The builder, Ian Turney White, has done a fantastic job on this half scale. I love the use of rudder on landing, just like the real aeroplane !! Way to go Ian !!

50% scale anything is incredible. This model is beyond awesome. My hat's off to the builder. (from an 85 year old ex-lifetime modeler)

Come back in the Community !😅

This plane has got to be in the top three of best looking RC planes in the World.

OUTSTANDING!!!! An Absolutely beautiful model! Well done!

Brilliant model, expertly flown by a wonderful gentleman. I'm so crushing on that model, definitely a labor of love many hours building it. Flies beautifully. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing, incredible, beautiful, brilliant, wonderful. Very nice ! Congratulations to the builder.

Excellent job of modeling a rare, historically important airplane. I loved the flight and how the landing gear absorbed little bounces as they rolled her in ! Thanks.

I replayed the few seconds from 2:25 several times, as the takeoff run started, just to watch the suspension working.

I'm a closet scale guy and love this craftsmanship. Great job

What a beautiful plane! Ought too have a radialengine. 🙂

That is a beautifully built British Bulldog. It looks so real. Well done the builder. Fantastic work.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

Very Cool Plain

It was, they used it in the documentary about Douglas Bader, the gentleman said in the beginning of the video. It's a good documentary and worth a watch. Cheers.

That is awesome. I hate watching the models that are so fast that the scale speed is like Mach 2. This looks like the real thing up there. Nice!

Lovely model. Good filming in the conditions.

Needs a beefier sound imo, but that aircraft would cost a fortune!

Wow!

Cudowny model ! I gratulacje dla modelarza, który go zbudował ... 👍✌️🛩️🍾👋

very nice

" Reach for the Sky " Douglas Bader Film . 🛩🛩🛩

That's beyond beautiful...some serious skill went into that beauty and the amount of detail fits a plane that size...would love to fly that myself call me jealous😂...great video Dom

Complete credit to the builder/pilot.

Stall speed slower than I can walk. Is that a full radial engine ?. Just gorgeous aircraft and humble builder. Halcyon days . Thanks playmates. Dave

FromvAlabama USA. Enjoy European large scale Flying machines.

50 % scale is insane

❤❤❤❤

Gorgeous airplane! Very scale. What is the little propeller driven device on the lower right wing?

Absolutely amazing! ( but I have to wonder if, after all the effort and cost, why not make one full size to fly in ?) 😉👍

He said the film was made 5 or 6 years ago by the BBC. Reach For The Skies came out in 1956 and was made by Rank.

This outstanding model has got to have a proper radial.....it belittles a great model....otherwise beautifully crafted and flown congratulations. 😊😊😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Ok so where should he get one with the right power and weight? Just waltz down to Custom Radials R Us and pick one out? There is no such engine in existence. Or perhaps he should buy a machine shop and learn the tool and die trade and design and make one because his effort in building this fabulous model is not impressive enough for some in the comment section? Good grief.

Fantastic RC replica. Who makes a half scale 9 cylinder radial engine?

Awesome model. Great footage. I thought that the pilot was going to ground loop it🤔😲😲 The Bulldog shall forever be linked with DB's crash. Iirc RAF pilots were banned from low level aeros in them. In the film (Reach For The Sky - 1956) they show DB (giving into ego after being goaded into doing aeros) doing a low level roll in the Bulldog - with a torturously slow descending roll/rate - as he goes into the ground upside down.

The Bulldog. The plane that Douglas Bader lost his legs in!

That Deep Vein Thrombosis can be a devil.

I wonder why it couldn't loop,just a few wig overs? Is it because the engine hasn't got the power to pull such a large model through the manoeuvre? Nonetheless, it is a superb model - IMHO, one of the best I've ever seen. 👍

I often heard said in my youth that - Britain nearly went to war in Biplanes. But what is never mentioned is - Italy DID....

Does the model have a real functioning 8 cyl rotary engine ? Or are those cylinders just for show ?

Sorry to ask but 50% would be 15ft long? So how does the scale work

Talvisodan ensimmäinen ilmavoitto saatiin tällä konetyypillä. Viimeinen yksilö on museoituna Kuoreveden Hallissa museossa.

Для карлика подойдëт😁

What is the engine?

What is the real scale?

I think they built the original by referring to this model...!

It's not a model. It's a 1:1 dwarf size plane.

Thick i would put a seat in it and let the 3yo fly it.

So what is it - he asks. The World is full of bloody extremely ignorant people

This model isn't half scale! Maybe 1/5th scale!

Doesn't look 50% scale ?
