Here's an award-winning model from master scratch-builder Wade Joos: a truly one of a kind 109" wingspan Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar!
Watch as she takes to the skies over Mesa Arizona during the recent Arizona Electric Festival....a stunning model, just stunning!

My dad was crew chief on the C-119 while in the Marines during the Korean war. They were hit and had a fire on board and his leg was burned so bad the wanted to amputate it but he would not let them and eventually got better. He then went on the helicopters and went to Vietnam 3 times.

WOW!!! Thanks so much for checking in and sharing that personal story with us! I appreciate your father's service to our country, and it's another example of someone saying WAIT on the amputation...and in the end it got better and your father continued to serve! All the best to you!!!

Thanks Peter! Wade builds some of the most incredible scale models I've seen; an absolute master of his craft! You're quite right, Tony did a great job on the sticks and did a great last second save! Cheers Mate and Blue Skies!

Man, you are so lucky to glimpse things like this! The club near me charges $150 a month for a membership, and I’ve been flying solo since learning. This is a genuine beauty to watch, thanks for sharing it so other people in my predicament and I can see the world of flight!

That pilot needs to work on his right rudder skills big time. He needs a little scale T-6 time to teach him some good habits!! Beautiful model, that looks to fly very nice!!

Wow what bonza bird 👏 Looked like a nerve racking flight. Great save at the end. A lesser pilot would of turned her into a box of kindling. Nice save well flow 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

They should call that plane the Phoenix....because it is a model airplane. If you know the movie, you will know the twist in that reference.

@JustwingitRC 6 күн бұрын

@@merrillhess5626 I absolutely know the twist in that my friend! Although, the plane in the movie was actually a smaller version of the C-119, they are still close enough. Cheers my brother and thanks for the great movie reference 😁👍😎

He GOT TO SLOW, and he STALLED IT. It's simple folks! No need to try and reinvent the wheel guys! Do better next time, and someone needs to tell the pilot if he adds more nose weigh, it will land even faster!!!! That thing drops a wing when it stalls, and no it was not a "tip stall"!
