[@robertemmons2260]

Wow! Amazing! I'll bet that you had felt very privileged and honored to have been able to fly their aircraft, especially the Corsair. Congrats!

[@HobbyView]

I was. I was flabbergasted they let me fly it.

[@v57Videos]

Wow! Seeing behind the scenes was amazing and I was super impressed with how much stuff was actually done on-site. It probably should have gone without saying, but I didn't realize how complex an operation it was to manufacture RC planes. Great work!

[@jonmiller4952]

Congrats! That’s awesome to have such an amazing opportunity to visit and fly with a company that’s producing such good models and to be able to offer feedback and suggestions from a modeler that sees what we do on the end user/buyer/flyer is even better!!!

[@mikessi]

Excellent video. Glad you got such a unique opportunity and thanks for letting us tag along!

[@djrose61]

Hey man that was awesome! Hats off to you for going deep into the local scene and no better way than at a flying club. I am sure they really enjoyed having you there and showing off their stuff proudly. I have been traveling the world professionally for a while and tapping into the rc flying scene as well. By the way you flew great! I would have been way too nervous to put my hands on the sticks of those RC gassers. Well done!

[@johnvella5834]

Having just returned home after another day at our model club it is great to see your videos and especially how other countries enjoy our wonderful sport.

[@scotabot7826]

WOW Fitz!!! So cool man, Thanks for the awesome vid!! Compaired to some of Seagulls models, that new Giant Corsairs lines looked really good. Looks to be getting better and better!!

[@travisnesbitt4273]

How cool is that! It’s like a how it’s made video but for our hobby, thanks Fitz! And even in another country, people still want you to fly their planes! Thanks for the video!

[@CaptRD]

I really enjoyed the trip and the tour of the factory. It's nice to see something a little different every now and then.

[@daz2372]

Good to see other known brands are also manufactured and assembly is done. Hangar 9 is spotted

[@Azzty45]

That was a great show .Loved the walk through . I actually had a couple of Hanger9 arf’s . They flew fine.

[@dandanthedandan54321]

Fantastic video. Awesome tour of Seagull's factory. Was interesting to see Hangar9 comes out of that factory too.

[@TomislavReskovic]

Your best video ever, and others are great, so that speaks a lot man! Respect from a country somewhere right in between Kansas and Taiwan 😀

[@tahustvedt]

I really like Seagull Models. They have unique scale subjects and still use good quality covering instead of that awful vinyl that many others are using.

[@K5_BlaZer]

What a fantastic video!! Thank you for posting this. Really helps me understand how much effort goes into a RC plane.

[@davidclark2702]

Great trip! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@daxdadog]

I always suspected that Seagull was an OEM for Hangar 9...now I know. Great tour BTW! They are very cool to have let you fly their planes.

[@scotabot7826]

Yes, they have been for years.

[@RamblerMan68]

I noticed that too, I always wondered about Hangar 9.

[@PauloIrineudeSouza]

Usa free market.

[@stephenqueen7686]

[@Mightymouserc]

Very nice and very cool you got to fly the prototype Corsair, wow that factory was amazing don’t see how they kept everything so organized when I do a build I get pretty crazy in my shop lol we’ll keep the videos coming enjoy them very much happy landings 👍

[@archivist17]

Fascinating behind the scenes feature. Thanks for taking us round. 😀

[@markwebb8013]

Great video nice seeing how other countries are behind the scenes.

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

That's pretty impressive. I didn't know that they were in Vietnam. That Corsair is sweet.

[@dutchloveRC]

WOW this was a FUN Tour!!!

[@LOSCABOSLIFE]

Great Job Fritz! Nice to have a local Houstonian representing our hobby.👍

[@user-nv5lh8ib1p]

No better way to combine work & pleasure. Thanks for sharing!

[@FlyOz-b7b]

Such talent I love those fields reminds me as a kid here in Australia I dont much like manicured modern fields

[@paultravis7580]

Thank u for the tour. I love the puzzled look on fellow pilots face when someone shows up with a scratch built scale model.

[@jimrobinson1311]

Fritz that was a great video! Very interesting to say the least.😮

[@johnw5734]

I've had a few Seagull models over the years. I'm assembling a Pietenpol and Ugly Stick now, both electric. Their planes are always good quality.

[@truenaturestormers2525]

So amazing to see you there, nice job, nice plans. Thank for the look at the Seagull plant.

[@PlaneMaker99]

Great video, I really enjoyed watching that! Very informative, yeah, I was surprised by Hangar 9 as well!

[@wac56111]

Enjoyed seeing the factory, always wondered how the models are built.

[@williewideback]

I'm sure this was awesome to see and experience

[@thecorbies]

Excellent behind the scenes view, and well produced video too.

[@rafaeltorres2886]

Shoot man you got the GOLD tour ❤ I knew you could do it, that was really fun.😊

[@QueenofHuronia]

Wow! What fun! Used to spend most of winter building.

[@jarrodleis4046]

I really enjoyed that. Some of my first ARF’s were Seagulls and they always seemed like good value. Unfortunately in Canada we do not have very good access to Seagull or Phoenix models these days.

[@trondaustad8617]

Nice video. ..and allot of kind people there. Its strage how a hobby make friend wherever you go.😊

[@paulhatcher9767]

That was awesome! Thanks

[@waynemitchell1076]

That ugly stick is called an ugly stick for a reason 😅 Thanks for the upload. They have some fantastic planes and very professional staff. Wish them all well 🙂

[@larrykrise3609]

i love them rc planes.flew them for years.

[@josephkerkau2520]

As a veteran of that war, I've had friends and family that died over there during the war, so to see them prospering on the dead bodies of my friends. I have no comment about your visit!!!!!

[@jimsodowsky1298]

That was a real treat for you I'm certain.

[@phanquochuy2007]

Good to see you fly with my friends

[@slommer5063]

An enjoyable video. Well done!

[@timothyortiz2222]

Awesome, thank you!

[@richardnavarijo7477]

Factory impressive skilled staff workers. 👏 thanks for sharing

[@danmartinrc]

Good to see the staff using their safety squints while running the laser cutters 😂

[@HobbyView]

OSHA would have a heart attack if they went to Vietnam. However, the factory was somewhat safer than many other places I had seen over there.

[@onazram1]

Ok AvE

[@jasonhurdlow6607]

Yeah, that made me cringe. A blink of an eye from blindness. 😢

[@moonpaws1]

Top notch reporting and flying.

[@kennyirish5021]

That was fantastic, I bet it was great fun. Thanks

[@raztaz826]

Factory tours are always neat! Though I would skip visiting the laser cutters that are on with the lids up.

[@3holer01]

Very cool 😎

[@pete-olson]

Did you work at Banner Hobbies in Berlin CT back in the 1980's? I was a regular back then when I raced RC cars. I started flying RC planes in the early 90's with Buffalo Bob as my flight instructor. Pete (Team Berlin)

[@HobbyView]

Hey Pete. Yes, that's me! Talk about old memories... I guess you ran with Mark and the gang? It was Bob Fields as your instructor, right? Curious what happened to him, interesting guy. By the way, I still keep touch with the store's owner, Jerry.

[@pete-olson]

​@@HobbyView I was watching the video and I remembered your voice. I'm living in Wethersfield CT not far where Bob taught me how to fly RC planes. Great content on the channel! Pete

[@jakeclauson9863]

Horizon should take notes. Maybe they would actually have models in stock for more than a day if they built their own

[@peko1967]

that was great

[@kevinkier6790]

LUCKY!!!

[@Eugensdiet]

It looks like they have a large staff. I'm surprised there were no electrics. at the field. Does Seagull sell electrics? I enjoyed the video.

[@vickiesmith755]

Great Video! Ordered the Corsair in the video. Do you know what engine and prop(3 blade) combo they were using on the Corsair? Would love to do the same with mine. Thanks.
