RC Blackburn Monoplane Type D 1912

[@6Sally5]

I’ve said it often, and will again…German modlers are just on a different level of quality and detail than the rest of us mortals. Congratulations!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Glad you think so. Thank you very much for your kind comment full of compliments which I really appreciate.

[@richard1472]

This is model aviation at its finest. Absolutely wonderful!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

AS A R/C FLYER AND BUILDER AND DESIGNER FOR NEAR ON 50 YEARS I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO THIS BUILDER AND FLYER. HE IS A CREDIT TO OUR HOBBY WORLD WIDE 👍👍👍.

[@gillesbueno1153]

…realism of the flight up to the ride after landing on the grass !… Absolutely fantastic ! Sir you are a wizard in your domain !👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bird271828]

This is beautiful😍. Wonderful landing at 8:28 👏👏👏👏

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Many thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@user-tl9en4eh4e]

Probably the most accurate RC model with accurate sound I've seen. Very good!!!!

[@olliea6052]

The animatronics on the pilot are top notch! 😁

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Many thanks, but the scene of pilot during the flight is not a model aircraft.

[@avipatable]

What a beautiful and elegant model. Loved the attention to detail and the wing warping. As always, top notch Horst!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you very much, Sam. Couldn't agree more! 🤗👍🏼

[@wilhelmgauthier3184]

Monsieur Santos-Dumont était un homme de grande classe ! 👍👍👍

[@453421abcdefg12345]

An absolute marvel! It is so nice to see this museum quality model flying, the take off and landing were both so good as to look full size, and flying at scale speed was a really nice touch, when I read this model was fitter with a radial 70 cc engine I thought we were in for a high speed demonstration, I hope this excellent model gives many more hours of enjoyment! Many thanks for posting Horst! Chris B.

[@RcNickster709]

Wow!!! What a gorgeous plane. Looked awesome in the air. Thanks for sharing

[@thecorbies]

Bravo! That flight AND landing is a credit to the pilot.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Many thanks !!!

[@ちゃんひめ-z9v]

Fantastic scale speed.👏

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Many thanks! 😊

[@locowerke]

Many thanks, Horst, for another superb production! This is a truly magnificent model and I also enjoyed the clip of the full-size aircraft in flight...magic!! Cheers, Dougal

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Hi Dougal. Thank you so much for your kind comment which I really appreciate. The clip of the full size Blackburn was taken at the Shuttleworth Collection. I've been there twice but unfortunately never saw it fly. _Cheers, Horst_

[@black_baron_net]

☠BLACK BARON☠0:25 This is what nowadays aviation engineers try to achieve. Transformable wings with all the mechtech stuff inside the wing. Absolutely great scale detail. The RPM indicator inside the cockpit is just great. It flies really scale 👍

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you so much for your kind comment which I really appreciate.

[@ChrisB257]

What a wonderful old bird - great detail and construction and the radial sounds just perfect. Stall speed - maybe 35 knots - hmmm! Love the live pilot clip. Absolute joy to see the graceful flight - and satisfying safe landing. Super video Horst :)

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Hi my friend. There was a lot of work to build this model from scratch. Thank you so much for your kind comment which I really appreciate. Glad you enjoyed it. _Cheers, Horst_

[@hillbilly4christ638]

I see some of the most technologically advanced RC videos and then this. This aircraft is magnificent! You deserve an award of some sort for the finest craftsmanship. What a great aircraft!

[@Scalefan23]

Thank you very much indeed for such a comment. I really feel honored.

[@taofledermaus]

Very cool plane, I like all the little details of it. Thanks Horst!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Hi Jeff. Thanks for the compliment. 😊

[@fredboat]

Thanks for the show, First class build/flight.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you so much for your kind comment !

[@twillison8824]

That motor sounds amazing

7 cylinder radial

[@dalimilkoutek6360]

Very nice plane, beautiful flight and beautiful landing. Congratulations, Dalimil Koutek, CzechRepublic.

[@johnkerr1953]

I very much enjoyed this great video - it was right up my street, l really love watching model planes & real planes - so many thanks for posting this trimendous video.

[@matthiashaenni]

Wow absolutely amazing! 🤩✈️👍

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thanks a lot!

[@SteamerEdge]

Congratulations Michael, the level of detail on this incredible scale model is amazing. The scale flying display was also exceptional. A very well produced and filmed video. thanks cheers Paul

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you so much for your kind comment full of compliments which I really appreciate. _Glad you liked the video_ 🤙😎

[@Scalefan23]

Hello SteamerEdge Since you addressed me by name I think it is okay to answer. I am glad you appreciate my efforts. I put all the effort into this model and made use of all the experience deriving from decades of model building. What you write about me flying the model tells me that you know how demanding it is to fly a model like this. Indeed I am very happy about what I achieved during the shooting. With Horst's excellent craftsmanship on top I feel it is all as close to the full size aircraft as a model can be. A dream has come true for me. I almost can't believe it. If others like the result too - even better.

[@specialized29er86]

Oh wow my favorite models and thanks for sharing.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you so much for your kind comment !

[@dodgebob1]

Wing warping r/c.....wow...great job..great video.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Many thanks. Glad you liked it.

[@AlessandroBottoni]

Oh my... ! This model is even more realistic than the real one! Congratulations!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thanks. Glad you think so.

[@jeffmullinix7916]

That pilot came alive once the plane got in the air . Amazing .

[@Scalefan23]

Hello everybody out there, When Horst and me did the shooting, I didn't think about what reactions to this film would be like at all. I just was happy with the fact that I had the chance to make a film as such. Honestly, I am absolutely overwhelmed by your comments and how much you appreciate the project. Thank you ever so much! Regards and always happy landings! Michael

[@dansmith7617]

Absolutely lovely! Now it only needs a rotary! ;-) Nice job on the wing warping too. -Dan

[@Scalefan23]

Thanks.

[@stevep4131]

A work of art.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

You nailed it. 🤙😎

[@gotchagoing4905]

That is BEYOND AWESOME !!! Simply BEAUTIFUL....and a working tach. Whoda thunk ;}>

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you so much for the compliments which I really appreciate.

[@PatBALEX]

Wow.. Wing-flexing..

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

like the real plane

[@ret737]

Absolutely stunning!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Glad you like it.

[@jensbraun7807]

Wow, absolut klasse Horst 😊😊😊

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Vielen lieben Dank, Jens. 👍😉

[@wilhelmgauthier3184]

Admirable travail, les gars ! L'aviation ukrainienne a besoin de vous !🔱😃

[@beb0p858]

In the thumbnail it almost looks like he is sitting in it 😅

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

*LOL* ... you're right 😂👍

[@jeffmullinix7916]

Dang that pilot looks real even his eyes move .

[@nigelcopestake3618]

Absolutely fabulous 😎👍👍👍

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you so much 😀

[@gilnemesis3547]

Splendide !!!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thanks !!!

[@steverushforth7009]

1 word, "stunning".

[@p-51d96]

Stunning achievement

[@Scalefan23]

Many thanks.

[@jamesweed8510]

Big triple like!!!! Just sever the pilots arms and put some pivot to Them attach them to the wheel you have it all , just fantastik!!!!

[@Scalefan23]

Hello James, rhanks for your suggestions, but I did not link the hands to the steering wheel for safety reasons. The wheel goes down below the wooden bar an slightly touches the thighs. So if anything ever got jammed this would be it...

[@RCFlyingDoc]

tolles Modell , scale geflogen 👌

[@roypasco6248]

I had a proctor antic biplane. It had a pretty complex cable control system. It fell victim to a earlier spectrum radio failure

[@212ntruesdale]

Lovely!

[@thomasfischer1017]

Fantastic Model 🛩👍⭐🛩⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Nice👍

[@發發發-e3r]

❤ it , look scale man 👍

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Glad you think so 🤗

[@pachanauta7083]

you are a genius!❤

[@wingbro1545]

Wunderschön!

[@Scalefan23]

Dankeschön. Schön, wenn man Freude daran hat.

[@agentolshki4265]

The flying to scale gives a great feeel of an early aircraft. Does it have much more power than that though?

[@Scalefan23]

Power is ok, but not surplus. If the radial engine does 5400 rpm, you are on the safe side when taking off. Let pick her up some speed before climbing. Climb gently. Depending on the weather she needs 5200 to 5700 rpm for gently cruiding around. Since the engine runs on methanol, it is on the rich side in the beginning. After about 8 minutes it is lean enough to reach its maximum revs - about 6100 rpm. Then time has come not to use full throttle any more and land her a minute or two later. Power is okay for flying, but there is a lack of power to overcome turbulences.

[@P51]

that thing is GORGEOUS. is anyone doing a rotary type model engine?

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Many thanks. Yes, De Vries build rotary model engines. Here you can see one in action >>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3qreaWMh9yqm7c Website >>> www.modellmotoren.eu/UML%20160.htm

[@johne9562]

Sweet😀

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thanks 😁

[@HayabusaGSXR-cv6ig]

What a beautifully 😍 built blackburn monoplane 🎉 wow 👌 that is shit hot 🔥 the scary thing was im absolutely sure Cyril Foggin took over flying your awsome machine shit i will watch it again im sure the pilot had a sneaky flight 😂😅😂

[@Marusija8]

[@huyenvuong1340]

Tuyệt vời ❤❤❤❤

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

THANKS !!!

[@lasersbee]

That scale model looks and flies like the full sized plane. Only thing missing is a flapping scarf around the pilots neck...😉

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your kind comment which I really appreciate. Well ... maybe next flight with a scarf ;)

[@jackwhitestripe7342]

sir one small child can sit on this plane maybe?

[@Scalefan23]

Hello there I am afraid no, it couldn't. There is by far less space for the pilot on this 1/3.25 fuselage than you would expect. Just imagine a 1.65 m tall pilot weighing about 55 kilos at that scale and you are there. The pilot would be squeezed in, his boots fairly close to each other on the rudder bar. It certainly wouldn't be very comfortable.

[@wilhelmgauthier3184]

You want to get rid of a child, Jack?... Ilt's not good ! 😄
