Fantastic engineering. I love it.

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Great in depth video of the plane. Please keep it coming!

[@daszieher]

Sauber, "Modellbau" in groß! So wie man sich das als kleiner Junge einmal vorgestellt hat! Weiter viel Erfolg mit der Umsetzung ❤

[@virtualinfinity6280]

What a beautiful plane. Absolutely breathtaking. I wonder, if the canopy frame is provides structural rigidity in case you'll manage to flip over during landing - it looks somewhat flimsy, but with carbon fiber, that impression can be misleading. I love the clear trim indicators and that you can map various functions to your stick buttons.

awesome aircraft! Are there any plans for a spitfire?

[@gianlucacrino]

You did an incredible job! Well done

[@bubba4072]

This looks amazing! I love it!!!

[@mgbrv8]

When are you going to make a carbon Fw190??

[@majic5zero]

Beautiful airplane. My question is: Can this aircraft be built and flown as a single seater. If not now, what about in the future? Any plans for a single seater?

[@Optimus-Prime-Rib]

Is there a all glass cockpit configuration with a moving map for navigation? PS: Spitfire as your next scale warbird 😉

[@scalewingsaircraft]

Yes, the 007 will get a Garmin G3X Touch 10' plus G5 backup. This is the full glass version then.. :) Greetings SW

[@beniva1]

SN 04 has moving map as well, on the Dynon hdx

[@Late4my8]

Very well done. I need one!

[@leadsolo2751]

Brilliant Stuff !! ✌🏽😎

[@chrism9976]

Very cool!

[@BedaDondi]

Your finished plane is very nice and all the gauges are very well thought out. I hope mine turns out this well. I would like to know which features are standard and which are not during the explantion . For example is the gear indicator part of the landing gear assembly or is that a optional feature?

[@scalewingsaircraft]

Hi Beda, we offer Add-On packages, the landing gear control panel is part of the Systems Package. I have sent you the list per email. Please review and let me know which Add-Ons you would like to add to your Kit.

@@scalewingsaircraft I have 1 question only. Why did you not build it a full scale? What was the engineering/marketing reasoning? Especially for the North American market a bit more room...and the nostalgia of the full size awesomeness...it would also give weight/room for more serious engines...What am I missing here?

[@mehrschwein7378]

@@electricaviationchannelvid7863 the plane is supposed to be more affordable than the original. If they sell something at original scale with almost original fuel consumption, the market gets way smaller.

[@electricaviationchannelvid7863]

@@mehrschwein7378 If it were a under 100k USD GA aircraft I would agree but it is way more than that...in the current price range it does not matter anymore for the buyer 50k more or less...there will be more demand than production capacity no matter the size and the associated cost...correct me if that is a wrong prediction... Please bring up some company market research- market expected-tendency numbers... ENGINEERING WISE it would not need the original fuel consumption since different structural weight/payload/aero-foil/total drag coefficient would be applied...

[@mehrschwein7378]

@@electricaviationchannelvid7863 double the size is not just double the cost, it would probably be at least 3-4 times the cost. that with a bigger engine just makes the difference. Someone who works as an engineer, management etc. can find a way to finance a 150 k plane but not a 300k+ plane. This is not a house, its a toy. And if I buy a plane I want to fly it, not only sit pretty in some hangar. So running costs are also very important.

[@DIYPackraft]

Beautiful!

[@EatPezzzz]

I'll be a huge fan of this airplane as soon as someone puts an engine fit for a fighter plane replica.

[@hugechimp]

Excellent...WANT

[@aaroncm545]

dios que avión tan hermoso, estoy enamorado de él, espero dentro de unos años poder comprarme uno!

[@Smokeyr67]

Hi guys, great aircraft, maybe the next one you could plan is a twin...perhaps a mosquito??

[@sethr.4600]

Nice. Selling any t-shirts?

[@spinnetti]

Primo! With so many Mustang replica's how did you happen to choose that one? I would love a similar 2 seater layout in a FW-190 :)

[@CoachBaker_11]

Can a bag of golf clubs fit behind the co-limit seat?

[@christianmaas8934]

Lighter than a 152, fast as an RV-7, sleeker than a ducks back.

[@ceetressj.3007]

Ich bin absolut begeistert von der Maschine. Dieses Jahr werde ich mit meinem Produktentwicklung und technischen Design Studium fertig. Sucht Ihr Ingenieure? Ich würde es lieben, für euch arbeiten zu dürfen.

[@SteveAubrey1762]

How does age& uv light affect the airframe?

[@michaeltreacysr.983]

Will there be a cockpit layout with instrument landing avionics?

[@scalewingsaircraft]

for instrument flying yes, but no instrument landing.. Greetings SW

[@86Spain]

my only concern is that you keep selling it by the time I've saved up the money to buy it xD

[@cj-ip3zh]

Can I have autopilot?

[@stevemiller2210]

The reason he fits so well is that he’s small

[@Jim.Thunda]

Why would any sound minded aviation enthusiast go to all that trouble designing an aircraft and put a crappy engine in it.

[@Captndarty]

Crappy engine? You’re definitely not of sound mind. The Rotax 915 has more in common with the original Merlin than any junk legacy you might have in mind. Gear reduction, liquid cooled, and forced induction. But you didn’t know any of that…
