Probably the BEST presenter on the whole of CZcams? Clear, succinct - no waffle, no talking to the "camera person" and no jokes 10/10
Jesus, i don't know why this was recommended to me, but i am here to stay. Clear communication, Radio Voice... the Bob Ross of Model crafting. Well done !
InfernoPS Same. No idea why the CZcams gods recommended this, or what motivated me to click, but I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Same here. This guy does a great job.
Me TOOO!! Frickin AWESOME!!!
Yup, #metoo, dunno how this got in to my feed but I liked it.
Same here. CZcams: “I think you might find this interesting...” Me: “Um, yeah!”
My god you need your own tv show you really have a great smooth way of talking to us you are awesome..!!
Thanks!
agree ! Good production
Agreee as well. Does
This is the first of your videos I've watched and I was thinking the same thing. Great voice-over!
I agree also....good work for sure
I have no intention of buying a model airplane kit but watched this start to finish. Amazing.
Good sound quality. No background noise. Thanks. Clear and concise. No extra words or music that is not needed. Good quality video production. Thank you.
You are so good at presenting this. With the “stay at home” stuff happening, you’ve made me want to get back into building models. Thank you!
good boy, do what the government tell you now
This man must be protected at all costs.
lol
I agree with Jeff. Your communication style is a gift.
Have you ever gone to the movies and the picture was so good ... you forgot you were watching a movie? I just spent 21 minutes watching a gentleman put together a model airplane and forgot i was watching a video. I could not wait to see what you were going to do next. Well done sir!
I tend to do smaller models but having watched this he has givin me the confidence with his soothing James Earl Jones voice to go big. He makes you feel 'you Got this have a go young apprentice'
After randomly finding your channel, somehow you made me feel like I was a kid again, building models with a friend. Thanks, man. Keep it up! Great stuff.
CZcams sent me here randomly, and I am staying
Same here
Louis A. McCaII II I can’t look away 😳
me too pretty cool
Me too
me too
I think this guy is a wizard. He hypnotized us all! Same story here, never really looked at anything like this before but I cant stop watching!
Not an RC hobbyist, but admire your technical expertise. Can listen to people who know what they are talking about. Subscribed.
WoW... was into building models only but later got into RC but I was not aware of all those tools and some complications. Thank you so much for this great video!
Not sure why CZcams recommended this but I subscribed after 30 seconds. Hope another 2million + viewers have the same experience. Awesome
Awesome video! My dad flew the Hellcat off the USS Yorktown against the Japanese in 1945. It's nice to see someone keeping the memory of these amazing WWII era aircraft alive.
My great uncle flew Hellcat's off the Yorktown, then back home to train other pilots, and ended up getting blown up on the Franklin. LTJG Howard A Heyman.
I am glad I stumbled upon this channel. Glad to see there are still people out there making this hobby happen.
This dude made me genuinely interested in starting this hobby
A huge well done from the UK. Your expert style and enjoyable presentation will encourage more people to start the hobby.
Love love love your narration /voice over style and gift of gab...you are the Bob Ross of model building.
The pace, the narration, the camera work... and of course the build itself. Really great on all the things that matter. You are a multi-talented guy.
The camera work on the flight videos is fantastic
Wow; your manner of delivery. Just wow. Voice for Radio or TV narration is an understatement.
I about lost it when you spotted the Knight's Cross on the piloten. LOL.
Wait, we didn't have Germans flying for us in WW2?
He might not fly it like he stole it but Hans here definitely will.
I sense a double agent pilot...good plot for a movie there.
Was hoping that the Cross would have been Dremel-ed off and the pilots "complexion", um, darkened. Anyway...subscribed!
The Knight's Cross is always an honor to be seen👍🏻
The way you build helps us rookies feel super confident. Great video!!!! Can't wait to see her fly!!!
Being an ex (dance club you get where I'm coming from) DJ, I saw many people commenting on your voice it is so true, having a good clear voice is a virtue. I had many people come up to me saying, wow you don't have that ridiculous sounding voice most DJs have, I can actually understand what you're saying and it doesn't grind on my nerves.... moving on I'm not even into remote control planes but I'm in World War II, and hobbies and this is extremely calming and informative thank you
Nice build, very informative. You have the voice for instructional videos. If you are not a teacher the kids missed out.
Wonderful heart warming stuff. Imagine building a model with this guy? Would be so much fun.
I know nothing about this hobby, not sure how it showed up recommended - but I was riveted. Your passion shows. Great job.
Me too!
I love how other people can love things like this. It really makes me happy to see people so pessionate about their hobbies. Great vid!
Like lots of others mentioned, I was brought here via CZcams suggestions. So glad that I was. You are SOOOOOO easy to listen to. I found your video very enjoyable. Thank you for your efforts!!!
Like everyone else, I was randomly sent here by CZcams, and like everyone else, I have to say that you're a natural narrator. Very smooth. I have no real interest in this sort of stuff, but I watched the whole damn thing. Lol. Kudos, man.
Was gladly recommended here by CZcams, enjoyed the build, can't wait to see the thing fly. Amazing to see someone very passionate about something other than computers or you tubing, or video games, good ol' fashioned airplane model building stuff.
TOO BE HONEST, YOU NEED YOUR OWN SHOW!!! IM GLAD TO SEE A “Brother” IN THIS HOBBY! YOUR VOICE MATCHES THE SHOW!!! MAN YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB!!!!! I WILL BE SUBSCRIBING TO YOUR CHANNEL!!! Everything is so detailed!!! 😎
Fell free to ring up Hollywood for me. :D
I second that, just found this great channel yesterday :)
Clear, logical and informative....refreshing in today's world.
Your communication skills are SUPERB! You actually had me believing I could assemble that plane with the skill you clearly show!
Excellent job, sorry I can only like it ONCE!
You can’t find this bird online anymore I got the last one at the local store. 😁. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. It’s going to be very helpful when I put this baby together.
I always go with Callie Graphics...her vinyls eliminate the "clear part" in most decals and when all said and done they look painted on. I own several Hangar 9 planes. Love them but I've never used the decals that came with them. I always like using her stuff just to make mine look different from stock. You have a great channel...nicely done sir! Oh...just FYI the antenna goes the other way...it should be straight up...parallel with the canopy vertical lines.
OMG!!!! Finally a legit RC hobby mentor..🙏🏾✊🏾🙌🏿I have wanted to enter the RC airplane realm for years, but scared to invest in the hobby do to lack of knowledge on brand to purchase, introduction to assembly, receiver and telemetry setup. You overall diligence in description is so appreciated 🙏🏾😁🙅🏿♂️
The Bob Ross of model building, superb, subscribed.
I just randomly came across this video. The world right now is upside down and I found this oddly calming. Thank you for your content.
Dude you are a natural at this.
hes one of the best rc plane youtubers atm in my opinion, love how clear and informative your videos are mate
I discovered your channel yesterday and want to compliment you on your videos. The content is very interesting and you have a pleasant voice and way of editing and narrating. Thanks.
I have no idea how I ended up here but love your sense of humour and excellent voice.
You're good. Very good. I have just been flying virtual warbirds for practice before the real thing and it is difficult to keep from crashing! And here you are doing it for real!
I took flying lessons many years ago and wasn't any good at it. tried flying models and wasn't any good at that; so I settled on going to air shows and watching those that are good at it. That been fun as well. Tickets for air shows and hot dogs is cheaper than building expensive models and crashing them. Hobby View you got the know how and the bucks, have fun. Very nice job!
Like most, CZcams randomly brought me here. I'm so glad it did! I've always been fascinated with model building but never got into it. Your video was a breath of fresh air and now looking for Part 2 to see how this baby flies!
Real nice build and love your calm voice and demeanor throughout. I am a fellow airplane model lover, though I have yet to build an RC, I loved U control planes when I was just a kid.
I thought maybe I could help with your issue when the decals fogged up, where I work they use large decals and use soapy water not ammonia.
You can apply most smaller decals without using water, but for large and very large stickers, this trick is a life-saver. After cleaning your surface area, wet the area again using a spray bottle and a solution of about 5% soap / 95% water. Apply the sticker while the area is still wet.
You can adjust the decal straight while wet and it will dry overnight. No probs.
Great video, clear and concise instructions. Your voice and delivery are made for easy listening. Definitely a fan.
I want more building videos.
They work very great for relaxing you at night so you can fall asleep fast.
You are so calming! You could be the intercom voice offering instruction at the DMV, and I would be patient for hours waiting in line.
YT suggested this video for some reason and I have to say that I found it fascinating! Instant subscribe
And yet the youtube recommendations bring us together again brothers.
I dont even have a single rc plane but i stayed till the end... He sounds like chef john...and yes Im a subscriber now
Your voice and delivery of information is world class. Great work!~
These are the types of reviews I’ve been looking for. Great job!
Sometimes CZcams recommendations are trash but sometimes it is educational.
I just came across your channel and subscribed pretty much instantly. Seeing a brother involved with modeling truly filled me with pride. Hugely inspiring! Keep 'em coming, sir!
Awesome video, the perfect blend of information with none of the tedious parts. This gives me confidence to get one myself.
Your videos are great, so happy I found your channel!
An outstandingly clear and comprehensive review. I'm debating buying one of these just to have as a display/conversation piece since I can't fly RC planes worth a hill of beans, but that build looks like an absolute blast.
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I haven't flown RC for 17 years but it is kind of biting at me.
But looking at a gas build. Never had an electric powered plane, and I think rescuing glow engines is a past fantasy, Love this model.
REALLY nice video mate! It was recommended to me and I have to say it was a pleasure to watch and listen to! The sheer amount of care and love you put into the construction process was a delight to watch, and your soft voice is easy to listen to without feeling like I'm being screamed at. If all your videos are like this I might just stick around...
My dad was crew chief over 5 Grumman F6F's during WW2 on the Khalinin Bay CVE68 . If you haven't seen a Hellcat up close there is one at the free naval museum in Pensacola Florida which I highly recommend seeing. The plane has a 42' wingspan and weighs 9k lbs empty! I can't even imagine trying to land that plane on a deck 512' long and 65' wide with it tossing and turning!
I've been re-LIVING my childhood....love your channel
One of the best review and how-to vid's I've seen lately! Very well explained, clear, comprehensive, visuals and audio were great. Also nice to see how you solved the few issues you came across. Thanks, and looking fwd to seeing more!
Another interesting vvvv- video. I look forward to you giving it a first flight.
Years ago I built 1/2 dozen kit models but never did learn to fly.
Why not learn now? It's fun. And the new foam models are great to learn. On because they survive crashes well.
I’m not a very smart guy so I want to thank you for letting me know that my retracts are getting 7 volts instead of the 6 volts they were designed for. I just finished my Hellcat and I’ve been operating my gear with the pre set voltage from my 100 amp ESC. I hope I haven’t ruined them in the process!!!! I’m going to call Horizons help line today and see if they can help me through the program. Im not computer savvy at all!!! So thanks again for your AWESOME VIDEO on the H-9 Hellcat!!!!
I think I had a plastic display model of this plane when I was young. Glad to see one again.
I love this airplane. Gave the Mitsu Zeros a pounding. Courtesy of Pratt and Whitney and Grumman. Fast, tough, and made to take out the enemy with it .50 cal Browning machine guns. The R-2800 Radial Pratt and Whitney was epic!
Its nice to see someone going right to electric. I did nitro for years and honestly, I don't miss it. I hated fighting cranky engines and almost losing a finger. Now the only fuel I use is for the lawn mowers I fix and sell to pay for my planes.
I have no idea why YT sent me here but man I have all the feels now. Considering I'm *just* getting into drone flying this tickles a childhood fancy of mine!
It's great to watch a master at work ,thank you!
I love your channel. I get to live vicariously through you building and flying models.
So you have a German pilot flying an American plane hunting the Japanese in WWII! Gotcha!
Just a couple of points on your setting up. When you need to reduce the movement on the elevator then move the clevis in on the servo horn not reduce the end point on the transmitter. Altering the transmitter reduces the resolution of the sticks. Also when balancing it to check the CG surely you should have the propeller fitted as it is adding weight to the nose. Your setup will leave the model nose heavy, adding the propeller will allow you to reduce the amount of weight added.
I balance without the prop that way its a touch now heavy how I like it
I put together a small model of that plane when I was a kid am 62 now. It was my favorite plane of that war.
my father was an AOM1 during WW2.
He worked on the Hellcats, among others.
USNR 1940-1945
He was an avid R/C flyer going back into the 1950s. He even had a visit by Charles F Kettering during one of his flights at Triangle Park, Dayton,Ohio.
Good gosh, now that's a Hellcat! The host is the Bob Ross of modeling.
You're amazing, not sure how I haven't found this channel before.
I don't build or fly model aircraft but I watch your channel!
Adding lead weights to the nose brought back a memory for me. My first plane (don't remember what it was, bought it from a friend) I couldn't find anyone to help me fly it so I decided I could do it by myself. Crashed it on take-off and mangled a wing. I bought wood & shrink wrap and rebuilt it. However, I way overbuilt it and it was so overbalanced I had to add a number of large slip sinker fishing weight into the wing tip. It worked & flew but I didn't pass that info along to anyone. lol
The hellcat was in the air that Sunday morning in December of 1941. Good video. Hope you are well and feeling great.
? The Hellcat came out later in the war. It first flew in June of 1942 but wasn't ready for battle until 1943.
Awesome work. Simple communicative great voice. Love every part. Thanks for sharing.
One of the finest model build videos I've seen. Very well done.
I was in the sport back in the 90's flying with the Jackson Flyers at Fort Jackson SC. I had some really good time and not so good times when the ground got too close to my plane. I still have one in my shop in the box I never put together that one day I might put it together just for snow. Today, the sport is so much bigger and a lot of electric motors. Still a fun sport if you have the time which it takes.
I've flown a few times at that field back in the early 90's. We may have crossed paths.
This is an awesome hobby, nothing I would consider, but very much respected.
I don’t even care about RC planes. So why did I watch this whole thing? And why is your voice so soothing?
Happened upon this video by accident and very happy that I did, nice build with great commentary and sneaky humor.
Офигенно!!!
Не часто встретишь англоязычный канал с такой понятной (не для носителя), ровной и приятной речью, прям профессор словесности! :)))
Приятно было просто послушать, а не напрягаться :))
You make it look so easy!!! I have multiple BALSA planes unfinished. Ive been doing rc 30+ years. I'll finish my Eflite Albattos 25E & Ultt. Bipe 10E just from watching this!!!! YOU ROCK☆☆☆☆☆
Man that voice is something. Feels like listening to Bob Ross or something. If you would talk a little bit more gentle this would be a great ASMR video.
I found this video quite by accident and ended up watching the whole thing and then subscribing. Nicely done!
Nice review and I was on board right up to the ESC. No Grumman F6F Hellcat ever had an ESC! When these aircraft with their 18-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine where screaming through the skies battling Mitsubishi A6M Zeros blasting their six 50 cal M2/AN Browning air-cooled machine guns, no one ever said to themselves: 'Hey that sounds just like a vacuum cleaner." I have been in this hobby for quite some time and although I appreciate the developing electric technology, putting an ESC into a Hellcat is nothing short of scale sacrilege.
I didn’t know that “brothers” were into these hobbies. But that’s some good stuff right here.
*Do not use Window cleaner,* but don't put them on dry either. Most Windex type products use acetic acid (like vinegar) as a wetting and anti-foaming agent. This works great on windows, but can attack and alter the chemical structure of the adhesive. I mean Windex even advertises that it can break up and clean certain gum based adhesives. The altered adhesive will eventually become brittle and crack causing the decal to begin peeling up. One of the things I used to do on the assembly line of a south-east coast fishing boat manufacturer was to put on the 5 foot to 15 foot decals (depending on the model boat). I always used a diluted solution of Dawn dish washing liquid. You have to play with the mixture of water to soap to get a good decal slip without getting too much decal slide. The chemical makeup of Dawn (or similar brands) without added scents will not alter the adhesive causing the fogging of clear areas. The only thing to be careful of is the Dawn mixture wants to foam up if you spray it too vigorously, giving you twice the bubbles you're trying to squeeze out. Spray it in as fine a mist as your spray bottle can and from a one to two foot distance. This produces an even wetting without bubbles.
your voice... its so nice...
you should be a voice over guy or an audiobook reader, I would listen forever
Love the video. My brother just gave the same airplane. So I looked it up and your video popped up. It was fun and helpful to watch. Thank you., Now to break it to my wife that I NEED to spend some money!
One time I went to an RC plane thingy. It was incredible. WWII planes were easily the most popular planes.
Don't know squat about airplanes - real or RC. But my Dad flew Hellcats in WWII so I watched the video. Very good and informative even for a complete nob. Thanks!
