We'll never see the real thing in flight, but this is as close as it gets! Wonderful job and skills.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you very much. Glad you like it 🤙😎

[@aurigo_tech]

The future is long. I could imagine a time where full scale replicas of classic planes are being build because we can. Well, if I was a billionare I certainly would do so.

[@scottgorman7166]

Oh boy that Junkers is a beauty. What a treasure to build and fly! Horst you sure have great backdrops for your videos, the mountains and forests just brings us back to a time when they were using these planes for another purpose. The visuals are outstanding! Thanks again for some more eye candy.

Fantastic model, one of my favourites of Ju88 series. The realism and attention to detail on this model is on another level.

[@bird271828]

When I was 10 years old, my father bought me a plastic model airplane kit of this Junkers JU-188 aircraft. Of course, it couldn't fly. But I daydreamed that it would fly😍. I loved that kit. Thank you for your videos and bringing back good memories.

[@dr.gudmundssonaircraftdesign]

Very impressive model and aviating! Thanks for sharing. (By the way, there's an error in the conversion of the wing area: 3.2 m² = 34.4 ft², not 3.6 ft².)

[@jamesfrost7465]

Wonderful! I've always liked this design. I didn't know its wing tips came to a point. I like the way you kind of duplicated the swastika on the rudder, even though its against the law to duplicate it in Germany. Good job and it sounds terrific! Perfect approach and three point landing.

[@timothyirwin8974]

It was a development of the Ju-88 which had shorter wings regular wings. The new wings provided in the 188 gave better high altitude performance.

[@Eccentric5B]

Absolutely stunning.

[@kf2510]

Wow amazing!! I wonder is this a kit? Where does the builder get all the detailed specific parts for this plane??

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Hi. This model is completely built from scratch. Except the engines, electronics and servos are handmade. Here is a video the cockpit which was partially made of 3D printing. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/inm6nJp7gdGXfZo

Nice to see this Bird still flying! I believe this is the same Ju-188, that I've seen Maiden on another You-Tube Channel!?

[@RCFlyingDoc]

feines Großmodell, wie zuvor schon angedeutet scheint die Einstellung um die Querachse nicht zu stimmen, das Modell fliegt eine Wellenlinie - Ist da ein Gyro drin, der vielleicht zu empfindlich reagiert? Der Schwerpunkt dürfte wohl eher nicht das Problem sein.

how much does this helicopter cost?$

[@wuseling]

Beautifully built model...though I don't understand what the engineers were thinking when creating the original (especially the wing design is weird, maybe they wanted to reduce drag?)

[@icin4d]

Looks inherently unstable. Especially at slower speeds.

[@terryfletcher6465]

Wasn't it intended for high altitude?

[@strenggeheim6672]

Ein hervorragendes Modell! Nur muß die Flug-und Starterscheinung noch etwas angepasst werden. Es fliegt noch zu Modellmäßig . Längere Start und Landestrecke, ruhigere und kleinere Ruderausschläge würden was Erscheinungsbild dem Original noch näher bringen. Man könnte die Dieseleinspritzung für beide Motoren getrennt steuerbar machen, so kann man zerschossene Motoren simulieren, etwa nach einem Luftkampf mit feindlichen Jägern. Ansonsten ein brilliantes Modell. Nur die Bombenschächte vermisse ich noch. 👍🏻

[@taofledermaus]

Such an great looking plane. Didn't Adi build three of these at the same time?

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

*Thank you Jeff.* 🤙😎 Originally 4 pieces were planned. Three of them in the same club, the fourth model was to be built in Germany. The current situation is as follows: Two planes are on duty and have already completed several flights. The third model is partially built but will take another year or two to complete. Unfortunately, I have no information about the fourth model in Germany. The Ju-188 with factory number #1 was also present at this event, but unfortunately the pilot had problems with his radio equipment in the morning when he was flying his large P-47 Razorback and for this reason the Junkers stayed on the ground.

[@taofledermaus]

@@RCScaleAirplanes Just realized how many years it's been since the maiden flight of the first one.

Absolutely amazing. A joy to watch. A lot smoother than the test flights, they have been busy! Can't wait to see them in formation flanked by FW190s!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thanks for your kind comment, Sam. Still they have to do a lot more flights in order to get confident with the plane. Sure one day there will be a flight of both 188's together with one or two 190's _Cheers, Horst_ 😉

[@airraptor]

Still looks tail heavy, way to much elevator or pilot needs some expo... good job overall though
