Five years of work, truly a labor of love. That Stuka looks amazing!

I'm not a modeller myself but I can appreciate the jaw dropping level of commitment to such a project. Well done!

Not only he knows how to build it, in every detail. He also knows how to fly it. 2 very different skills. Very impressive.

Yes, unusual combination of skills indeed!

Simply amazing! The best looking WW2 plane in my opinions. I loved the ME-109 as well but the wing design of the Stuka is just immaculate!

From one builder/flyer to another... hands down you're at the top of the class ! An amazing display of discipline and talent, both in the build and the flying ! Definitely of the best that I have seen. Congrats!!

I didn't see a bomb drop on the underbelly...perhaps you could add one and drop it on the knuckleheads who gave your video a thumbs down! I really enjoyed it! Even buying models that you build with plans out of a box is a mostly lost art today. 5 years and from scratch...that's an accomplishment! Well done!

On the real Stuka's the bomb was mounted on a trapeze like arrangement that swung it clear of the arc of the propeller before releasing it as the plane was nearly perfectly vertical during a dive.

Absolutely beautiful build brother. You are a very talented person. Thanks for sharing

I’m glad he added the true to life insignias...the swastika and not some generic design.

@@jaxmax5563 when you make something like that, based on a true historical airplane in this case, you want to make it as close to real as you can. He may have not make it 100% identical but it doesn't matter. His effort was to build that aircraft from that nation and era in history. You may think this as an experimental model that never made it to the Luftwaffe's airfields....☺️

How are they trumpets if they are wooden propellers with a fizzle hole though? Plus I wasn’t able to find an original blueprint of it only photo’s so I don’t know how these people could achieve such goal

Brilliant build! The large scale makes it fly like a full size aircraft, much more realistic, top man!

Very impressive from start to finish ... you have a lot to be proud of.

That was an epic film...beautifully detailed model and the first flight...amazing!

Pat.....I don't like to throw this statement around or use it lightly but your a FREAKIN GENIUS....by far the most amazing and time consuming process that I've ever seen and it worked beautifully...my hats off to you.....a maizing....nuff said

Great build sir and you are the best pilot I've ever seen, smooth and scale speed too. Congratulations! I love the way your whole family was with you.

Brilliant. How far we've come since my own feeble R/C efforts in the early 1950's. Wonderful.

Wow! Beautiful build and the flying sure looked real to me. The take offs and landings looked so real. Bravo!

Wow! The wing loading looks perfect. This airplane fly's beautifully. Congratulations!!! Your very hard work has payed off.

Wow! Five years! You got the aerodynamics perfect. It flies like a dream!

What a beautiful model,,and the electric inbuilt starter, Great flying too, well done.

Such Attention to detail. What a Beautiful Plane, he’s ended up with!!

Big patience and an awesome reward. Good job.

Brilliant! I was in awe and then...”the tool man”. Love it!

WOW WHAT A BEAUTY, THIS GUY SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF HIMSELF,

Great job!!! Beautiful mode,. Best of luck.

Great work! A really good result from the build and silky-smooth flying skills - very well shown with the nice landings! Well done!

I loved the fact that you are honest about your tryouts and revisions. A journey taken is worth as much as arriving! I hope your son recognises that he has an awesome Dad! Best wishes - Rick in London

Simply amazing. Beautiful, detailed, inspired...and it FLYS!

Amazing work, beautiful flight! Can’t wait to see the fully completed aircraft!

I echo the other's comments: What a build! What dedication! What tenacity! There wouldn't be 20 out of a 100 that would have even attempted this project, let along complete it. My hat is definitely off to you. Note: I built 3 Experimental Amateur Build airplanes - flew the last one for 13 years. Your build was definitely more difficult than mine. You, sir, are a fabricator. I know the hard work and dedication that goes in to these projects, be they full scale or less. You had the guts to take it all on and to realize a beautiful outcome. By the way, those wheel landings were superb. Difficult to do with any size airplane - takes finesse' which you have. Many thanks for letting us see this wonderful project.

Much respect and many thanks for the upload. I was particularly impressed by the superb maiden flight landing. Looking forward to future flights here on YT.

excellent Patrick skill and perfection,and a good pilot and you got it all,good luck!!!

Outstanding! Beautiful scale model and looks to be perfectly balanced. Congratulations.

From one Brit to an American Cousin, SIMPLY STUNNING! Well done.....

fantastic air plane .credit to your building skills .

inspirational to see reward from a long passionate journey..... thanks Patrick

Well done. I was into rc aircraft in my earlier years and careers got in the way and now I'm back in it and I to am building a stuka.i love the look of it.ill refer to yours when I need to.again well done sir

Amazing work. You are a mixture of engineer, mechanic and artist. Beautiful giant Stuka.

Masterful craftsman, building skills, imagination, and flying. Thanks for sharing the journey … loved every second. Kudos from one builder/modeler/flyer to another.

What brilliant craftsmanship. Beautiful. My great grandmother saw the real things come screaching down on her in Greece during early phase of WW 2.

HI R/C FREND BEEN R/C BUILDING FROM PLANS AND DESIGNING FOR 40 ODD YEARS . AND FULL TIME FLYING. SO NICE TO SEE THAT THERE ARE SOME REAL BUIDERS AND FLYER STILL OUT THERE. I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED. NOT LIKE SOME OF TODAY'S FLYERS ON LINE CREDIT CARD OUT OF A BOX TODAY AND FLY TOMORROW. WELL DONE LOVE IT R/C FREND.

Your first landing was so slick, couldn't have been better! Beautiful plane, love me some Stukas. Well done!

Sweet takeoff and landing. That's a nice looking bird you built. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing how smooth that plane is!! 👍🏻

Beautiful work, absolutely beautiful. I was literally praying all would be ok on that first flight. Great video, and no shitty music. Please make more videos. You are awesome sir, a true master craftsman.

Just wow on every count, design, build, problem solving , flying and an incredible landing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Freaking beautiful! Well done!!!!

That was awesome, what an AWESOME plane! Thank you!

Beautiful build..... Great job..... She look's gorgeous!!!!!!!

Astonishing video Patrick. All my hats are off to you. Good flying...

That was one of the most scale take offs and landings I have ever seen on a maiden voyage. Beautiful warbird and great skills.

Skills my friend....you have them in abundance! Thank you for showing us your passion.

I scratchbuild small RC planes out of cheap foamboard, and maiden flights still scare the puddin' out of me. I can't imagine flying something like your Stuka for the first time. Amazing! What a great build.

Older video, but it does bring back memories when I was building and flying RC. I even got to the point of teaching others to fly RC via the typical buddy-box system. So I know how much time, effort and work it takes to make such aircraft. And I can also understand the absolute "pucker" factor on your first, second and sequential flights with that build. I was holding my breathe on the first landing, but you did it very smoothly and life-like. Bravo sir, Bravo!

absolutely fantastic, what patience you must have! what skill too. nice to see the darker side of aircraft, everyone has spits n mustangs etc but see a stuka thats so rare!I would love to have your model!!!

i agree michael i have a zirolli stuka and i think he has made the nose to long possibly to conceal that zdz motor a fantastic build though, got to give the man a pat on the back

Awesome build, and love those Tim Allen clips.

Now get a couple Jericho Sirens, mount them on each landing gear and you'll be set. BEAUTIFUL build, congratulations!!

What a wonderful achievement! Stuka was an iconic plane and you recreated it. Well done 😊😊

Beautiful work and a tribute to you to stick with such a venture and complete it so successfully, right up to the first flight and might I add - your buttery smooth first landing! Congratulations and thank you all the way from Sydney, Aust - Dave

Just stumbled across this , mind blowing engineering crossed with artistry, amazing work.

Absolutely Stunning Man! Fantastic work on the aircraft and both flights shown were perfect. I would have been very nervous on that maiden flight, but her balance and trim looked spot on. Great piloting and landings 😎👍

Labour of love! I am sure you added the wheel pants, a spinner and Jericho's trumpet later. Bravo!

Great project. Fantastic craftsmanship. Congratulations!

Absolutely awesome. My favourite of all the WW11 planes. Stunning

One of the best T/O's and Landings I've seen on YT.

Fascinating... fantastic craftsmanship. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. But 5 years!!!! Incredible dedication.

WOW!!!!! What an amazing video and plane. Love the way you showed images of being built from scratch. Definite thumbs up from me and wish I could give more. Well done on building the plane, looks amazing.

Very very impressive and She looks Great.

Fabulous model and love the build pics. I dabbled in these many years ago, but never got to this level. I had a habit of converting all my RC models back to kit form and every crash took part of my soul. I cannot imagine how bad I would feel if I crashed this one after all those years of work.

Epitome of RC modelling!!! Metal canopy frame, electric starter, etc,? Hans-Ulrich Rudel would have been proud of you!!! OUTSTANDING!

"A critic is a product of creativity not his own!" You 'da Man!

The craftsmanship is first class. Excellent!

Great job. Dad and I used to build 'em. Your son adores you man. Enjoy that.

Beautiful plane and a beautiful landing, too. Well done!

Beautiful work. Lovely looking model.

Excellent Builder,Great aircraft,Awesome Flying..Congrats!

That's quite impressive! Congratulations!!!

Beautiful! And the most realistic R/C (1st) takeoff and landing I've ever seen!

Well done Patrick. Stunning job you did here, and professional landings :)

Excellent video and thank you so much for not adding background music!!

Awesome build and flight! Thanks for posting.

Gorgeous Stuka my friend! I've been flying about ten years and can't wait to have the opportunity (time/shop space) to build a large scale warbird! I'm sure that was a tense but rewarding maiden flight! Wishing you many more!

_Congrats. Nice built and successful maiden with brilliant landings !!!_ *THUMBS UP*_

Wow! You blew my mind! To build that from scratch. Liked the Tool man lol! Great landings, you were born with an an amazing gift. Learning to fly and I ain't got wings! Amazing job!

Absolutely incredible job!!!! The diving siren and a go cam in it would be really cool!!!!!

5 years! But finally the work is worth. Congratulations, great airplane.

What an absolute delight to see a scale r/c model aircraft flown at something like scale speed. Well done. Oh yes and the build was exceptional too! Good luck with it. Regards

Amazing work my friend, really amazing. Thanks for posting and big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert

You are an amazing artisan...beautiful war bird!

Beautiful ! A labor of love, happy trails !

Beautiful job building that beast..💪💪 Spectacular flying and a hats off to you for greasing your maiden voyage landing.. perfect..

What a beautiful piece of work. Congratulations.

Very WELL DONE. EXCELLENT JOB, GOOD FLYING and LANDING TOO! SMOOTH ALL THE WAY.

Nagyszerű munka! Nagyszerű repülőgép nagyon jó video👍👍👍

Nice work. The sliding canopy is a really nice touch. Looks great in the air, and the landings were very good too.

Hats off to you geezer, what dedication, beautiful machine.

Superb build, and beautifully flown! Congratulations! 🖒

That was mint cg balancing, sweet build, thanks for sharing.
