Some modelers deserve praise because of their design skills. Their building skills. And their guts....
Look at the wings build.
And suffer at the landing approach...

That guy Peter M. built several airliner, seen him on Discovery Ch. Not a very smooth flight for such a big plane the front wheel never came in and for the landing unless the wind changed 180 degrees he landed opposite of take off:confused:

I don't think it's the same guy. It says build and flown by Reinhard Oetken.
From other vidéos I have seen from Peter Michel, he flies a lot better.

This one flies too fast for one thing and he may need more expo. The plane seems to be tail heavy also. It always surprise me that people spend time and money to build scale planes and then fly them like aerobatic planes. Why not watch video of the full size and then spend time trying to recreate the flying also.

This video is from Peter Michel. Big difference in scale flying. So smooth.

That for sure was not Peter Michel flying.

Granted- the approach and landing were not great and we do generally take off and land in the same direction. However, I know that pilots generally say that any landing you can walk away from is a good one.
