I’ve shared your project with Barnes Wallace’s colleague’s family...well done team.
Prof. Holland, whilst I never knew Barnes's family, I knew him well through my representation on the Committee of a
Through the Co mitte of Almoners of Christs Hospital, back in the late 70s. I was going to share this video with them, but you saved me the work of research where the reside. Thank you for that.
As a matter of fact Barnes is always remember with great respect in my household. In fact on rememberance sunday, my late father always bought an extra pint of beer , which was put on the mantle piece in the local pub. I never did find out who drank them after we left..
My own more-direct knowledge of Barnes' work was related to radio astronomy. He designed the guidance mechanism for the equatorial mounts for both the Parkes radio telescope in Australia, and the Algonquin 47m radio telescope in Canada. It used, like the dambusters mechanism, a tightly-collimated beam of light.
You three make me so proud to be English. Engineering, friendship and gentlemanly conduct. Wonderful stuff.
2nd what he said.🔝
As y’all should be where would this 🌎 be without 🇬🇧 contribution to humanity !!
🙏👍✌️
And torturing the irish and controlling their land and treating them not as humans
There's always one. Take it to Speakers corner, this is a RC channel.

Came here from Tom Stanton's channel, great job, really enjoyed it.
Thanks!
As good or better than Flite test projects. The design of the Lancaster available for free tiles off the net . Keep up the good work.
Also, I am grateful you had that "momemt" of rememberance! Perfect!
Wow! Matt you are a such a genrous person! So humble and magnanimous that you would run a camera for someone else while being so "big" yourself. It's not every day that an Oscar winner would be a camera operator and transportation for new unknown actor.
Some great engineering here. Very impressive work. One of my favorite stories from the war.
Thank you, gentlemen. Nov. 11th is also a very somber day for us Americans, as we pray for the souls of our fathers and brothers, and those of our dearest allies in the UK, lost in the Great War. As a retired US Army Veteran, I carry a poppy every day, all year, refreshed with a new one, on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.
These lads show the spirit and ingenuity of the men and women who worked on these projects almost 80 years ago. A credit to their country.
great job guys
Cheers Ramy

This is the simplest comment I have ever seen on CZcams
Hey ramy! You have nice planes! And projectair has a big fantasy!
I imagine the struggles and challengers were a lot similar to how OG dambusters trained to get the technique down.
Or the dam busters in Bomber Crew...
I loved ❤ this project James, and I'm just about to go watch Tom's video. I also think your Lancaster deserves a rebuild and some more scale detailing, it has such an evocative presence in the sky that I'm sure I'm not the only one that'd love to build one or even buy a kit designed by you.
Thanks! I'll definitely be finishing up the plans in the next few days. The Vintage Model Company might be bringing out a foam kit of this plane next year so watch this space :)
I realy love this project! Do you are able to share the buildplans ore sale them?
So much grandchildren could make their grandpa's happy when they build this together with them and actually bounce some barrels over a local water surface.
@@Project-Air Great news, it'll sell like hot cakes. Definitely a huge gap in the market for a decent sized foamy Lanc and for a rough and ready build, your design is excellent. It wouldn't take much tweaking to bring it up to something beautiful. Well done!
@@Project-Air hi James. Is there any movement on this as a kit with the Vintage Model Company yet? Thanks 👍
A British dambuster coming down using a German Stuka sound. Priceless. Greetings from Germany. Amazing project. And btw, the Edertalsperre is only a few kilometers away from where I live ...
Cool, thanks!
Totally brilliant ! I cheered when you launched it over the water 🥰🥰
Absolutly the best rc-project and on YT since David Windestal was last seen on FT! Nice work!! :)
David Windestal's has always been a huge inspiration for me, so thanks for mentioning that. ☺️
Guys you are a credit too your generation, was really taking back when you took a minute out to honour ex military personnel. Great video and fantastic work, gentlemen always keep doing what your doing 👍👍
You guys are awesome! Showing the mishaps makes it so much more relatable when I remember the planes I've tried building. All part of the experience!
It took the designer of the bomb several months to get the speed, height and distances between the aircraft and target for it to work right. Duct tape in the TAG and USAAF was used to fix airframe battle damages, here in the state's we orginally called it 400 MPH Tape.
Incredible…. And a black armband on the wing! Rates alongside Top Gear specials.
That was so very cool. And the plane looked amazing in the air! looking forward to se more like this!
Yes very respectful to do that from our younger generation.
I've just watched your video a year after the event. Very well done lads. I really admire your ingenuity. Oh and your behaviour too. I didn't hear a single expletive even when the lanc crashed. It might interest you to know that the average age of the crews on the dam busting mission was just 21 - lads like you. To me that's profoundly moving. Well done again. Hats off to you all.
Barnes Wallis is smiling in his grave.
Nice to see this link between History and technology. RC-modelling is not only a leisure. Many thanks for those shared video !
Three musketeers. I admire Tom's work of engineering. Vintage model aircraft produce some great looking planes. This video is nailed it with all the sciences and excitement involved. Cheers guys.
As a flight enthusiast bloak form the US.... seeing the young men of today taking an interest in not only aviation but history's accomplishments sure is great for the future. if you havent seen please check out Drago bush plane and its owner, mike who has an CZcams channel . what he says in his intros describes what you r doing you james to a tee! dont ever give up what your doing brother
God bless Barnes Wallis and all his crew .true innovatives.
My Dad who spent WW2 involved in the development & production of the specialised explosives which made Barnes Wallace's bombs possible was later involved in the award of an honorary degree to Barnes Wallace, so I have followed all of his ideas including the aircraft recovery from Loch Ness with great interest (I once slept on a yacht moored at the western end of Loch Ness as we travelled along the Caledonian Canal).
A tribute to Hoppy Hopgood's sacrifice when Lancaster M for Mother crash at the Mohne Dam.
Really nice that you included remembrance day in the Vid.
Be interesting to see a Mosquito built, and drop a Highball at a foam board ship...
What a fantastic setting to carry out your project.
I wish my Final Year project was even half this much fun!
х
Эх
Job guys I think you all need a better landing spot wider runway would be nice. That's gotta be really difficult to try to hit that small runway. But you pulled that you guys pulled it off good job.
cool collaboration. The dambuster story is very interesting
Makes you appreciate how difficult the original mission was, holding a Lancaster at 60 feet while flying at 220 mph let alone AA guns shooting at you. Well done, real engineering in action.
James, I've really enjoyed your channel but watching this made me realise that not only are you a skilled aviator, but you are a very talented film-maker as well. Your editing of the final successful slow-mo footage to the soundtrack was superb. Congratulations on this project!
Most excellent gentlemen. I enjoy watching your steps of progress in your projects. You've taught much to this old man.
Well done guys it really looked impressive,you had a very narrow corridor to get the Lancaster down and did really well.
Thanks for watching! Here's some more stuff for you to check out.
Build video! ☺️☺️ 👉 czcams.com/video/HzkgCq5GWP0/video.html
Plans! 👉 www.projectair.co.uk
Just to note, this was a project to investigate the engineering and dynamics involved in skipping a projectile on water when dropped from a moving aircraft. Although it took inspiration from history, it was not intended to celebrate war or the Dambusters raid (and its tragic impacts).
i had a idea for a video. im curious how many stages you can put on a model rocket. i have found some people that have done 3 or more. but how many do you think is the max??? lets find out.
Had to watch this again! I saw the documentary on the WWII Dam Buster and you guys did a great job!
Nicely done gentlemen. It's nice to see folks exploring and keeping history alive. Besides it looked like you had some great fun while doing it.
bomb release mechanism is pure genius. i love it!
Great to watch!
My dad was involved in getting Barnes Wallace an honorary degree, because dad worked on the explosives which were critical to this mission!
That was fantástic. You let the enemy without water..and do a kamikazi ...
I did watch a documentary about the WW II dam buster project, so that made your video a lot of fun, and very meaningful. Thank you blokes!
Literally my favorite youtubers all in the same video
Would be cool to see an updated one of these, have an RC boat tow something into the water to use as target practice, and get the plane painted up to look like the real thing.
Great video! It catches all the fun you guys had and forwards it to us to feel it.
10:39 Side note: That was the diving sound of a Junker Ju 87 Sturzkampfbomber with the Jericho Trumpets, and a Lancester certainly would not have been able to make such sounds, but the sound is almost always used for diving planes of other designs than the Ju 87.
Absolutely bloody brilliant. Found this after finishing the James Holland book about the Dambusters. Very gratifying stuff, as I'm into RC planes.
Half way through the book and it’s pretty good 👍
OUTSTANDING!!
Hopefully the Lancaster will be seen again. Be a great FT kit.
First, this kid makes some really good videos. Second, getting 3 solid bounces for his 'bomb' was really excellent work. Nice plane, nice bomb release mech, nice work.
Also, while you might not think so, low level flying is actually quite difficult. For instance, the things you can do to try and gain more altitude, actually tend to cause a loss of altitude. The change in the horizontal stabilizer actually increases drag. And if you don't simultaneously increase engine power, you'll go down, not up.
Well done gentlemen! BTW Isopropyl alcohol will de-bond hot glue.
This may be your best video yet! Loving the documentary style. Top quality!
That's awesome, and remembrance day was a great day for that. Imagine the stress an anxiety of those who did this mission IRL with a real plane and probably only had one shot at it!
I LOVE the old stories of those AMAZING pilots!! Thank you for doing this!
what a nice bunch of fellas great progress love the plane and you did bounce the bomb so thumbs up
Epic effort! I had a little smile too at you doing this not so far away from the original practice grounds for 617Sqn.
This is simply fantastic - you’ve achieved one of the things I’ve been dreaming of everyday for the last 45 years! Thank you!
Fantastic shots and flight guys .well done. I still love the back and white movie of the dam busters. Rolex in ireland. 👍👏👊✋👊👏👍❤❤❤❤☘☘☘☘☘
A very interesting video.
As an aside, a reminder of the ingenuity and heroism of the dambusters raid. The casualty rate was awful, and those that went knew it would be. Eight of the nineteen aircraft were shot down with fifty three people killed and three captured, as well as the ~1,600 people killed by the flooding. What is more, Wing Commander Gibson flew his plane back over the dam to draw fire away from the aircraft yet to drop their payload, in a particularly heroic act. He survived but was killed later in the war.
The superglue on the camera lens can be dissolved with acetone, if the lens housing isn't made out of ABS plastic. I suggest using cottom swaps to wick on acetone on and then taking it off again with more cotton swabs.
Brillo guys . Real good fun to watch.
I found myself on the edge of May seat wanting this to work for you guys so bad when it finally worked I was excited for you guys wow really top notch 👏
Of course the actual bombers had a triangulated light system to judge the perfect altitude from which to drop the barrel bombs. Maybe you could drag a stiff wire or something underneath the plane to judge your optimum height for skipping the barrel.
Great vid! And I do very much appreciate you stopping for a moment in honor of amenities day, or Remembrance Day. Cheers!
100s Guys you have the "Right Stuff" vision, tenacity, enjoying the project while you did it. Keep it up Chaps you all make a good team!
Why science and engineering is fun, well done
Really cool to watch! Congrats on your achievement.
It was a back spin that done the job finally! I remember my grandfather telling us the story they went through in the RAF durn this!
Absolutely love the Lancaster, was able to see one fly when I was at Abington air station, great job
That beats most of the times that I've tried to skip a rock. Outstanding! Too bad the plane broke though because that was a truly beautiful plane.
Seems like a trend with James's Mission planes. They finish their mission and just demotor themselves before landing. same with the shuttle mission plane, same with the Dambuster LOL
The whole project was amazing! My favourite bit was actually the retrieval with the hydrofoil (really sleek design there!)
Duct tape and glue solve a multitude of problems. Fantastic project
Wow what a project. Love your tenacity to make it happen. Great footage BTW.
You are so lucky to have friends to fly with you. I am the only rc flier in my area and when I fly my wife beats me with a broom.
brilliant , please repair the Lanc , its beautiful to see fly
RIP Lancaster you will always be a part of our hearts
It is watching videos like this that has made me want to get back into the hobby after nine years absence. Outstanding work gentleman and a very entertaining video.
Barnes Wallis would be proud of you. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great stuff to watch, guys. Reminds me of when I worked for the Wolfson Unit at Southampton Uni making models for hydrodynamic and wind tunnel testing. Keep it up! This is what British inventions are based on. This kind of work with models. It all starts here, from hovercraft to hydrofoils to rockets, and great to watch. What's the next project? A flying car?
The on-board gopro shots are great because you can hear the propeller drone. 4:32
Congraaats!🤗🥳
For doing it successfully
I think everything needs to be bigger = more energy = more power and i like the lancaster. Now i want to build my own! I love what you are doing!
Terrific video! Excellent engineering!
Congratulations gentlemen!
Nice one lads👍🍻.
Got to respect those boffins back in the day (Barnes Wallace)
Nice work! Bounced better than I expected
Nice work fellas. Enjoyed the video and the project!
absolutely brilliant fellas , that was amazing !!!!!!
Very well done, that was great to watch. Nice work
Amazing job guys! I love to see young men and women solve problems with practical solutions!
This is exceptional. One of the coolest things I've ever seen. And the video production is very good as well. (View count seems unreasonably low imo.)
Well done guys I never gave much thought doing the bouncing bomb thing with rc ,yea really cool .
I love this.
Girls won't understand the joy in seeing this work
Smashing video as always Mr Whomsley. Especially enjoyed when you stated "landing is where it really got spicy" 😄
Amazing flying and mechanism. Well done all.
Top effort lads, this is an epic broadcast
The Highball anti ship bomb (to be carried in pairs by Mosquitoes) spun the bombs backwards to ensure they bounced. They were ready by 1944 and ridiculously destructive but were not used because had the tech fallen into German hands they’d have taken out the D-Day ships.
Looks absolutely amazing! In future you could try adding a gyro to make the approach more stable and for more fun you could create a floating test target like the real thing.
Isaac Wilkinson yeah maybe, although I don’t think it would have helped the result much, we were fairly stable already and I like keeping it simple 😁
That was so freakin beautiful! Well done! Thanks for a massively good show!
Clearly you need to clear out those darned stone walls. Time to bring in a full-scale Lancaster..! :-)
Well done chaps !
Good job! Lots of fun and good historical remake. Congratulations!
