This is a 1:6 sport scale R/C Beetle purchased circa 1998/2000. (Please note that the purchase date in the video was corrected due to feedback of a viewer, which I appreciate.) The car is 25" long and operates on a 7.2v Nimh rechargeable battery. It has a dedicated transmitter and is single speed. To go less than it's full speed the throttle is simply pulsed. The detailing is tremendous with a ...

This documentary is intended to provide information about the California State University at Channel Island's initial rationale for informing the Condors that they were to "...remove the Club's property (from the site)." Some weeks later a report by the University Fire Marshall was added to facilitate their initial intention; closing down the Condors Airpark and Pond Rats R/C Boat Pond. Both of...

HI Beautiful!!! It's an airplane that I really like... Can you sell me the construction drawings of the model? Good evening!!
Superb
Wicked aeroplane !
Too bad they had to add that stupid music to the video.
Built a few models in my time,but that mozzie is perfectly executed.congrats on an awesome creation.
An awesome plane, there was something that fell off though looked like port side under the wing, at first i thought it was one of the flaps, but im not sure!
Sorry to hear of Mr Wolf's illness and I hope he's faring well. Beautiful project and a great test flight by someone who knows how a scale model should fly. The Mosquito was always one of my favorites as the "star" of the old movie "The Guns of Navaronne" and is one of my motivations to get involved in the RC hobby a little over 15 years ago. Currently scratch building a Kraft "Kwik Fli" so I will have at least a smidgen of the satisfaction the Mr Wolf felt upon completing this magnificent model.
What a fantastic r.c model and flying display first time out . I have a mosquito same size .Not finish yet hope it flys as well .
Absolutely beautiful and professional work..
You certainly have "The Touch" and can apply it! WOW!
Unreal!! What a beauty, hats off to the builder/flier too. O.S. BGX's are big ass engines too.
WHY OH WHY THE STUPID MUSIC
Wow, just bloody Wow.
Thats the most scale takeoff I have ever seen
I'm impressed by this well done ! All you need now is a midget to fly it !!! Lol
What has Hotel lift muzac got to do with this great model plane?
Beautiful a real credit to you, fantastic !! really enjoyed the whole thing. Thank you
Great model , good to see details like the pilot and navigator seats staggered . But all the kill crosses overdone. The highest scoring Mosquito ace was Englishman Branse Burbridge , nightfighter pilot. One other minor detail , according to Jimmy Rawnsley the cockpit was so hot that sheepskin clothing was not needed or worn.
Expert rc model... Misplaced back ground music.
Background music! So appropriate. Where from?
So much respect! TU and Subscribed.
Around 9.40 into this the Gentleman uses a device to (I'm guessing!) measure the RPM of the propellors. Can anyone please tell me A; if that's actually what he is doing? and B; if so what is the device actually called? I'm an interested newbie! TIA
Yes. It's photocell tachometer. Please start with a proper trainer and a qualified instructor. It's the best way to avoid learning bad habits and crashed airplanes. Good luck!
I NEED THIS ONE NOW
Did he scale up the Brian Taylor plan or does Holman have a mossie plan?
Fantastic matey, what an achievement. IGNORE THE JEALOUS IDIOTS.
And my grandnother bought me mine as a gife when I was 4 in 1998 do some math my 1:6 new bright VW New Bettel made in China is old
I have the same thing but mine is yellow with matching vw new bug stickers...... And its not a rev it has 3 speeds you can see the green light in the pick in the first 3 sec of the video it goies red yellow green yellow red os bow it will cycle whem you change your speed
You did fantastic job on that aircraft!! I have never seen anybody build an aircraft like this!!
I have the black racing beetle 1/6 scale one in box and one that I use
His thumb was trembling while resetting elevator throws. What fanatic scale !! Very nice piloting!!!
Nice, bet it would sound reaaal nice with a pair of 5 cylinder Mokis
what nincompoop thought it was a good idea to play music? and then play it louder than the plane engines NINCOMPOOP!!!!! great vid spoilt
I have one. I got it when I was 11. Still works
please !!!!! tell me !!!!!
i hav a volkswagan beetel but the batery and radio control is missing. can you tell me where i can buying this ( a online market specialized )
l converted mine years ago to a standard RC Nicad car battery. Soldered on a different plug. That's al it took. I'd recommend going to a local hobby shop. They'll help you deal easily with the battery change. And of course you'll need a charger for the different battery. It's no big deal really. Don't buy a limo battery because then you'll have to add a specialized speed control so you don't kill the battery, etc. And i shouldn't cost you to much either.
wow!cool!
I'm confused. Is this "scratch built" or "plans built"? It says he blew up the plans 175%. Whose plans?
They meant it was not from a kit. It’s plans built. Not sure which one.
Best aircraft of WW2.
Great model!! For added realism, why doesn't someone shoot at it with a 1/5 scale flak gun? [So, a 1/5 scale of a German 88mm flak gun works out to .17 calibre, = a .17 HMR or .17 Rem loaded with Spitzers!! 😂😂😂]
A work of art and a thing of beauty ! Please don't ever break it.
Greetings. I just wanted to share some information of great concern to all of us who have admired the design, building and flying abilities of a really nice guy, Tom Wolf. Incidentally, Tom had also done a fantastic job for a L-19 Replica Scale he did of a friends full size airplane. That one includes every patch, scratch and/or worn paint of the original. Even all of the rivets are of the same number and in the same place and it also includes the special "abort" door found on the original aircraft! Anyway, Tom had recently been diagnosed with ALS and has been under the care of his wife Debby and doctors. Our thoughts and prayers are offered daily to Tom, a fine gentleman even in such very difficult times, and his family. We are with you.
I wish him and his family all the best.
Thats horrible news, and I wish Tom and everyone that knows him all the best...What we here have witnessed is somewhat of a thing that rarely occurs anymore(unfortunately), and that is a real life definition of a modeler. The term " build" gets thrown around a little loosely nowadays. Assembling an ARF out of a box, is not a build to be clear. Tom is an expert level " Modeler " to be sure, a craftsman, and not everyone can pull it off, but for those who can I have nothing but respect and admiration for. A very very well done Mosquito by Tom. Two thumbs up to Tom and his Mosquito, and honorable mention go's out to Mr Strasser for his film work.
Amen Brother!
Impressive model but it cries out for larger 3-blade props, turning slowly. This would also bring the rudder authority within their combined prop-wash (and sound more realistic).
Ok then you need motors that turn slowly. In terms of glow engines no such thing.
dont look right with a two blade prop.....
name that jazzy music!!
Sorry to disappoint but the music is from one of 50+ copyright free discs I've purchased for video productions and are not otherwise available. Each of these discs includes perhaps 30 or more recordings, with usually 4 or 5 versions of each tune. One version may be 10 seconds, another 30 seconds, another perhaps a minute and another of "the entire tune." We then take these and cut them up and rebuild them as needed to best fit the video we're working moving internal parts around, cutting out a sequence, taking a beginning sequence and duplicating is somewhere else within the song, etc. The only thing I might recommend is simply to make an audio copy of what's there.
It never stops amazing me how someone goes to the trouble to make a detailed scale replica,and then ruins it by using a 2 bladed prop!
Louis McClung I agree, but 3 bladed props, and scale spinners are not always available for every type of engine. Also, the theoretical performance of a two blade is better than the three blade, and it's a first flight so the less risks the better. Three blades are common on small electric warbirds, not so much on gas glow engines. Why, I do not know.
It never stops amazing me how somebody will put 2 yrs into building a spectacular model and some twit will find fault with it. A 3 blade prop that matches that engine will still be nowhere near scale size so it won’t be representative and anyway who cares? The prop is turning so you can’t see it.
What a beautiful Mosquitoe that flies really well,nice friendly airfield to fly her from too.
Very nice all round. Might I ask what flew off the model while the undercarriage was being lowered? I noticed two distinct departures.
The twin exhaust gas adds so much realism to it, like trails.
My friend is giving me the same Volkeswagon car, but the battery is missing. Can you tell me the specs on the battery?
HI Eric. See my previous comment about changing the battery. I did that when it was new. No big or costly deal.
It was to Matel Bubuoloc who wanted to replace the battery.
Wow!! Two years proyect !!!😀
