Watch the next part here! (battleship conversion) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nJdDhp6NRY

You found exactly the visibility problem found in WWII with that warbird. The Fleet Air Arm solved it with landing immediately from a sharp left hand turn as finals so the carrier was visible out to the side.
-
I appreciate that there are people brave/crazy enough to do stuff like this for this 65 year-old kid to enjoy. Cheers, guys!

Landing a 1/10 scale plane on a 1/100 scale aircraft carrier is MAD SKILL!
-
Aircraft carriers in real life steam into the wind at a speed that is a significant fraction of the landing speed of the aircraft, and also align their heading to any existing wind. For a fighter jet coming in at 120-130 kts, having 25-30 kts of carrier-made headwind and anything from 0 to 30+ kts of additional headwind from winds, removes a large amount of relative speed. Looking at the scaling here, it is a bit like trying to land an 737 on a stationary Nimitz/Ford carrier in real life...

Hey, I'm a 12 year old who loves aircraft, and have an rc plane of my own. Me and my grandfather build stuff for it, repair it and its really fun! I was inspired by you to make bigger scale projects even though I don't have the biggest area to do these things. I also don't have a major budget, so watching your videos makes me really happy as it allows me to get the joy of having a really big rc workshop. Have a good day

Just wait till a Japanese airplane see it.
-
I'm glad y'all figured out to drive the boat forward when trying to land, plus to be fair that makes it more realistic.
-
The difficulty for pilots to see directly in front of the Corsair made carrier landings challenging during their use in WW2.
-
I walked into the room to find my son was watching this. I stopped and watched like a zombie; totally enthralled. I'd imagined doing just this when I was a small boy. You made it look easy - great work 👏
-
I am an RC aircraft pilot since 1986 till todate. I have never seen anyone make that kind of flying skill and land and build the large RC aircraft carrier. Well done!

As a military enthusiast, I saw something you forgot, that if you do another project like this, you should include. The object in question is the OLS, or optical landing system. A series of lights on the side of the flight deck that will look correct only if the plane is positioned correctly. Also, for such vessels that sit that high in the water, add a keel, preferably a folding one. That way you can sail without too much worry about wind, but you can still sail in relatively shallow waters. Also, just a suggestion, make everything heavier, the ship and the planes. This would increase the stability against many things, such as turbulence, even if it meant increased inertia. A heavier plane also means a much more firm landing, and less bouncing. Give it a try next time you attempt something like this.

THAT WAS FANTASTIC!! Loved So Many moments of this!
-
I just spent half an hour watching a guy build an aircraft carrier - and enjoyed every second. damn these likes are coming in faster than a wildfire spreading
-
That was sick
-
It’s fun and stuff until your enemy sends out a f35
-
What a riot! Great fun. And properly narrated. Hanna, your LSO, deserves a medal!
-
Im envious of your future children man 😭. Keep that passion going!
-
Kevin hast du nen Kinderwunsch

This is probably the most sick aviation video I’ve ever seen. Especially it being on a small scale. I love planes, specifically RC planes, so I can fly them, so just felt super realistic, and I like that. Amazing job!
