This is the video that brought me to your channel two or three days ago. I built a Balsa USA Taube in the 1980's and when I saw it in the corner of the garage the other day it made me want to search for flying videos, so here I am. I've spent the past two days watching your channel, then came back to rewatch this one. What a super video. My Taube was powered by an O.S. .40 FP, and even that seemed like too much power. It's odd that the plans say it can use up to a .60 two-stroke. I can't imagine flying it with a .60. Thank you for your channel.

[@iseeolly9959]

Beautiful Plane, Beautiful Countryside, Beautiful Flying, Beautiful People, Beautiful Laughter. Thanks so much from the UK xx.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Thanks my friend. You said that beautiful.

[@M0rdH0rst]

I've seen that model with the option to twist the wings like the original. It doesn't have enough dihedral for flying by rudder only. But it looks nice and was piloted perfectly 😉

[@elpunto231]

Yes i have seen that to...thanks!!!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

It sure would help with this bird ;-)

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

I Agree... A Few Mods & She Wood Be Something Very Special-eh!

[@FrankS1]

I had an unopened Flair kit version of the twisted wing which i had from new for more than 20 years but sold it at a car boot sale for £30 about 2 years ago

[@bookerol]

Captain Blaz... you did fine! Plane still in one piece, that is even better.

[@theGoonezone]

WoW ! A " TAUBE" i have One Made vor me for years !! 180wingsp. Ist real a special airplane ! LIindbergs & Co . What a Amazing Time! 👍🏼

[@dennisfarley6574]

It is a very unique looking plane. The great piloting skills of Blaz saved the day on this one.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Its beautiful but so crazy my friend ;-)

[@mikeupton5406]

Yes, I have to join in saying this is a beautiful plane. Just watched your Twin Ottet and Echine Helicopter video. In this video no snow in Twin Otter video snow.

[@philokeefe7960]

Great fun! When you showed the bird at the beginning; tiny rudders, no dihedral, large elevator movement, I thought this would end in a crash. Captain Blaz I salute you. SALUTE!

[@maxmorgan2297]

Wow what a nice pigeon with the right sound:). I think the big rudder is speed-stalling and the reason it flew better in lower speed .

[@trschreck]

any flight you can walk away from is a good flight! well done.

[@richardkremer5830]

I had one of these, and had to modify it. I took the covering off the wing and added ailerons. After that mod it flew perfectly.

[@Chio_OB]

7 for looks, 10 for engine, 2 for flight characteristics, love it!

[@elpunto231]

Yes all true!!

[@jacksonrcaviation]

I am just proud of you guys, it's real and fun. Me and my son Maison always try to bring the same thought out on our small channel. Thanks 😎🇺🇸🇸🇮

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Thanks for such kind words my friend. And also for your efford to make this great hobby even better by filming it. I wish you both many great videos and perfect fun.

[@elpunto231]

Oh yeahh my friend!!!big salute!!!!!

[@MarkPrimavera]

Hilarious! Great video - I just ordered a SAITO FA 40 four stroke glow engine ~Stay safe my friend!

[@RVN782P]

Thanks for the great laugh! Your assessment was hilarious!! I'm good friends with the owners of Balsa USA and have shared this video with them. I'm sure they will laugh just as hard as I did!!

[@erichoenderop1142]

Good first flight despite an unpredictable plane. Class!

[@elpunto231]

Thanks!!!!

[@kelnewman1446]

Fantastic funny to watch I sat here with a grin on my face thanks

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Thanks for stopping by my friend.

[@hape4]

Whahaha it was so funny to hear the judgement of Blaž.....it went from bad to worse and beyond.... so even with a bad plane you can have great fun and have the tears from the laughing. Not while flying but afterwards. Ohhhh but I love the sound of that Saito engine. I’ve the FA-56, it’s perfect and a straight 10. Stay safe my friends and have fun.

[@philbarnes9361]

Perfect! 2nd worse plane to fly. Not a plane to fly for joy! Maybe a plane to fly for fear lol. Great descriction captain blaze you crack me up. On the positive side the scarf was the best bit

[@fpvoslo]

Great piloting Some clear plastic between rudder and elevator might help Thanks for sharing Looking forwartd to next plane :D

[@chrisross7936]

I Have a Great Planes mustang .40 with the aileron gaps to big. First time I flew it was crazy out of control. I put some painters tape on the gaps and then it was perfect. Close or cover the gaps and fly it again Captain Blaz! Great job on the flight. I love watching you guys!!

[@kelnewman1446]

Better than Netflix boys keep em coming 😂😂😂

[@elpunto231]

Ahah thanks!!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Thanks my friend for kind words.

[@bobbyalessi]

I have the Balsa USA 90" version which has ailerons and it flies beautifully, I love this plane. This was the very first warbird. It was supposed to be only for surveillance until one co-pilot decided to drop a grenade (a giant device in those days) on a camp, they also brought pistols and rifles with them and this was the birth of air combat. Capt. Blaz, try flying the one with ailerons and you will change your opinion about the Taube. One more thing, check for flexing of the control rods, it's such a long rod that they have had common issues with controls if the rods are flexing. I enjoy watching you guys, you're the best! ~bobby alessi

[@elpunto231]

Oh thanks for info my friend!!!!

[@user-ko3vg7fc7o]

Great job with a faulty designed plane! SALUTE!

[@xKmotx]

7:20 the muffler is coming loose.... Good job flying it Cap'n Blaz! 👍

[@jondoe6618]

The laughing was contagious!!! I was laughing pretty hard as well!!

[@elpunto231]

Ahahaah cheers!!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

I had such a good time filming Captain on this flight ;-)

[@jondoe6618]

@@PetrincicBrosRC I am looking at the Husky 1800 pnp for my next plane. (3rd) I really like how big it is, and really affordable as well. Never flown anything over a 1100. Someday even get a petrol powered propper plane. haha

[@Russell-1]

That looked great flying. No ailerons on the real one - just ‘wing warping’ cables.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

There is a RC version with ailerons. Could help for more easy flying.

[@deanedeane4318]

That was such fun !!! Friggin awesome Job Lads !!!😉🙃😎 NZ

[@mustafagadaffi4680]

big salute dear Robert...and Blazz!!!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Big salute back my friend.

[@vernonlloyd1388]

Captain blaž you're a star 🌟 Its not that bad a looking bird 😁

[@stone8597]

I think this model needs either some dihedral or some wash-out on the wing...make it more stable. Lots of fun to watch. Thanks.

[@Snarlerx]

Prfekt maiden nice job Blaž and 👨🏻‍✈️ Robert.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Thanks my friend. It sure was thrilling ;-

[@thebunkreport]

That airplane is just awesome!

[@bandroidonoffice6894]

"this was thrilling like 2020 was" :) you are awesome! :)))))

[@toralfcross3819]

Very nice bird I have that engine as well on a rcm pelikan bonnie 20 it runs beautifully and will idle for a very long time perfectly I think with a slightly more lean low speed mixture

[@saphire6735]

Missing one thing.......AILRONS !! Fantastic vlogers 😀👍🏻

[@ChrisZwolinski]

Great looking scale. Crazy rudder set up in that it is tapered smaller in the back making it not very effective. I LOVE the sound of the 4 stroke engine and the scarf in the wind is especially cool. You could always build a new wing with AILERONS, but that rudder is still a hindrance with this plane.... very little stabilization or control. BIG SALUTE to Captain Blaz for keeping it together.

[@ChrisZwolinski]

Found a new engine for you Blaz kzbin.info/www/bejne/an6lZGx8rq6JpKM

[@crisslastname9417]

[@Glenfilthie1]

100 THUMBS UP CAPT. BLAZC!!!! Jeez that thing sounded great!

[@williameaston136]

Beautiful plane and flying!Thank you for sharing this 😊

[@williamrobinson7435]

I prefer Wannabedove as the name. 11/10 to Capt. Blaz for getting this down Intact. Most of the airflow to rudder is disturbed by the pilot's head & cowling, especially in the right hand turn, where you don't have the torque from that beautiful, sexi Saito 40 to assist (enough to compensate for lack of ailerons). Maybe use clear plastic to enlarge the rudder? The slight gull wing also impedes steerage. Most entertaining! Big saute to the Kostenjavica Kittyhawks from the Surbiton Sparrows..

[@truenaturestormers2525]

I was holding my breath great job on the flight and landing oooooooo yaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

[@elpunto231]

Oh me tooo ;))

[@zachariogrody]

Captain Blaz... glow engine lover, like me! Saito fa40, i have the same. It will be work in Baby Ace D. Salut from Cracow in Poland.

[@LEGOBubuS]

There are two type of RC flight: the one you fly with pure joy, and the other when you fly with goosebumps.. :D Good job, Capt Blaz! :D I see Pilot Robert enjoyed it a bit more! :D Big Salute! ,o7 Cheers, N.

[@patrickibex]

Good Effort there Captiain Blaz , It looks like you had your hands full in that Maiden ;)

[@davefoley1776]

Awesome maiden flight.

[@Mr4306sl]

A great flight! Nice plane Great pilot!

[@frankienv3906]

That Flight was pure skill..! I never fly anything without Ailerons. I would upgrade it by making the top rudder taller. it looked like you were trying to fly a kite with no string..lol The Etrich Taube, also known by the names of the various later manufacturers who built versions of the type, such as the Rumpler Taube, was a pre-World War I monoplane aircraft. It was the first military aeroplane to be mass-produced in Germany. Top speed: 62 mph Range: 87 mi First flight: 1910 Designer: Igo Etrich 👎 lol Maiden flight & Last Flight by Capt Blaz 2021 ...lol

[@Daniel_SWE]

Wow, what a model!

[@mathiasr.sander-nielsen5250]

Very good flight thanks for sharing, Rc friends Salute. 👌😁

[@gregoryh4601]

Capt Blaz. Just add more Rudder. By squaring it up on the top side . Then try it ,no luck add a little more to top .

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

Look at Dis 😍. OH Yeahhhhhh. This Old Man from North Carolina does not recall a morning I've laugh this much. Capt Blaz awesome flying. Pilot Robert great video. Do love me some Brothers. ✈️😎💝💝

Please be careful when Erik visits you. I think he will shoot you down eh!

[@FlankerTanker]

I think it needs a much smaller engine - it does look very good Well done Pilot Blaz - big salute from Cambridgeshire UK

[@Deano54]

Greetings from Arkansas USA. That looked like flying a kite not sure where it may go. Good flying Captain Blaz.

[@teamsycotik]

I think the rudders are supposed to be set as the ailerons so when using as rudder they more together and when you use aileron the move opposite of each other to twist the plane I bet with that programming it would fly way better

[@mostgrossdanger04]

I was down ...now I'm right back up again...lol..pure joy. ..... thanks for keeping it real lads... I'm in Aussie now but if I ever make it back to Europe...the beers are on me.

[@andrewmagro7703]

Killing myself here Robert , HAHAHAHA - Blaz, The Exhaust Looks Like it was Loose , Hope all Goes good , Man That was a good flying control from you Blaz, Yes You was right it was so sensitive unbelievable,best thing you done was throttle back , good Job My Friend well done , keep this for a hangar Queen , :-))))

[@philbarnes9361]

On a more serious note regarding the taube. Im sure the original had wing warping. Im sure blaze could rig up a closed cable system to twist the wing to get the desired aileron effect. Should fly lovely then

[@russc3288]

Definately a 10++++++ for the flight and a solid 10 for zooming. Its old school and for that the bird gets a 9 just for living this long. Thx for the show and stay safe RC/USA

[@signrossi1]

Blaz! Congratulations for the flight! But what´s with you? The Nitro-Doc! Taking the starter to start the sexy FA 40!!

[@michaelmaucher998]

Congrats Captain Blaz, I was very surprised that the plane flew as good as it did with the flat wing and no ailerons... awesome job

[@guycaputo6598]

Captain Blaz you did wonderful for a 3 ch flyer. You flew a scale plane that like your brother said, it flys like the real plane. You did a great job.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

He did amazing job on this crazy bird.

[@christianstephan1077]

Cooler Vogel . Schönes Flugbild .

[@blackimp4987]

hearing you laughing so much made me smile :) love you guys. About rudder I suppose the triangular forms lets too much air flow between rudder and stabilizer creating vortices

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

We always love good fun my friend.

[@jeffwest5080]

You need down thrust and right thrust specially on a three channel plane very important! Add some thrust angles and it will fly much better.

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Maybe we will play with that in the future.

[@FlyingBuzzard]

really awesome flight with a difficult bird, but Capt. Blaz made it look easy...SA-LUTE

[@danielnadj34]

Best Vidoo ever....you Guys are the best...from me you get 10+. The Plane is very beauty full. I think the Problem is the Ruder. Big Salute my Brothers.

[@skydive1424]

That brought a big smile on my face! Brotherly love; no mercy!💪😂😂

[@elpunto231]

Thanks!!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Oh yeah my friend ;-)

[@Bellakelpie]

Have you checked the lateral balance of the model? It may be slightly left wing heavy and need a bit of weight added to the right wing tip. Also, check for any warping in the wing itself. If the balance is fine, there is no warping in any of the flying surfaces and the engine thrust line is correct, then the model should fly straight. A bigger prop to lower the engine revs would also help slow it down. The real Taube was no speed demon after all. 😉. But , beautifully flown Capt Blaz.

[@twest344]

Imagine flying the real one... with no piloting experience, no wind tunnel, build it and go! The early days of aviation were an adventure

[@elpunto231]

Oh that was very crazy ;))

[@Soryt]

nice plane for the ceiling 😎🤣

[@stuffifindinteresting2115]

Such a beautiful plane. Perhaps the torque of the rudder servo isn't sufficient enough for flight. Maybe try the rudder and manually apply counter pressure on the rudder to see. Always worth a shot, worse case scenario you have a beautiful wall hanger.

[@tarekmajzoub4572]

Good JOB in landing it in one piece ;), I think more expo to the rudder but also Pilot Robert has a point that it is small rudder, but at the end really great flight and beautiful video capture specially for the scarf it looks awesome :D :D Even as a viewer I think most of us felt stressed the moment it rotated from the ground. Oh Yeahhh Salute

[@williamrobinson7435]

10,000 A4 sheets will make 40,000 elavon delta paper planes capable of loops, inverted, corkscrew rolls, slow and sexi, dramatic landings on shiny floors, landing amusingly in pizza, flying between face and computer &c.. Big salute to the boys in Kostenjavica from Surbiton.

[@RB-qg1qx]

Good job Captain, Salute!

[@alexisscott9573]

Hi guys, I think you need to look a little closer at how that model is set up with regards to Gspot etc as my father had one of that same model which was from a Balsa USA kit and it flew much much better than the way you experienced it, it could be rolled infact quite well and still with only rudder and elevator ours was powered with an open rocker enya and could be flown very enthusiastically withno drama at all, as an aside our common friend Andrew who visited you a couple years ago from Adelaide would also remember the fun we had with the Taube

[@jasonbrand5352]

You may need 2/3degrees side thrust on the engine to the right captain !!

[@theresnobodyhere5778]

great flying Blaz that was funny,but imagine the real one would have been as scary to fly ,this plane is from the early days of flight ,looks great model but could improve it with a little work on rudder or wings
