them and intriguing. That was a beautifully handled flight and loved the sound. I gotta wonder how much that puppy weighs. My wife is probably going to leave me when I pursue RC. I'm not confident enough to fly and will instead go with a boat.

[@cottagenorth]

Thanks for the entertaiment Beautiful hobby !

[@rayschoch5882]

Nice landing! I know nothing about RC models, but my Dad flew F6Fs in combat in 1944, so it's a treat to see one.

[@danielebrparish4271]

You have got to go to a museum and see the real deal. They are amazing. I saw one at the Moody Gardens Air Museum in Galveston. Some air shows have them and if you get there before the start of the show they usually let you see the planes up close and talk to the owner. I think it's a great learning experience and I hope you get to see one someday.

[@22UNO22]

Perfect landing. And ofcourse a very nice machine!

[@mcgama88]

Some how, even as I have studied the conflict as 1941 -1945 Pacific conflict WW2, I did not fully understand the "hellcat" potential as air combat to IJN *zero (zeke), until I watched this RC model fly. What a power and effortless solid...design. That Moaki engine....well....makes it come alive....and return to the air war, of the S. Pacific. Well done....and alive to my view. M.

... next level, when you're flying in the middle of a frickin' forest!

[@howardbowen-RC-Pilot]

@Jim Goose my excuse for that is my eyesight would not pass a aviation medical. But I fly RC aircraft. Largest has a five foot wingspan. Which is difficult to transport about. A trailer is one option. My other is buy an old Transit. Pondering both at the moment. Here in the uk we have from memory a 7 .5kg weight limit. That Hellcat is a great model flown well.

[@MetalFan10101]

This Hellcat is so realistic visually and soundwise that it could be used in a Hollywood WWII movie.
