- Nitro action with a 1980s pattern ship and, after the council mows the grass, we get our runway cleared of clippings in just a few seconds at 100 decibels.
Tomorrow we return to the lake! Stay subscribed for that video. - Sport
So happy to see Ron back on screen. Just wasn't as entertaining when he was gone!
Hard to beat the good old 1980s. I love nitro planes for the sound, the smell and the smoke. Excitement all the way.
❤
I still love flying glow powered models, more so, than the electric ones, when I got back into the hobby a few years ago.
Hi Bruce, Ron, this is bringing back the memories. Looks almost like my old Kaos. Yes Nitro does sound great. I still have my MOKI 180, YS120 Super charger, and a bunch of smaller ones, I just don't have a plane to put them in. Then find a place to fly at, My field was a old runway at the local airport. Now that is gone, the closes place is 30 miles away, and my wheelchair has a limit of 18 miles. Thanks again for the video.
How nice to see a proper model being flown😉
Ohh yes...the 80,s No R.C authoritive overreach, Futaba Chalenger 4 channel, days of summer slope soaring, those Halcyon days indeed 😌
Nothing like the smell of nitro , better than burnt wire smell :-)
That was a nice Bridi UFO. Nice to see they still make them. It was the Pattern Plane to have if you were competing in AMA Pattern class back in the early 80’s.
Yea, my favorite was the Dirty Birdy of which I still have the smaller Dirty Birdy 20e. Flies just like it's big brother. The UFO I think was the ultimate design of ballistic pattern and I was thinking of building a 20 sized version, but never got around to it. I do have a nitro powered Kaos 40 on floats that I fly once in a while that has on board ignition.
Love the sound of the Nitro, and what a great looking plane, looks so good in the air. I enjoyed the old nitro engines back in the day, but i certainly do not miss the mess!
Very funny, touch and go. Can’t beat Nitro and balsa, I still love the electric and foam creations, but a nitro engine always great. 👍🏻
I love the smell of nitro in the morning. Thanks for bringing back memories of flying .60 engined aerobatic models like my Kwik Fly IV and Superstar II.
You really need smell o vision to get the full nitro experience. Its a close second to a 2 stroke on Castrol R.
I will be running some Castrol M in 2 of my glow engines later today. Oh the aroma 🤗
Hi Bruce, Ron, this indeed brings back a lot of memories. However, it wouldn't quite be the 80's without a long antenna attached to the RC radio! (I think that 72mhz, 54mhz and 27mhz were the standard frequencies we all used back then, but I was a child then and I may be remembering it wrong)
She’s a beaut! Thanks Bruce
You know this would be a perfect type of plane for Tim IMHO!
Proper R/C model Bruce. Go on Ron you know you want one.
@xjet >>> FWIW: I never flew R/C planes _back in the day,_ although I had friends that flew them, and I watched them do so on multiple occasions.
I DID fly control-line in the 70s {and maybe very early 80s}.
This video brings back some good memories -- THANKS FOR POSTING IT!
Best plane in the world.Shes BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for the memory, sounds like my old super tiger. love the vids
I love the UFO! One of my top three favorites. Flies like it's on rails. Dusting the runway with a Jet Ranger, now that's class!
I know electric is better than nitro in many ways but piss on it. You can't beat the sound smell and experience of nitro. Brings back happy memories of my youth playing with home made line control planes.
I must admit that I love the sound of a methanol engine, sounds so much better than electric, but cleaning the oil was always a pain.
I miss those planes and 80's time 😂😂😂
Bruce I had that exact airplane!my was a fiber glass fuselage and foam core wings and tail.I loved that plane I had A tuned pipe and rhom air retracts.With an OS 61.I really miss the 70s and 80s pattern aircraft.Pattern aircraft are my most favorite type of aircraft even today.Now I have a horizon hobbies V900 because I looks and performs like a precision pattern aircraft.
Gee! that brings back memories, next time i want to see three consecutive loops and three consecutive rolls from right to left you can throw a figure M or a Cuban 8 in if you want. ;))
Reminds me of my old Curare..
5:38 good to see someone NOT flying goofy (mode 1) 👍
I love the safety flip-flops! (Thongs to you down under.)
Did he have his extra crystals. I remember digging through my grandpa's stuff and wondering what the crystals and flags where for
YOU'RE DESTROYING THE OZONES, MELTING THE GLACIERS... I CAN FEEL THE EARTH WARMING!
Been a long time since I'd heard a good nitro powered model.
Not to worry the planet will fix it self but humans will unfortunately not be around to see this..
Nice looking aircraft! I love retro designs I have a handful of oldies with four stroke glow engines.
Ron is the real star of the show!
Wish it was summer here!
Sounds bloody marvelous.
Ahh. Just like dad used to fly.. he still has quite a few that he flies. I have some nitro cars and boats from the 80’s-90’s too. Next you’ll be showing some more model history with control line planes. ;)
From the cleaning process it looks as if he's using modern day synthetic oil and not the good ol' castor oil. It smells good but sticks like glue to the model.
I loved that story Ron told! Hahaha
Damn, I can smell the nitro and castor from here😁
You're hilarious mate! Cheers from Texas!
There are guys still flying “ glow”? Incredible!!
Long live nitro!
Man, I miss those days.
Love the patten ship, looks like it flies like a dream.....different tail setup not seen neg elevators before but it appears to work well... LOve the big blue leaf blower must get one, it may pee of the neighbours though,,,as always great video etc etc well done ...
As always you make a lot of sense, have shared it on some sites over here ( UK ) and will spread the word. Keep up this fantastic work, and thankyou.
Wonder how many pilots lost their knuckles whilst adjusting the carburettor valve on their nitro motors whilst they were running 😂
If you get nicked on the back side of prop it beats you back. I seen people stop the engine by using their palms against the prop disc. If you tried that on the other side it would suck you into the blender and seriously chew you up.
I loved the days I started my interest ... 2 stroke O.S. max .... the 9.99cc because reasons back then :) the tune .. the weighted tube in the tank ... the electric people won't understand. ( I miss the smell the most though *only40* ) damn I didn't even see the 70's
What a racket! ;)
Don't worry.. I have much more "rackety" things planned for this summer :-)
@@xjet turbine and pulse jet racket I hope :)
@@Caroline_Tyler Yes, I've been working on my next pulsejet model 🙂
@@Caroline_Tyler I was hoping he will dust off old god cox engine
Thank you for sharing Me and a lot of buddies in my club still fly a lot of nitro planes 😊 Including old ducted fan jets Keep them flying
I am watching this for historical reasons, as I grew up near a place where people flew these on Sunday, I specifically wanted to hear the noise produced!
Nothing like the smell of nitro in the morning.
Now that boys and girlsis a real model airplane
Ron! that was a fab story, shame Bruce cut out the reactions. these were the #OSMax days
Boy does that bring me back!! Nice!!
I have a Loaded Dice 2 with a 61 long stroke and a tunned pipe it goes well 😁👌
Pretty fantastic airplane, Bruce! 😃
Since I saw the chainsaw airplane Samm Sheperd (R.I.P.) made years ago I want to build something like that... I can't find a small enough chainsaw here, but I've seen people use those grass cutters... I don't know the correct name in English... But, either way, I've seen people use it. And it's gas powered the same way. 😃
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
“Strimmer” is the name (in the UK) for what you’d call a “brush cutter” in Merica (F*** yeah!) 👍
@@wearemany73 Thanks!!! 😃
@@wearemany73 Actually most people call them a "Weed Whacker" in the states.
Right at the end I notice a rubbish truck did Ron crash something or did you take the heli out .
very nice ! That brought some memories :-) ...
if you pay that helicopter pilot double he will fly upsidedown and mowe your grass. so you don't even have to pull your mower out of the shed 👍👍👍
A blast from the past. I hated cleaning them up after I was done.
Back when RC was still cool.
Bridi UFO and O.S. 61 SF Ringed! Flew one till I wore the engine out. Good Ol days.
Cracks me up the pilot is wearing the Jack Daniels shirt all the way in New Zealand.
Nice airplane by crikey
Tuned pipes are like the exhaust headers for V8's! They make the engines really sing and sound awesome. Is that an OS Max 61?
That sounded over-propped, or the pipe was too long, as it wasn't getting onto the pipe!
Wow wow wow! How old is this thing? Truly remarkable.
100.6 is bed time music !!!! Lol
Always wondered if they sold tuned pipes for these.
FIBALLY NITRO!!
Oh, the joys of nitro fuel cleaning up after flying and wearing shorts getting the fuel all over your legs. LoL
Way better than electric.
I've got a couple of classic Bridi designs, a glass Dirty Birdy, and a wood Killer Chaos .60. The DB is a display piece, and the KC has yet to be built. I'm not fussing around with 2 strokes and tuned pipes.... An O.S 91 Surpass 4 stroke is going into that bish. Too bad if I ever actually fly it, I'll be a criminal, because I don't respond well to tyranny, and refuse to comply with arbitrary dictates. Man I miss the '80's.
lolz about the helo and grass clippings...
Sweet sound can’t wait for the warmer weather (U.K. winter at mo) & a new 12v battery and I’ll get my spitfire running for engine tests.
Model looks like a Curare to me. Although Im not sure it had a clear cockpit canopy like that...🤔🤔😳😏🇬🇧
Excellent plane!! It flies wonderfully, that was before the time of foam and electric airplanes... wonderful time.
Very good video, it is very well recorded and looks very good, could you please tell me what camera it was recorded with? Thank you very much and greetings. Jesus.
It seems that he needs a bit higher nitro mix, it didn't seem to "come onto the pipe"
I miss my Kaos 40
The glow plane would be IMO, the engine is a little rich, and/or the pipe needs to be tunee better. Possibly play with the prop and higher octane rating w less oil.
I would put some a bigger engine, maybe a two stroke .52 or .56.
A more enlightened time
A weapon of a more civilized time.
I get Magic Muffler Deja vu
Actually the 70's I think. Thanks
how high is that thing revving, it sounds like 14000 rpm or more even!
Hi Bruce, Lego has a set depicting a drone in a villainous role, 60207 | Luchtpolitie Drone-achtervolging | Lego. similar to the use cases from the media. Is interesting how now Lego that refused to have models depicting tanks, combat aircrafts has now decided is ok to have a quadcopter being used by criminals and shot down with nets. Bet this works wonders for the hobby by having kids play with it.
Joe designed some awesome planes in his lifetime...
Again the group of old men reunion does feel good what is that Ron's holding in his hands is it your selfmade airplane thingi which tells you a approuch of it ??
Btw Bruce when do you give the plans free ive got all the hardware the pi the reciver the case and screen. Looking forward the make it but didnt saw the YT broadcast of it. Plz share with us Bruce!!
it isn't 1970's without Rhom-Air Retracts! :P
Those things scare me, electric props do enough damage, had a few cuts 😆
there a lot safer, coz for a start they can't just burst into life like electric can as you have to phisicly start it, and electric has a lot more power also but you canny beat them!!
@@ISOSAILING I know anything connected to a computer can start randomly but I have a disarm switch for normal use which is my comfort blanket 😀
That Bell jet ranger is a engine anyway
Joe Bridi UFO Taking me way back
100.6? Now do the same test with one of those nitro models. 😏
Oh, and *still* not registered! 🇬🇧
I fly nitro planes and helis, as well as electric (electric is much cleaner, lol)
Hi Bruce, was that thing actually coming on the pipe or was it just a glorified muffler. I heard an HP on a tuned pipe many many years ago and it was one of those sound you never forget. Terrifying.
It doesn’t sound like it’s ever actually “on the pipe”
Nice blow air2 s army out
I was still excite about tuned pipes well into the 90's. I realize m opinion don't mater, just saying.
My fumble thumbs keep hitting the send button when I meant to delete a word
Test Pilot Tim would be able to wring about 5,000 more RPM out of that engine WITHOUT the tuned pipe!!! What has happened to Tim? We haven't seen him in your vids for sometime.
only took 30 seconds of spinning it to make it run?
the tank is probably below the level of the carburettor and it took a while to draw the fuel up. You can choke the venturi with a finger but risk a hydraulic lock if you do it using a starter. Electrons are cheap, bent conrods aren't.
Not to dissimilar to the Kavalier in my latest video, you can't beat a low-slung tricycle undercarriage on a low wing model from yesteryear, thanks for sharing Bruce 👍
WINDY ??????????
