SE5a micro slips outside...

This is the story of a little indoor SE5a model that daydreamed of flying outside in the big blue sky. One calm eveing, the little plane slipped outside right before sun went down, and had an exciting flight.
I made this little guy by using card model graphics printed directly to 1mm depron foam. the fuselage is folded and glued just like the card model would be.

it's Mike's first time behind the camera. it's a little shaky at first buyt he really does a great job and gets some good shots. the song is Johan Struass- The Blue Danube.
I tried to abbreviate the song a bit to get the length down. I also tried to edit the video to the the song as best I could.
the video is made using Adobe Premiere Pro 3
Thanks for watching. turn up the volume and enjoy!

Wonderful. I'm 72. My grandad flew the Se5a in the first, great war. He told me of the adventure, courage, fear and ultimately, triumph. I fly RC and I sure wish he could see this, right now, with me. I'm getting teary eyed and the music is so wonderful. THANK YOU for this video.

Great little plane. Cool music choice!

Fantastic flying machine you have. I think I would like to attempt to build one. Great video, truly enjoyed the flying and the music!!!

[oasisneko]

You talked me into it... I just bought one.  I love the weathering and details you did
on the grill.

Thanks again!

THATS how a video like this is Done! Way to go man, the plane, the editing, the music, you nailed it, great job. Love the SE-5a!

One of the best I've ever seen! Great building, great photography, good choice of music. I gotta build one!! Thanks for sharing.

Very nice! I'm curious about how you printed the depron sheet. Did you prep the foam in any way to get the ink to adhere or is it just printed straight on to the foam? Congrats on a very nice build!

beautiful little airplane, and a great video to go with it! The Strauss is a great choice too-suits the mood well, plus it's one of those pieces that's impossible to listen to without smiling anyway. happy landings!

@lucauby thank you! I tried hard. I'm not good at it, but my brother is very good . it was made with adoe premiere pro. thank you.

[batmank]

Very nice!! What printer did you use to print on the depron?

[jvs]

What a GREAT vid w/ good contrast up against the lawn. So many vids are taped so far up in the sky you can't see where the plane is and you don't have any sense how fast it's going. Music or no music this was a good vid.

Great video. Great plane. A tribute to your modelling skills. I'm very jealous.

Did you blow up the file at all or did you just use the large version? Because I was thinking of making a newport 17 to "dog fight" my flyzone micro albatros.

Thank-you for the lovely music. So many of these YouTube videos have abominable sound tracks.

@batman2k8, sorry wasn't paying attention. the printer is just a simple Canon MP250 . cost is only $40.

[Ahkeys]

Ahh...should've waited until the video was over to write. Nice job on this model! I like micros. Fun.

[lucauby]

Your video editing skills rock! Great job blending the music with the footage!

[dcwwwcp]

@mrt300995 they are completely rearrange, resized and manipulated to get what I want with the chep printer I used. that's where all the work is.

[fafacloster]

@dcwwwcp , very very nice model, BRAVO !!
2 questions please : what is the size of the depron sheet you have used with your canon MP250 : A4, A3, ..?
could you please send me the link of the website you have downloaded the drawing so I can buy one ?
Congrat again for this little jewel
