Glad to do it. Love scale flying.

The wife and I spent 30 years as North America's only husband and wife air show announciing team. Cut our teeth at it back in the 1990s at many warbird shows including the National Warplane Museum's "Wings of Eagles" shows near Rochester, NY. Based on what we saw during all those years, I offer congratulations on an incredible recreation of a P-47 air show demo. The flight profile was spot on...no herky-jerky movement. Smooth as a baby's butt! You are an outstanding stick and rudder guy! Thanks for the memories.

Bill thank you so much! I can't tell you how much it means to me that you took the time to comment. I'll bet I've heard you and your wife on an airshow video if not at an airshow. I love to fly models realistically. Scale flying is something I study by watching full scale videos to get a feel for movement, roll rate, timing, etc. I try to get it as close as I can. Your stick and rudder comment made me think of two guys...Bob Hoover and John Mohr. I've never seen anyone better then those two at managing energy. Thanks again. Glad you enjoyed it!

Great video, Adam and Heidi. What a fantastic foam Warbird that is from Fms!! Looks so real in the air!! Especially when being flown by an expert scale pilot, very enjoyable video 😀👍

Wow, what a video! The complete dawn scenery was just breath taking. You got me from the very first minute and then this awesome slow, graceful scale takeoff. The lighting did the rest, perfectly captured by Heidi. What an amazing Team you are! The P-47 is an absolute eye catcher and also in my case, just the missing Hangar space prevents me from seriously considering to buy one. I can’t get over the reflections from the morning sun on the silver painting of the bird, diving it into shades of red as you are doing your rolls and maneuvers… what a joy to watch - thanks a lot, Adam and Heidi.

Absolutely TOP NOTCH! I'll bet most people don't realize even your taxi out was scale! P-47's (and other warbirds) would "zig-zag" down the taxiway because they couldn't see over the nose! Very great conditions, loved the lighting personally, and smooth flight as usual. Of course, Heidi CRUSHED IT! Keep 'em coming brother, you guys are awesome!

It's all your fault. I blame you! You did a demo of the E flite 1.2 P-47 some time ago, and made it look so good that I went ahead and got one. I knew FMS had this 1.5 version - but they had been out of stock for a very long time. So I gave up on trying for the FMS. Now, FMS has this back in stock but I have a problem with space and I already have 'Kansas Tornado II' and it is still doing fine. (316 flights at present) Wow, you both did such a great job with this 'scale' video. Being smooth on a scale flight really does it for me. I am sure old Robert S Johnson and his buds would have been very touched if they were still here to see something like this. I love the early morning setting. The fog is a bit like what they had at some of the English fields, and just a bit of sun glinting on the plane really looks great. Fabulous! I really look forward to more of your excellent 'Scale Flights' series!

Fantastic flying as always Adam. Another great video. I love my FMS 1.5m P-47 as well, just be aware that the wing plugs have been an issue for some of us. Mine worked great for a few dozen flights then my aileron quit on one wing, jiggle the plane and it works again then a few minutes later it quits again. I'll be getting rid of the plugs before I fly mine again. Best looking and best flying warbird in my hangar though 😁 Only thing it's missing is a scale diameter prop.

@ModelAV8RChannel

7 ай бұрын

Thanks Chris! I wondered about the connectors. We'll see what happens. I agree on the prop, but I get why almost nobody does that. A lot of RC pilots don't use rudder very well if at all and with a low kv motor and scale prop they'd be in real trouble.

Impeccable flying (as always), Adam! You absolutely nailed scale flying of the Jug! Excellent scale takeoff right down the centerline, truly scale-appearing aerobatics & flybys, and a nice, by-the-book 3-point landing. 😎Reminded me of dad, along with airshows I've attended. Think I need one of these, since it doesn't look like Eflite's gonna do a 1.5m bubbletop anytime soon.

Thank you so much Joel. That means a lot coming from you. I suspect you're more knowledgeable on P-47's than any modeler out there. It had to be awesome hearing your dads stories of flying the Jug. This one is the best one I've flown yet.

@MrTurboparker

Yes, it was great hearing the stories from dad. But the best was when mom, my brother (B-52 instructor/pilot), and I got to go to one of the 345th Devilhawks reunions & meet a bunch of the pilots back when they were still sharp & remembered what it was like. Unfortunately, dad was already gone by then. But a son of one of the Devilhawks pilots decided to gather all of the pics he could from families of the pilots. That's where a number of the pics I've posted of Jugs flying home with half a wing missing, 20mm cannon hole in a prop-blade, cylinders shot off the engine, prop curled around the cowling, wing LE, cowling, and prop dented-up from flying through a small forest, and the Jug that landed with a 1000-lb bomb under the belly that blew up on touchdown but the pilot walked away came from.
