The B-17 is stunning. Beautiful model. I'd kill for a grass field like that.

[donfreeman]

Wow, those are gorgeous planes. I love the sound of those engines and the music too!

[taofledermaus]

Great footage Horst!      Depth perception can be tricky.   A friend of mine flew his foamie Corsair right into a big oak tree since he thought it was a lot closer than it was.

[grahamschofield]

Nice aeroplane...nice take off..nice sound...nice flight ...great landing👍

[michaelarterbury]

The battlefield theme in the background is awesome

[tzbrizer]

That sound of the small radials is so cute and realistic!!!!

[theduder]

The only thing better than this would be to see footage from it's belly gun cam. Awesome!

[silviaradesky]

UNBELIEVABLE !! We are fortunate to see the "real thing" every year at the MAAM WW2 Airshow and some clips in the video; you cannot tell the difference!! WONDERFUL VIDEO :)

[mikeeihusen]

1st video of this plane was awesome too! especially because you only had 3 engines!! ANOTHER GREAT

[SMGJohn]

Good engine sound, almost sound like the real thing but quieter.

[Hilts]

love the Battlefield 1942 PC game music in the background!

[johnschwartz]

American planes being celebrated in Germany... awesome.

[blackmennewstyle]

Another great serie of model aircrafts :)
Nicely shoted and piloted!
Thanks for sharing and happy midweek

[spore]

Your usual brilliance is evident again, Horst. Excellent job recording these three lovely aircraft, and I was happy to hear that the unfortunate 'landing' by the Corsair wasn't fatal.

[charlesbarr]

That has to be one of the coolest things I've seen.

[peterkummer]

Hallo Horst, die Insel Usedom grüßt Dich und Deinen Beitrag. Nur mit solch guten Videos, damit meine ich Bild und Ton, kann man unser schönes Hobby auch anderen Menschen näher bringen. EIn schönes Wochenende wünscht der PETER aus Usedom

[a.michaelsen]

Every time I see one of these fantastic models crash, I feel realy sad. All the time, effort and love the builders and RC-pilots have put into the builds, only to see them destroyed. I'm on the brink of crying.

[johnmcgee]

Oouucchh... beautiful airplanes... I cried when I piled my F4U in

[davidrakestraw]

All of these planes sound mean as hell. The corsair sounds like a damn nascar. I love it!

[avipatable]

Another great video Horst! Shame about the poor Corsair! Particularly liked the slow mo and angles of the B17 on the ground... looked real!
