I don't understand why so many thumbs down on this video. This has got to be the most spot-on aircraft I have seen in the RC model world. I only have two words, perfectly executed!. upon every successful product, object, or person there will always be haters. It only means you're doing everything right.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind comment, which I really appreciate !!!_ 🤙😎 _Here is another flight of the HAWK with some on board views_ >>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX_Sdod5h86SaJI I don't care if someone dislike the video, because it usually comes from people who can not fold even a paper airplane. *LOL* 😂😂😂 Most of them are envious people, or people who don't like the fact that the pilot is barefoot or has a big belly. But these themselves are fat and sitting barefoot in a large armchair, drinking beer and shoveling popcorn.

[@taofledermaus]

Wow! Probably the most scale-like flight I've ever seen and heard. Good job!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for the compliment, my friend._ 👍😉

[@gtfiberboy8064]

TAOFLEDERMAUS , I appreciate Your channel, I’m an aeromodeller, and I see one of Your interests. God bless You.

[@garyjohnson1970]

A little bigger, you could hop in and fly it manually.

[@GarethNIreland]

Agreed 👏🏻

[@mark675]

They do get very scale the bigger they get, Very impressive model :)

[@gary1705]

Congratulations guys...what a lovely aircraft sounded and looked like the real thing and hat's off to the expert pilot ...the aircraft obviously was in expert hands .

[@chris-rfs]

If i would not have seen the plane take off i would have thought this was the real thing.Great stuff pilot and the makers!!

[@hottuberrol968]

I hate RC videos. And I hate the way some you-tubers try to click bait by making out it’s a real-life jet. But this, gentlemen, is AWESOME ! Well done.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

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

[@Turbogramps]

Wow that is the biggest RC fighter jet I've seen since the one I saw last year that just fell apart in mid air. Nice flying by the pilot of this jet.

[@ORGANIZEDCoNfUsioN]

That is AMAZING!! I love the cockpit detail. Watching it in the air it looks like the real thing. Incredible.

[@branaden]

ORGANIZED CoNfUsioN The cockpit doesn’t even look like that though.

[@simonbaxter8001]

Nothing like a Hawk cockpit. Considering its 1/3rd scale you would have thought that was one detail they worked on! Even my 1/48th scale Airfix model has the right cockpit. Not sure why the wingtip navigation lights and landing lamp flash either!

[@travisbons5123]

What a phenomenal build. Congratulations on a perfect first flight. Finally someone that can fly in a scale manner, beautifully flown.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind comment, which I really appreciate._ 🤙😎

[@lukenukem1164]

That shot on the landing approach with the red sky behind.... amazing!! So scale.

[@ChrisB257]

Beyond awesome - also worth a ton of money! Probably the most impressive scale jet ever - so much detail. That flight must have had huge ''pucker'' factor... but very successful - well piloted. What a super landing. Great footage Horst considering tricky lighting.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you._ Yes ... it's not cheap at all. Marc knows to fly giant Rc planes and therefore he was quite confident to do the maiden. Have a nice weekend, my friend 😉

[@GeneralHobbies]

lol pucker up its gona be a ride

[@valconir1619]

ChrisB257 most impressive and detailed in my opinion are the jets by @RUSJET they have won multiple world championship

[@SolarWebsite]

@ryan lemons The value? I'd say about 10 years or more of aeromodelling experience, a year or more of building and, yes, a significant amount of money. But just money won't buy you a flight like this.

[@ADAPTATION7]

@ryan lemons You Tube Channel!!! On their site, they state 14,990.00 Euros. I presume that excludes the gas turbine.

[@aerofly2]

Wow! That is the most realistic model jet I've ever seen. Congratulations guys!

[@lw216316]

nice camera work - beautiful sunset background and nice landing.

@@m64h A model of something can be the same size or bigger than its original. My doctor had a model of an eye sitting on his desk that was about 10 times the size of a real eye.

Congrats to all which are responsible for this fantastic build... and congrats to the pilot and his big balls for doing the maiden...

[@Cadillacstsv06]

Well here Horst, BIG is beautiful for sure! An awesome job by the entire team and what a maiden flight of a prototype plane by Marc! She looked and sounded great just cruised in that evening sky, which you know is my favorite LOL! Man she floated in on that final and sweet landing! Excellent camerawork and video bringing this BIG beauty to us Horst! BIG thumbs up! Danke for sharing!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind words, Fred. Unfortunately there was a little delay for the maiden. Otherwise the colours of the sunset would have been perfect._ Have a nice weekend. Cheers, Horst 😉👍

[@broderp]

Awesome. This is movie ready. One of the best RC planes I have seen.

[@incub8]

Phenomenal. Amazing suspension on landing. Only one oversight: You need to have the little pilot wave as he taxis! ;)

[@KrustyKlown]

the weight and size of the plane, looks VERY real on landing .. very stable, unlike a lot of small models

[@charlesbishop7583]

Once again, an example of excellent German engineering. Very well done and one hell of a good pilot. Really liked the camaraderie between a close knit group of friends. Share with us some of the details while building this incredible model, i.e.; the materials used, engine size, wet wing and fueling detail, landing gear detail, etc...

[@antilavado3822]

Sorry but that pilot is mediocre.

[@charlesbishop7583]

Anti Lavado -...and l suppose you could do better? That is a jet aircraft and that takes a lot of hand eye coordination to handle in a full sized aircraft. What he did was stupendous. He was flying a jet aircraft without feel and he was doing it remotely. You must not know anything about what it takes to be a pilot.

[@antilavado3822]

@@charlesbishop7583 I fly high alpha 3D with a DA 170 Yak 54, i also flight a Mig 29 ovt thrust vectoring with a jetcat p160, this type of aircraft requires a very qualified pilot to shine, and get the full potential of the machine, and not that the machine is above the pilot, for me that guy is just a mediocre pilot with deep pockets. Thank you.

[@mannixflinn6227]

Anti Lavado blah blah blah who cares

[@pfmurphy525]

+Mannix Flinn - lol good one. Mr Lavado , if you don’t have anything good to say then don’t say anything at all !!

[@g550driver13]

Amazing model, amazing pilotage, amazing sound!! Bravo!! 🏆🏆🏆

[@doddyvanstraaten2774]

The jet like whistle as it drops through the air after looping is very evocative, this is simply a great aircraft flown very professionally. 10/10 in all respects.

[@iraphaelk5786]

Doesn't sounds like an RC Model, doesn't look like one........ admit, that is a real one!!!

[@thondupandrugtsang]

Wow! That is huge.The flight was so smooth and realistic.

Nice to see a proper landing gear suspension for a change. Beautiful bird!

[@paulpalmtree9295]

The BAE HAWK Jet is used by the Red Arrows Display team, and is the also the RAF fast jet trainer aircraft. A wonderfully manoeuvrable and agile jet. The model BAE HAWK you have built is just amazing, very very well done, it must take quite some time to learn how to control it, I am sure its fairly difficult to master, but you make it look easy. Wow.

[@simonbaxter8001]

WOW! Just WOW! ... only comments are that it looks a bit underpowered (but slow speed handling looks great), nose gear oleo needs to be a bit harder and the wing nav and landing lamp need to be solid instead of strobing! Other than those things ... WOW!!! :-) Looking forward to seeing more of this.

[@SICMRR]

Best looking Jet to model there is..great flight..thanks for another awesome video.
