Such a beautiful airplane with the best sounding engine I've ever heard. If I could share a story with you, I was working on something in my garage One Summer and I heard an aircraft flying overhead. It had an unusual sound unlike anything I've ever heard before and I thought it may have been a helicopter. I didn't bother to run out and look. About five minutes later I heard the same sound coming around and I decided to run out of the garage and look into the sky and to my amazement it was a P-51 Mustang which totally sent chills up my back. He was low and coming toward my direction so I started to jump up and down waving my hands and he cocked his wings for me which is still making me smile to this day. That weekend there was the airshow in Chicago on the lakefront. Good luck out there and keep em' flying.

[@vintagestrings6]

I forgot to stress in my comment that the sound of the Mustang was totally amazing off the charts.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

vintagestrings6 *_thank you for your kind comments._* I can imagine, that you will never forget the situation with the Mustang. I would be happy to see one flying over my house. _Cheers, RCSA_

[@vintagestrings6]

RCScaleAirplanes The sound was haunting and surreal. It felt like I was transported back in time.

[@boscosdadhorvath6719]

Nice story Made ME smile too

[@MechCowboy]

Don't Be Shleepin This story may or may not have brought a tear to my eye...(cough,cough)

[@philipbrailey]

This video never ceases to amaze me. That model cuts the air and such a structured flight plan. It glides too. Never seen such professionalism.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind comment, which I really appreciate !!!_

[@Tonnsfabrication]

Ive never watched an R/C video that actually made my heart rate increase like this one did. That model is extremely sexy! After 30 years of flying, Ive said Lipo's changed the R/C world so much that gas was a thing of the past. I take that back now!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind comment!!!_ Electric models are good for flying fields which has noise limitations and for those which don't like to handle with fuel. I'm happy that there are still many pilots use the loud and stinking petrol version ;) Merry Christmas !!!

[@greggrialou983]

+Southeastern Ohio Homestead I agree! This video got my blood going......great sound! The Spit has always been a favorite of mine........

[@Tonnsfabrication]

+Greg Grialou I just watched it again, forgot all about till you chimed in. Man that thing is awesome.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you. _Have a look at this Spitfire. Same pilot different plane (like a copy of the one in this video) at JOE NALL WEEK._ *_enjoy_* kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6rcmKywir2inMU

[@basimpsn]

That pass with the f104 and the spitfire was cool as hell

[@joecro8463]

That plane is one of the coolest I've ever seen. Love the three cylinder motor!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your kind comment. Here is the flight of the brother Spitfire. *_enjoy_* kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6rcmKywir2inMU

[@jetvalmonte4742]

Everything about this model, the self-starting engine, quality of build, the faithfulness to scale, flying qualities, all scream "Masterpiece". Your flying skill is outstanding as well! Thank you for posting.

[@taofledermaus]

That was a great sounding plane! I almost mistook it for a plane at the Reno air races! Great video work as always, Horst!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you _Jeff_. It's always a pleasure to read your great comment !!!

[@jamesfieweger8648]

I agree, it completely took me off guard. Great vid Horst, keep up the good work.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

James Fieweger Many thanks _James_. Much appreciated!!!

[@LucchiniSW]

Best thing about this is it sounds like a higher pitched spitfire. Really an amazing engine.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

LucchiniSW Thank you for your kind comment !!!

[@philipbrailey]

And the flying and gliding. Wow!!!

[@Helo1able]

There's nothing like the sound of a real engine. And that was one of the best sounding ones I've heard. Impressed...Period!!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your great comments._ I'm very glad to know that you liked watching the video !!!

[@americanspirit8932]

That is a kolm engine, four-stroke and sounds fantastic. Also has a remote starter, I've use remote starters on several of my planes. Remote starters are very inexpensive approximately $110, and it takes about 25 to 35 minutes to install and it uses a lithium ion 3 cell battery. I've seen his plane fly in person several times it looks great and sounds fantastic.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your kind comment which I really appreciate !!! 🤙😉

[@ChrisB257]

That and the P51 'Galloping Ghost" both have that superb Kolm sound - great power and wonderful realism.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate. I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video. _Regards, RCSA_

[@jamesharden997]

The sound is beyond awesome.

[@berniekoussoulos7432]

I keep coming back to this fantastic spitfire , I never get tired of the shear power and sound of that engine and of course being installed in a war bird like that .just WOW.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate. I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video. _Best regards, RCSA_

[@jtuttle11]

That has to be the Most AWESOME sounding model I've seen since the Moki powered Corsairs and Thunderbolts. How cool would this be in a Mustang. I think I'd lose my mind!

[@tomview1]

Best sounding model yet - exhaust pulse rate is about right. Imagine a Merlin at about 1/4 of the rpm !! The Kolm 3 cylinder is doing 10 - 12Krpm, the Merlin 12 cylinder doing 2500 to 3000 rpm. Sounds very cool.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your compliments, _Tom_. Much appreciated. _Best regards, RCSA_

[@philipbrailey]

This Spitfire still sounds and looks the best in flight.

[@spocktra50]

Best sounding model ever,fan bloody tastic. Great job Horst.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

***** Many thanks for your cool comment !

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

spocktra50 thank you _Mark_ ... much appreciated !!!

[@monjon868]

ditto:)

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Monjon Movies thanks !

[@jolichja]

I much more prefer the sound of the moki 250 and 400.

[@PhilBender612]

THIS has to be the best sounding engine I ever heard. Wow, just wow.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the sound. 🤙😎

[@philipbrailey]

Has to be the best video I’ve ever seen.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

philip Brailey _Thank you for your kind comments, Philip. Much appreciated !_

[@dongchankim2417]

Just like a real color WW2 Footage! With awesome realistic sounds! Great work!!!

[@Thekeeper2121]

That's got to be the best sounding rc plane I've ever heard.

[@joshl4209]

Type in ( moki 400 ) in the search bar. This Kolm is awesome no doubt and makes since in a water cooled type air frame like the spitfire, but nothing beats the pure power of the moki radials sound.

[@DonIxtrim]

Thank you!!!!

[@joshl4209]

Thomas Gass Hey Thomas, I meant no disrespect to your plane or engine. It is without a doubt a thing of pure beauty as is. Hands down one of the best sounding spits I've seen. Fantastic work!

[@DonIxtrim]

No problem Josh. I like the sound of big radials too ;). Thanks Tom!

[@RCWyoming]

That is one of the sweetest sounding planes i've ever heard. Very cool.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you very much for your kind comment. I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video. Best regards from Germany, RCSA

[@phil123711]

This is the only model spitfire I've seen that actually flys with grunt and looks like the real thing. One can just imagine watching the first spitfire flat out making the crowd really excited and just like this brilliant model. Thanks for posting. Great flyer also.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you _Phil_. I'm very pleased about your kind comment !!! Best regards, RCSA

[@gw2934]

Wow,what a stunning plane,,the engine sounds amazing !!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Indeed! 🤙😎

[@lyallrobertson9761]

WOW!! What a fantastic model with the best sound. And superbly flown as well

[@philipbrailey]

I can't get over how good this is in every facet. Absolutely brilliant.

[@philipbrailey]

The best video out of all of them. Simply brilliant.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated !!!_

[@CAT5752]

Beautiful plane and excellent job flying Mr Gass. Incredible speed and sound.

[@DonIxtrim]

Thanks!

[@Revorob]

That is by far the best sounding RC plane engine I have ever heard!!!!! Bloody awesome!!!!!!!

[@2warhammer34]

Listen to galloping ghost with the 4cyl Kolm

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

+Revorob Thank you for your compliments !!!

[@phil123711]

That's the greatest rc model I've ever seen.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Many thanks _Phil_ !!!

[@phil123711]

I can't stop watching this. It bloody looks like the real thing. On the dive it gives me a chill down my spine. And when coming slowly into land you would think it was 1942. Best ever.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Again ... many many thanks for your great comment !!!

[@Lost_Hwasal]

If that came flying over the horizon id think it was the real thing.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind comments. Much appreciated !!!_

[@abakrem]

Fantastic sound, and beautifully flown.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate. I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video. _Regards, RCSA_

[@SuperDigitalArtist]

one of the best RC videos i've seen so far !!!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate. I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video. _Best regards, RCSA_

[@philipbrailey]

Without a doubt this is the best rc film for realism I've ever seen. Brilliant.

[@homestyle2000]

I love RC planes but I'm constantly annoyed with video of them on KZbin. they have shaky camera work, poor sound and in some cases even annoying intros or music. This is by far the best RC plane video I have ever seen. the flying was great, the engine sound amazing and the quality of the video itself was great. It's amazing to see how a 3 cylinder sounds so close to a V12.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate. I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video!!! _Best regards, RCSA_

[@Malou-ly2lk]

Beautifull big scale spit, and what sound!!! it seems the real one! great vid

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate. I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video. _Regards, RCSA_

[@Brandis56]

Great sound and great flying thanks for the info Tom

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

You're always welcome !!!

[@christopherderaps]

Best sounding RC I've ever heard. What a beautiful craft!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Glad you like it!

[@MrBenski81]

That is one of the best sounding RC warbirds I have ever seen. Well done mate! Sensational!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video.

[@arfrekr]

I love the sound. that sounds better than a jet. sounds like a serious hot rod. flys like a racer just badass. love it.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate. _Regards, RCSA_

[@coreyfro]

That sounds....I cannot describe how good that sounds...

[@philipbrailey]

Takes my breath away. Closest thing to perfect. Thanks for posting.

[@oaxelo1]

Awesome plane!!! and that sound . . . . . gorgeous!!!! In my opinion the Spitfires were the most beutiful warbirds ever

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate. _Best regards, RCSA_

[@philipbrailey]

Seriously, the best r/c aircraft I have ever seen.

[@rezdog311]

Amazing Spit, just love all that torque and realistic sound, also nice on the sticks there bro..

[@leesmartin]

I've been watching RC jet vid's for ages (I'm not an RC hobbyist) and have been amazed at them, yet this Spitfire has to be the best I've seen yet of any RC plane. All it needs is some guns shooting at a Messerscmidt! What a sound! Great video guys

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate. I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video. _Best regards, RCSA_

[@grizzleguts6331]

Absolutely loved it !!!! i couldn't stop smiling all the way through- cheers and all the best from Tasmania.

[@shaunolinger964]

Even my wife was laughing and cheering at this one. We just had a bit of "blurry screen syndrome" watching the Galloping Ghost with this same engine. My parents were there that day working pit crew for Czech Ride. These engines have such an incredible sound... it's easy to see and hear the real thing in them. Beautiful build!

[@jamesmorfison2008]

Thomas, I watched it again, it just doesn't get old ,it's like ROCK N ROLL Music , Rolling Stones. ......

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you very much for your kind comments. Much appreciated!

[@DonIxtrim]

+James Morfison Thank you James :-)

[@philipbrailey]

It's still the best clip I have ever seen.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

philip Brailey *_THANKS !!!_*

[@stutilly2332]

Fast with a fantastic sound....and superb piloting

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

THANKS !!!

[@Cadillacstsv06]

Wow, that Spitfire is spittin fire… holy hellishly fast and sounds just awesome as well! Gorgeous fighter and the pilot flew the wings off it! Very pretty landing to cap off an amazing flight of an amazing planes! One look at those velocity stacks and cylinders you knew it was going to bad too the bone! Fantastic camerawork and audio as always Horst, brilliant! Danke schön and Three thumbs up… one for each cylinder!!! :)

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Many thanks for your awesome comment, _Fred_ !!! I was waiting to see the spit with this engine and finally, last weekend I got the chance to shot a video of it. Last year it flew with a 2 cyl. KOLM engine. Now one cyl. more and even with a e-starter. Thanks to Thomas ! I'm very glad to know, that you like it. Best regards, Horst

[@fingers967]

What i see here in this video is the best representation of a spitfire to date .. even the sound on the last garound is so authentic ,I felt like I was there .. and so fast and flown like scale .. Im impressed .. such a nice job !!!!

[@d889jcl]

probably the coolest sounding scale iv ever heard!!!!! amazing!

[@specforged5651]

God damn that is pure music to my ears!! About as close as it gets to sounding like the real v12s.

[@choctaw111]

This is the closest sounding to the real thing I have heard to date.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

*_thanks !!!_*

[@NekoTaisen]

Totaly agree ! 3, 6, 9 and 12 cylinders have the same explosion cycle, that's why it's close to the real Merlin sound :)

[@nickhayley]

Except at idle when she sounds like she's blowing bubbles 🤣🤣

[@DickGibson]

That sounds sooo freakin real it is amazing. Great job guyz Far out man

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Hi _Dick_. Many thanks for your cool comment! Much appreciated !!!

I can't stop watching this video! Such a beautiful R/C aircraft and it sounds like music for my ears! What is the cost of an engine like that?

[@DonIxtrim]

Thank you!!! The engine is about 3450 euro. Plus 460 for electric start. Tom

[@madthough2298]

+Thomas Gass Sounds so good, but I'm assuming 3450 euro is a lot of money haha

[@HBFTimmahh]

​@@madthough2298 around 4500 usd today.

[@drewbrown3082]

Damn that's probably the best sounding model I've ever heard. Almost sounds like the real thing

Id rather see a 2 blade prop on it Cuz then it would give a very scale prop rip sound on top of the beautiful combustion sound that would really make scale enthusiast drool even more
