I was going to write 'shame about the small non-scale prop' but having just watched the maiden take-off ............. probably for the best? Fabulous re-build Sir, particularly the new colour scheme.

It looks and sounds like a much bigger plane and it looks just awesome! Congrats on the fantastic maiden flight!

Nicely done

Master builder!!

Well done and love for Royal Navy model aviation

Wicked plane mate. Looks and sounds bloody great. Regards Chris Bailey

Beautiful plane and great flight.

A masterpiece. To be proud of. Sounds great. well done.

Why would anyone paint that truly ghastly and stupid colour scheme on that original sea fury anyway ??????? Having said that, what a truly magnificent restoration. 10/10. Great craftsmanship to convert a ghastly wreck into something amazing.

Unbelievable workmanship! One of the nicest Sea Fury builds I’ve ever seen! And that Moki is running so smooth! Congrats on this fantastic model! 🎉

Thanks for sharing all the work that it takes to get this Sea Fury restored and back in the air. Keeping focused on the goal of flight means very careful work to make sure all the systems are perfect and that too much weight doesn't sneak in. The successful test flight is the reward for all the endless hours of craftsmanship. This is something to be proud of.

Well done that man. Beautiful job, and a fine maiden. My pipe dream is to build a Bates 1/4 Tempest V, and watching you do the maiden did give me sweaty palms. Hate to think what they will be like if and when my turn comes!

Congratulations!! ❤️🇦🇺

There is nothing better than a Fury and a Mokie, not to mention a beautiful field to fly.........

Congratulations! Great restoration and maiden.

Absolutely fantastic workmanship

How brilliant, amazing and well done. Sharing your vid with my build crew, our Fury is full scale tho 🦘🇦🇺 couple of short resto vids on my channel, she is no where near finished, big project. All the best Deb from HARS Aviation 👍

Great job. Both the restoration and the flight.

Way to go Herb! Congratulations!!! Sea Fury's fly great! Hope to fly mine with you at the Sod Farm! Charles Wright

Vrooom! Love it Herb!

I have a J B 1/5.5 Seafury built it a few years ago turned out nice but needed a lot of weight up front to balance a lot more than the EME 60cc engine that i had in it . photo on Cali Graphics website Sea Fury RCN #800 Graphics Set

Odd that no fast taxy trials were done to assess direction stability before the actual take off?
