Would love to see these You Tube videos that you guys send, but, most , I cannot. Must be my own WiFi problem....frustrating!!!

I use to fly those things about 25 years ago. Was never as good as that guy but had fun, That plane had to of cost a small fortune to build.

That's a neat plane. I have a small RC helicopter, nothing on that scale. They are fun tho. Thanks!

Hard to believe Mark if you can get online why you cant watch Youtube.

You can't view youtube videos?

Ok guys...I'm skipping off my wife/girlfriends' WiFi from next door via an extender, so my signal can sometimes be weak.
A couple of you know of my situation, but others do not. Just need to break down and get my own direct feed I guess.

I think you mean your own ISP - Internet Service Provider.

Same thing...different jargon...but yes!

Great flight, great handling of that Fokker. And a beautiful landing, too. Thanks much for the post.

Sure was an expensive 7-cylinder engine ($9K+) he put into the build. Would have been doubly cool if the builder went all the way and built a full-sized plane, then flew it himself!!

Kept on looking for Snoopy in his Sopwith Camel to come over the hilltop...

that Fokker sure is nice and he can pilot quite well. i used to fly remote control planes. started with u-line as a chap and worked up to the rc models. finally got my private pilot license in high school. id like to have flown something like this for real. closest i ever got to a tri-plane was a jenny i flew with a friend of my father.

It sounded like the real deal on power fly by!
My brother and I used to fly the fly by wire planes in the 60's and later he would move up to building the big for the time stunt planes with the McCoy 60 engine. Then he built a few basic R/C planes.

I still fly radio control planes but nothing like that. You need special certification to fly those planes due to the weight of it. I wouldn't dare fly it if it were mine. LOL

That guy has some impressive flying skills from the ground! I wonder if he has any real flying time? Or is he a video game quarterback? Either way, it’s a heck of job he did!

No kidding...takes a lot of skill either way!

Wow...about as real as it gets with 4 jet engines! Excellent video angles too!
