Nice flying Captain Robert. I've been waiting the whole day to see this bird fly and it was well worth the wait. Thank you both for this great channel love watching the enthusiasm and dedication you have for this hobby. and your right it is the best hobby in the word. Keep the videos flying in HAY!!...

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Thanks my friend for such kind words and for all support. We really love this hobby so much and it our perfect way to relax. It was a little crazy today but at the end I still love it. Big salute to you from Slovenia.

[@steveandrews339]

Hey guys, love the way that in Slovenia you can just turn up at an ' old road ' and fly ! ... no chance of doing that here in the UK !! someone owns every square inch and the land owners or the Police would be spoiling the fun within minutes !!

[@leemaples1806]

luckily it wasnt a full on crash at the end. just a little tumble so, no broken bonesor deep cuts. only little minor bruising really so, she should be able to get back into the airand we can have fun all over again. salute! :-)

[@trevornelson7524]

Can't tell you how much i enjoy your videos. i used to fly and crash and it was so disheartening but ive learned that sometimes it just happens and as always they can be fixed which I find i enjoy just as much. I also have 3 sons of which 2 are in the hobby as well. I salute both of you . Thank you.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Thanks for such kind words my friend. I was really so depressed at the beginning if I had crashed the plane. But later I have realized that that is just the fact if you are flying. It doesnt matter how good pilot you are crash will happen no matter what. But as long as we have something to glue together is OK. Iam really happy that you enjoy this hobby with your sons. I hope that mine will also be RC pilot someday. Big salute back from Slovenia.

[@romeshter]

Now that's what I call a true professional. First Pilot Robert shows you the right way and then he show you how not to take off. I salute you Sir.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Like you said my friend ;-)

[@6Sally5]

Pilot Robert you have mastered what the US Marines teach when things don’t go as planned...”adapt...improvise...overcome”!

It worked pretty good at the end my friend. It was this or nothing for who knows how long.

[@icarusfin4599]

Cpt Robert and Cpt Blaz, you making great honor for this absolutely amazing hobby. The way you do this is how it ment to be. Fun to watch you guys. Keep going

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Thanks my friend for such kind words. We really dont want to pretend here to be some professional pilots becouse we are not. But we do love this amazing hobby so much and we just want to show how it really looks like. Even if it is not always perfect its still the best fun ever. Big salute from Slovenia.

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Robert. You are an amazing pilot. On your first flight you showed us how to do the right way slow and easy and you pleased her for the whole five minutes and then you missed the landing strip awwww Damm she said. I have battery left big boy. Do it again and redeem yourself. So like the eager Guy you are you jump right in there and go wide open creating the premature situation and crash landing leaving her lying there broken and disappointed once again. Glad to see I'm not the only one who has this problem. At least the subliminal pictures of you weren't of you naked. LOL. A BIG SALUTE TO YOU FROM SEDRO WOOLLEY WA 😎 ✌️

[@bad65dad]

You was rushing that second flight too funny you guys make me laugh too much.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

I really was my friend. It was so distresfull. Good thing that the bird survived.

[@petergoodwin2465]

Thanks pilot Robert and captain Blaz , nice bird but tip stalls so easy . The original props are very weak and break so easy. Mine is sitting in the room ,heard is hard to fly. Thanks guys ,great fun to watch.

[@TomsManShed]

you 2 are just perfect....DONT EVER change the format of this channel....it is an absolute joy to watch ...I am 60 years old and a lifelong RC flyer starting in the early 70's with single channel McGregor equipment and the game changer Futaba M series. There are so many model flying channels on KZbin but yours is head and shoulders above the rest I would love to meet you 2 guys in person as we would have alot in common. I dont think I will be going to Slovinia ....would love to...but if I do I will look you up and invade your runway....OH YEH. PS I kept getting a 1 frame flash of Pilot Robert occasionally....anybody else see it ?

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Great to see you here my friend and thanks for all kind words. We are not here and filming to prove something but just to show to the world how much fun this hobby is. And we always show it all. We could edit and we would be perfect pilots but why to do that. No way. We will film like this to the end becouse we just love it this way. If you visit Slovenia do come by and we will have a cold one together. Big salute from Slovenia.

[@tomross7552]

cheers Robert :)

[@barryanderson5116]

I did the very same thing with a plane of mine last time I flew. I was in a hurry to get it into the air and pulled it up before I achieved enough takeoff speed . I totaled my plane, fortunately you did not. Thank You for the video and all the very best.

[@ual737ret]

Good work, boys. I had a perfect maiden today with my Kaos 60. That OS95V FS sounded so sweet. 4 more maidens to go. Oh yeah!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

That is great my friend. No better feeling then good maiden.

[@marianstefanik5828]

Captain Blaz: be quick !!!! This was really quick :) I love you guys :)

It really looks like that my friend.

[@bellboy4449]

OH YEA ,great maiden flight Capt.Robert.The plane flew very stable and smooth.The second flight ,like Capt.Blaz said, was too quick before lift off. You cut the throttle very quick and saved the plane from further damage,Salutee!! I imagine Capt.Blaz feels better now ,seeing your tip stall after his amphibian did the same last week. You both are great pilots.I look forward to seeing yall every time ! Texas Bill

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Thanks for kind words my friend. It was really hard today to keep concentration so at the end it ended well for the plane. It will be more relaxing next time. Big salute from Slovenia.

[@Kwak46]

Congratulations Pilot Robert and Captain Blaz for a beautiful sexy maiden. At least you didnt smash her up to badly on your second flight. I have done this so many times too .Big salute from the Uk my friends. 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@MrBumbles2]

dam splat flips caught the grass , worked perfectly, splat then flip i give it a 10

[@MrBumbles2]

yep they work , just saw second flight them splat flips now do cart wheels friggin awesome,, lol nice flying oh yea

[@Retset]

What a brilliant video: Loads of laughs, a pedestrian convention, a lesson on rotating too early giving tip stalls, a lesson on why we never have "just one more flight", spooky one frame Roberts popping up about 15 times (camera SD card?), admissions on bedroom performance, Robert being photographed ... where else can you find all this on KZbin? NOWHERE 🤣

[@jeepman012]

I am glad your maiden went ok,, I had my heart in my mouth the whole time waiting for the tip stall but you did really good, 2nd flight/ crash is what most of us suffered with, she jumps in the air then Bam she wants to lie down again. Big Salute to you both.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Thanks my friend. It was pretty interesting to fly this baby. Like you I was expecting tip stall all the time but it ended well. But for the second attempt I was just to fast. The bird takes off really fast and there is no way anymore to control it. But its still OK and it will fly again. Big salute back from Slovenia.

[@leroyjenkins3515]

You guys should start a "Flight Club" lol!!! Would have been a sexy landing on the road.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Maybe we will my friend ;-) I was really hoping for perfect landing and it would have been if I havent missed it ;-)

[@avipatable]

Ah man, that was a beautiful approach - and then the grass! She looked very scale though, nice job gents. Oh No then I just saw the second attempt! Hope its all ok! A lot of torque on those two props on the same direction. The first take off was spot on! I have to say though I always fly more - I work out how many Mah per circuit and fly right down to 20%! I love to be in the aaaaiiiiiiirrr as long as possible!

[@bobburns5856]

Rushing a take off to avoid pedestrians. Too little takeoff speed resulting in tip stall. You have demonstrated that perfectly so we all can learn that important lesson. Loved the splat flips.

[@scottpanzer7510]

Pilot Robert, we love all the crazy stuff Blaz's does with his camera and we enjoy his eye for fun and art. There, now leave him alone!

The C-47 is the military version. As a boy my first flight on a plane was on the civilian DC-3. It flew from Salt Lake City to Phoenix and passed over the Grand Canyon. It was a very enjoyable flight. Thanks for bringing back such fond memories.

[@BikersGarage101]

Runway Robert! Runway!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Awesome bird. I cannot beleive the end! OMG! Only damaged pride. I see now clearly WHY 2nd flights are not good!!! No problem! You will have it up and flying in no time!

[@dementia0090]

She flies and sounds just like my Dynam C-47! She needs a little rudder in the turns. She does not like high winds. When she take off, she lifts off fast. 2 more minutes! You have to take off slow and scale. No, it is not for a beginner pilot. Great maiden Robert and great camera work from Capt. Blaz!

[@larryandfranryan1053]

well done guys,just remember to use DOWN elevator to prevent the model leaping into the air too quickly,works for me.cheers.

[@ROLXXII]

@@PetrincicBrosRC So very true Cap't Robert, that it is what is. The approach looked so perfect, the attitude of the plane, the sink rate, and I was expecting such a beautiful sexy touchdown on the runway. Never mind my friend, as I also got a great laugh from your own reaction hahaha!!! Keep up those wonderful videos, they are best hey! I like yourself have been flying RC planes for about 4 years now and can't tell enough the passion and love I have for the hobby, it's indeed the greatest hobby in the world and I have lost control of that click of the button to empty my wallet ;-D .

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

You said that good my friend ;-)

[@KenKneknaneek]

Reading your intro, and yes called all of those names, and in Canada we called it the Dak. It was used a lot in the 60's at the Air Base I was stationed at from 64-69 and how long after that I don't know but it was a real work horse. It could also be equipped with skis for flights up north in the winter when often your runway was a frozen lake covered with snow. Nice flying once again and great photography. Now I understand what a tip-stall is. It looks like the aircraft doesn't have enough speed in a climb while turning at the same time, and it simply falls over and doesn't have enough height to recover. It might be interesting to experiment to make it tip-stall on purpose at a high altitude to see how far it falls in order to come out of it. Anyway, thanks again for a great video, and of course, Happy Flying

[@patrickmannen3637]

Nice propellers Robert. They look like the real Hamilton Standard propellers on the DC-3, or C47. Yes Capt. Blaz, I think those guys going by on the runway have a grass stash somewhere. Anyway Robert you did your best. Next time it will all go better! Thanks to you both!!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

This was the first and the last time that I did this. Once you land on the maiden that is it ;-) Cheers my friend.

[@gerrycorbino2000]

Pilot Robert; you had to deal with all of the insubordination from Capt. Blaj. which caused both crash landings.......perhaps the good Capt. needs a temporary demotion to Lieutenant! lol Once again, a great video from two of my favorites.

[@leemaples1806]

i thought it was cpt blaz`s duty to be insubordinate. and, he`s good at it. lol
