JWM2013 presentation F16 Orange Gerald Rutten

[@mmichaeldonavon]

As a young boy, I could not get enough of watching someone hand fly a model airplane; still love to watch them fly. After over 30 years of flying General Aviation airplanes, building and flying Experimental Amateur Built airplanes, and having worked on aircraft for many years, I must say that your project is THE finest work (of aircraft art) that I've ever seen - bar none! Your engineering skills are to be envied, no question about it. I'm going to watch it again, and learn more. N6395T

[@panfry11q]

This is the most amazing build ever. Nothing short of fantastic. My father was a tool & die maker before any CNC and I can really appreciate the close tolerances this took. This guy is an artist.

[@jeremysaunders9916]

Absolutely stunning detail,art and engineering not to mention your dedication and skill and you fly it ! It came second !!!! Unbelievable.

[@SICMRR]

What craftmanship,truly a master at construction,I take my hat off to you,I really enjoyed watching this a true master at work.

[@charaznable2009]

This video gave me chills...... Sir you are "THe Man"....

[@partriarch]

An exquisite project. Kudos to all involved for this marvel of miniaturization. I am impressed by the sheer work involved in the creation of this aircraft. Well done!

[@cykadelik]

Such a fantastic piece of engineering. WELL done. it looks truly fantastic.

[@AgressorNation]

Absolutely spectacular. The level of detail you put into this model is truly amazing. I admire your patience and level of detail. Toppertje. Petje af voor je.

[@NLtyno]

Wow, respect! I'am stunned by the amazing level of details you have put into your model.

[@flyoz1]

Gerald you are at the top of the Master Craftsman list. Awesome work, a truly inspirational effort. Hope you nail # Mate

[@baytacoglu]

This is truly a great art work I have ever seen on RC world. Congratulations...

[@WillSr70]

The only thing that could've come first was a real jet, that is awesome,you are the man.

[@domsui300]

Yak 130 on first place was built by a huge team and a nearly unlimited financial backgrlund. But you made ALL by yourself, even the turbine!!! You are the real master, unbelievable!!! I feel like a beginner with my planes. Dom from Switzerland. (maybe you remember me, we emailed about turbine construction)

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Fantastic Jet. Good luck at the JWM 2013 Best regards, RCSA

[@toprob20]

Gerald ik heb deze bouw op een forum gevolgd. En die landing gear is nogsteeds het meest indrukwekkende modelbouw werk dat ik ooit heb gezien!

[@32FGWolfhounds]

Total respect. The level of detail is stunning.. My compliments sir!

[@ctrlfr3q]

very impressive work, Gerald. thanks for sharing.

[@Douchezak]

Een woord: Prachtig! Echt super mooi gedaan, de hobby die je hebt kun je verdomd goed!

[@nickkerssens5444]

Highly skilled performance. Wat een klasbak. Je bent er één uit duizenden. Top job, all with love and dedication. Wij zijn trots op dit soort mensen. Blijf aub doorgaan. Woeker met dat zeldzaam talent. Long life and enjoy your rare craftmanship. Many more flights and soft landings, kid..

[@ChrisLawley43]

You are true craftsman, I rarely see people with your kinda skills build something so spectacular.

[@edbar36]

Fantastic !!! well done....congratulations from Brazil

[@virtuosomuso]

You sir are incredible , fantastic work

[@albertpietrosanu2667]

Superb presentation, great model, quality people!

[@jiberjaber]

Fantastic, the standard must have been very very high for that not to have taken first place. Brill bit of engineering there to. Well done! :)

[@TheWRCTommy]

crazy detail and mechanics...freaking AWESOME !! good job and keep it coming

[@AeroworksProductions]

If you received 2nd place I have to see 1st because your work is amazing!

[@Bloffan1]

There is just one word to discribe the amount of detail and craftmanship that went into this: EPIC! I've also seen the film of the YAK130 model that I believe took 1st place in JWM2013. But those guys had acces to the complete plans and backup of the YAK factory and even more advanced production methods (full CAD design and CNC machining etc) To see this model and the result thusfar with the limited resources and handmachining you had Gerald. I can only say: Petje af man! Zoals al eerder gezegd, ik wou dat je m'n buurman was, dan stond ik voortdurend over je schouder mee te kijken!

[@VectraRS]

Beautiful job. Congratulations. Just perfect.

[@Mowloon]

you are a milling machine hero! Simply Awesome.

[@WildHBill]

Oober super scale......what a fantastic creation.....and then there's the 'scratch built' turbine!

[@Darthgeese]

Amazing job my friend. I used to work avionics on F-16s and your detail in this jet is amazing. I also have a rc F-16 but she isnt even close to this work of art. Well done!

[@javijet78]

[@robertchen6974]

[@srwilliams1963]

Ik comment normaal nooit op YT, maar wat een vakmanschap zeg. Petje af. Usually I never comment on YT, but what a craftmanship. Thumps up!

[@cloudsplitter24]

INCREDIBLE! Amazing work on a beautiful model!

[@davehopkin245]

I wonder how many hours went into it - Its gone past being a model and become a work of art........

[@etma01]

[@rOEN911]

I made a digital painting work of this model and it was a hell to paint it to the pc imagine with airbrush :) Good job

[@jetpropdlx]

mooie compilatie, Heel veel succes en plezier in Zwitserland

[@SOUZAELS]

wonderful model, congrats

[@TahoeMtnMan]

Uw werk is kunst! Bedankt voor het delen.

[@WilliamvanDoorn]

Super Mooi Werk, Gerald ! #Awesome #PetjeAf ... Vlieg er je regelmatig mee? En zo ja waar ? Groetjes !

[@arjanvanraaij8440]

wat geweldig mooi gebouwd.

[@CrazyNorman]

What sort of tooling do you use to craft a turbine engine by hand? I was under the impression you needed extreme precision and something like 5-axis CNC

[@jeroexx]

omg nice work man this is awesone

[@jubaadri]

Incredible! Pure art!

[@HanDeBouwer]

Heel mooi en veel succes bij de JWM 2013.

[@KieroTA]

Piękna robota, piękny model , gratuję.

[@andrewman3912]

How did you obtain original drawing for the plane, isn't it very very difficlt to get?

[@tem1939]

Jet World Masters second place? Wow! What in the world came in first?

[@roelofoosting1975]

beste gerald wist zo niet hoe ik verder met je in contact kon komen maar had een vraag over jou eurofighter typhoon 90 van graupner . ik heb namelijk hetzelfde model . dit model heb ik overgenomen van een man die overleden is . aangezien dat hij er geen tekening bij had of andere info wou ik jou vragen of jij het balance punt weet van het toestel . alvast bedankt en met de vriendelijke groet R.Oosting lid van vliegclub MVCK

[@shahidmahmood7358]

Excellent job dear, 10/10.

[@TETOYVIENDO]

hi, a model like this one how long can stay on the air with a single gas tank?

[@Ab1234ify]

The best music choice!!!!!

[@Prabhath_the_Dawn]

Truly inspiring :) You have lots of patience :)

[@eelco8800]

Ongelooflijk, hoeveel duizenden uren werk???

[@MrTact1]

Dit is werkelijk niet normaal zo mooi!! Die details zijn echt een lust voor het oog! Nu nog even jezelf (of je vrouw :-) op schaal door een 3D-printer laten uitprinten voor in de cockpit :-)

[@azemsenol1689]

where did you buy the cockpit glass

[@Teus01]

Schitterend Gerald! Veel succes op de JWM2013

[@antosdesantos]

Simply inspirational.

[@christurbo951]

What is your profession? This is one one the most accurate scale R/Cs out there. The landing gear is just genius how you miniaturized and functioned it

[@marcoroth7879]

...in my opinion one of the three beautiest jet's ever build!!! ...the others are Su-27 H. Huf and of course Vitaly's Yak.

[@prodromospartheniou639]

well done . great job .

[@deniskuznetsov4978]

Perfect job!

[@hiroshihamada4920]

Good job! Wonderful!

[@patrickbosch84]

Echt ongelooflijk, wat een vakmanschap. En zo, zo mooi en gedetailleerd. Vlieg je er nog steeds mee? En zo ja waar dan zoal?

[@mongrul68]

[@Auracanal]

Awesome, what else can be said...

[@nabekamadoo]

完璧です。 素晴らしい！

Hello Gerald, you built the caves and wings or bought a kit? thank you

[@willimik]

[@korinakorinnaa2521]

[@chrtz2000]

static judge@JWM2011: the pilot only has 75,910 hairs, it should be 75,911 2ND PLACE

[@MesFlyST]

Impressive....indeed !!

[@liordgani6034]

It's unbelievable!

[@gifted6305]

How much would a RC like this cost me in if you were to build me one?

[@tomchen784]

Can we order one?

[@VincentLemage]

Ik lieg als ik zou zeggen dat hier geen woorden voor zijn :-) Doorzettingsvermogen, passie, focus, precisie, moet ik nog doorgaan? Prachtig... wat haat ik die YAK130 nu :-) F-16 rules!

[@waqast12]
