lucky you, i wish i could have gotten that close of a look!

[@PatBALEX]

I got a close look.. Bret had the XB-70 at the Toledo r/c Expo last year.. Great job.. Beautiful EDF jet.. My chip was full and I couldn't get pictures..

[@jeffhenderson934]

My dad was the Project Engineer on the original. This is going to blow his mind when I send him this video. Two issues he had and never solved- Paint wouldn’t stay on the jet a top speed and the tires would melt at top speeds. Not sure he ever solved either issue. Thanks for all the time spent building this. You’re gonna put a big smile on a 90 year old, retired USAF pilot.

[@cheyennespuzzle3955]

my grandfather may have worked with your dad :)

[@jeffhenderson934]

Cheyenne Cobble my dad worked on it 1961-1964. We did a little time at Patrick AFB during the “Space Boom”. He decided he missed flying and we spent a few years a Clark AFB in the Philippines so he could fly C-130’s. But the B-70 was his baby.

[@reconforsales7708]

Oh really. My uncle designed the toilets on the valkarie

[@Sogard22]

@@Future-Preps35 the tires would burn upon landing, not take off. Like the Springfield tire fire

[@Rayburn58]

Your dad should have asked KellyJohnson on how to overcome those issues

[@richardbrady2818]

My dad worked for North American Aviation for 40yrs El Segundo plant, he worked in transportation semi truck driver. He worked till shortly after the XB70 contract collapsed in the late 70s. I remember he was always making runs to Edwards AFB delivering parts for the X15 then the XB70, and he got to attend a test flight one time. But now he is gone at 95 yrs. as of 3-10-2021, he was the best man,and I do miss him. Really enjoyed the video, and what a great build you did, thanks.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Wow, that’s awesome

[@ILSRWY4]

Never ceases to amaze me how an exact replica can fly in RC miniature form and be stable enough without sophiscated flight control systems, stability agumentation and central air data computers.

[@Realitygetreal]

Serious, MANY people use 6 axis gyro's now

[@arlenbell4376]

Just go to see the original at the Air Force Museum three days ago. I’ve been wanting to see it sinceI read about the crash of the second one built in 1966. I think this is the most incredible aircraft ever built and flown. Unbelievable detail in this model and how well it flies!

[@JamesMossR33]

Just watched an R/C Concorde video and wondered if anyone had built a Valkyrie - turns out they have! This is an amazing plane and flies great, fantastic job. Was lucky enough to see the real one at Dayton in '86, and I'll never forget it, what an incredible plane.

[@brentnorman6848]

One of the coolest scratch built EDF out there! So beautiful Bret Becker!

[@highnitro707]

Great job!! I know watching the footage that shes a handful. Looks like the decent rate drops off shaply with the slightest change of aoa/power. What a beautiful model. its always been a dream of mine to scratch build a scale valkarie as well. Again kudos on your skills managing that beast... truly making it look easy. Most modelers have no idea the skill involved! I love how this model lives in the high alpha regime...

[@andie_pants]

Grew up on trips to the USAF Museum (live nearby), and the XB-70 was my first true love. Maybe the closest I'll ever come to seeing 'er fly. :-D

[@ToyKingWonder]

So well built it looks like it came out of a factory!

[@josephramsey124]

Beautiful!

[@johanveltheim4331]

One of my all-time favourites as well! I could spend a day watching delta wing approaches and landings, "belly-first" high alpha slow flight. Could be because I grew up next to a military airfield watching (and hearing...) Saab 35 Drakens, happy days...

[@martynh5410]

Absolutely wonderful! It flew well and sounded cool. I’m jealous!

[@robertwebber7633]

Came across this by accident. Great stuff. Still going? Best designed aircraft ever.

[@barrymccockiner6641]

Well done with the little drag chute.

[@Cubby-np7ne]

Just came across this! The XB70 is my favorite plane. I'm lucky to live so close to it which allows me to see it several times a year. I also got to meet Brett at our home field event this year in Ohio. At Ejets and Ewarbirds I got to see Brett fly his little yellow bungee launched jet. He is an unbelievable designer. Now I just need to find out more about this Valkyrie!!!!

[@t23001]

Great video!

[@billiondollardan]

Oh my gosh it even uses a parachute! That's too dang cool

[@mobeyond]

a legend of aviation history 👍👍👍

[@lightsone2]

Outstanding work! A great plane.

[@CaptainPhoton64]

very cool sir...got to check out the XB-70 at the USAF Museum in Dayton

[@lionelchouard1744]

the most beautiful plane in the world !!

[@paulkersey2179]

That is incredible, great job.

[@Ahkeys82]

So cool. Love the parachute!

[@Skywarp0317]

I was hoping the wingtips would fold down during the flight lol... hey... didn’t that plane have 6 engines?

[@solidlift]

Yes it did. 6 YJ-93s. But for scale having the 4 doesn't look bad

[@Skywarp0317]

@@solidlift you’re right. It looks damn good.

Very Cool. I would like to see it rip around though. It needs to be scalding fast! He has got it flying, that is the hard part. Beautiful model..

[@BVRDesign]

Very slick!

[@MerryBoozerRC]

Amazing video Ryan love that plane the XB-70 is one of my favorite planes maybe motionrc can make one eventually for all of us mortals

[@ShadowOppsRC]

The xb-70 is defiantly a looker and one of my favs too!

[@wraitheful]

not bad for a 4-pack!

[@frankevega]

Cool xb70. I hopw your better with the camera by now.

Fantastico

[@TiffanyMontcrieff]

Someone should recreate the formation of when the original was lost with model airplanes !

[@hubertgunpowder]

Wow. Cool !!

[@madyogi6164]

Great model :D But needs 2 more "turbines" :D Very cool!

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

Great video of a great plane. 💝✈️

[@1212sman]

What about the compression lift function in the wings? I mean, he's got the folding windscreen and all.

[@waynelee6307]

Nice, got a thumbs up from me ✈

[@Speedlimitrc]

👍 well done

[@horrorcocktail]

In my opinion, one of the most beautiful planes ever built. Of course it is a war plane, but it's so elegant. Only comparable with the Concorde.

[@Navigator10016]

Wow!

[@josipvrandecic2472]

Hello , I see you've started to conquer of Mars planet...Congrats!

[@chuckwain5591]

Many years of RC experience here. The model looks great! Why not turn down the rates on the ailerons so that it looks more realistic in the air, not so twitchy? Flying line of sight is now pretty boring. Put a FPV camera in it and show video from the pilots perspective, much more interesting. Would probably make landing easier as well. I flew big airplanes line of sight for years, finally became totally turned off by it, FPV is so much more fun and realistic.

[@JetFan-qp6fr]

Incredible! Congratulations to the pilot,

[@thecraftking113]

Very cool . I Have a balsa b70 valkyrie kit from 1961 unbuilt still in box. .made for a .20 to .49 engine. I should build it now 👍

So COOL!! Especially love the trick windscreen and the chute!! Missing a couple YJ-93's tho!! Do the wing tips fold down?👊😉

[@Alex-jb5tb]

How I envy you ! With a parachute. How great is that ?

[@ukairgunner7459]

Only 4 exhaust nozzles? Why not the classic 'six pack'?

[@hifinsword]

My guess is the scale would make it much larger and so much more expensive. At some point you have to go with what's practical.

[@werikrodrigues3769]

@@hifinsword ssksjdnx

[@hifinsword]

@@scottc5619 Most notable features? Yes, by aviation enthusiasts. But the general public wouldn't even notice if the canards were missing. I can admire the fantastic engineering of this model as it is. The lack of the other 2 exhausts do not detract from my appreciation in the least amount of what Bret has accomplished.

[@enzok6414]

I wish the jet jam is a monthly event. Or at least twice a year!

[@USNVA11]

That is sooo cool ! Is he going to add anhedral mechanisms to the outer wing panels, like the real XB-70 ?

[@johneyton5452]

So long as he doesn't add a chase plane.

[@Realitygetreal]

Cool but wonder why he choose 4 EDF, I have always wanted to build an XB70 with 6 64mm fans.. have even built the plug for the lifting fuselage.. but HOLY CRAP $$$$$$$$$$ SO cudo's to the builder for all the work..

[@boss2234]

Thank goodness man is always trying to build a better mouse trap.

[@user-nd4nz2zd9q]

Would you consider doing a plan of this or share dimensions please Sir?

[@RazgrizF14]

Amazing model, great job on the build but you seem to be missing a couple engines.

[@kennethmcdonald2952]

Do you by any chance habe plans I would love to buy some plans 😊

[@FerasAbuTaha]

Please. Please make the wing-tips fold down. I know that "compression lift" isn't possible on a model at that speed. BUT PLEASE make the wing tips fold.

[@roberthill7335]

The real one has six engines. But other than that it's damn cool! I understand there is nothing small enough to be able to fit six engines into an airframe this small. Anyone have a way ward F-104?

[@johnho7422]

agree the real one has six engines - maybe next years upgrade (plus drooping wings) great work!

[@doud623]

Nice but didn’t the xb70 have 6 engines?

[@mozasaurus]

Если бы крылья согнулись вниз, ставил бы лайк

[@beornthebear.8220]

As streamlines as it is, I'm surprised it lifted off so quickly. I know the original had 6 engines, but you need to work with what is available (larger jets per size of plane).

[@jennifermillerhoutz1927]

amazing just needs 6 engines

[@saltonearth.3650]

You made a 4 pack instead of 6 pack. It not built to a scale model of the XB70 2001.

[@danaperko2981]

I guess the 6 engine model wasn’t available

[@mecojoni90]

4 engines only?

[@viperdriver82]

Why does your XB-70 only have 4 engines ??

[@jeffmullinix7916]

It looks like it is flying at bear minimum air speed . It also looks like it is flying at high alfa .

[@montagray3761]

Incredible craftsmanship! I am curious though...the real XB-70 had 6 engines and this one has 4. Was this due to limitations in off the shelf engines or something else?

[@Yosemite-George-61]

... be careful of the "hot shots" flying F-104s... 🙂

[@jaybennett9853]

covert to micro turbine , would fly longer, lighter and sound more realistic. four 6s packs must weigh alot more than one small turbine.

[@vornamenachname3291]

its very cool, but the real one has got 6 engines

[@xanderclip]

The xb70 has 6 jets in the back not 4

[@mikegeorge5473]

Didn't the original plane have 6 engines ?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Yes

[@simonchaddock4274]

Pity it only has four EDFs!

[@ItsEdSilha]

Only 4 engines? That seems like a glaring flaw

[@losi5ivet29cc]

Um there's 2 engines missing? would it have been too complex to setup with 6 engines like the real thing? Nice plane otherwise.

[@SuperPalaver]

Probably the issue is getting small enough engines ATM. S couple of dummy exhaust nozzles might help. Still a masterpiece.

[@paulwright8532]

Yikes! How many pounds of air did you pump into that thing? Gotta be way overweight... ;-)

[@Naxt366]

whats the point when no wings curl in?

[@FarmerFpv]

*Typical Delta Wing Wag*. The only thing they're good for is going supersonic. But damn that is one *beautiful scratch build* Make sure you let Bret Becker know I said that! :) lol

[@toolbaggers]

Huh?

[@tomcatteer]

The original was 6 engines YJ93 not 4 😂😂

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Everyone knows, look at the comments. As a model it would have to be huge to support that weight

[@RCB58Hustler]

Lynn McCauley's was better ! And 28 Years earlier !

[@rossinimauro]

missing 2 engines. A toy not a model. no place for it in a serious modeling channel

[@PilotRyanMedia]

It’s an award winning model that is huge built by a fantastic modeler. Don’t be a jerk

[@arlenbell4376]

If anyone wants to be hung up on the 4 vs 6 engines, I’m waiting to see their “correct” model flying here.

[@leedavidsonshangar9908]

Wow !

[@hxtpl]

I just noticed that this model only has 4 jet turbines. The real one has 6.
