I’ve shared your project with Barnes Wallace’s colleague’s family...well done team.

You three make me so proud to be English. Engineering, friendship and gentlemanly conduct. Wonderful stuff.

Came here from Tom Stanton's channel, great job, really enjoyed it.

As good or better than Flite test projects. The design of the Lancaster available for free tiles off the net . Keep up the good work.

Also, I am grateful you had that "momemt" of rememberance! Perfect! Wow! Matt you are a such a genrous person! So humble and magnanimous that you would run a camera for someone else while being so "big" yourself. It's not every day that an Oscar winner would be a camera operator and transportation for new unknown actor. Some great engineering here. Very impressive work. One of my favorite stories from the war.

Thank you, gentlemen. Nov. 11th is also a very somber day for us Americans, as we pray for the souls of our fathers and brothers, and those of our dearest allies in the UK, lost in the Great War. As a retired US Army Veteran, I carry a poppy every day, all year, refreshed with a new one, on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.

A British dambuster coming down using a German Stuka sound. Priceless. Greetings from Germany. Amazing project. And btw, the Edertalsperre is only a few kilometers away from where I live ...

I loved ❤ this project James, and I'm just about to go watch Tom's video. I also think your Lancaster deserves a rebuild and some more scale detailing, it has such an evocative presence in the sky that I'm sure I'm not the only one that'd love to build one or even buy a kit designed by you.

great job guys

I imagine the struggles and challengers were a lot similar to how OG dambusters trained to get the technique down.

You guys are awesome! Showing the mishaps makes it so much more relatable when I remember the planes I've tried building. All part of the experience!

Guys you are a credit too your generation, was really taking back when you took a minute out to honour ex military personnel. Great video and fantastic work, gentlemen always keep doing what your doing 👍👍

Absolutly the best rc-project and on YT since David Windestal was last seen on FT! Nice work!! :)

That was so very cool. And the plane looked amazing in the air! looking forward to se more like this!

It took the designer of the bomb several months to get the speed, height and distances between the aircraft and target for it to work right. Duct tape in the TAG and USAAF was used to fix airframe battle damages, here in the state's we orginally called it 400 MPH Tape.

Three musketeers. I admire Tom's work of engineering. Vintage model aircraft produce some great looking planes. This video is nailed it with all the sciences and excitement involved. Cheers guys.

Totally brilliant ! I cheered when you launched it over the water 🥰🥰

What a fantastic setting to carry out your project. I wish my Final Year project was even half this much fun!

My Dad who spent WW2 involved in the development & production of the specialised explosives which made Barnes Wallace's bombs possible was later involved in the award of an honorary degree to Barnes Wallace, so I have followed all of his ideas including the aircraft recovery from Loch Ness with great interest (I once slept on a yacht moored at the western end of Loch Ness as we travelled along the Caledonian Canal).

Nice to see this link between History and technology. RC-modelling is not only a leisure. Many thanks for those shared video !

Be interesting to see a Mosquito built, and drop a Highball at a foam board ship...

Well done guys it really looked impressive,you had a very narrow corridor to get the Lancaster down and did really well.

I've just watched your video a year after the event. Very well done lads. I really admire your ingenuity. Oh and your behaviour too. I didn't hear a single expletive even when the lanc crashed. It might interest you to know that the average age of the crews on the dam busting mission was just 21 - lads like you. To me that's profoundly moving. Well done again. Hats off to you all.

Makes you appreciate how difficult the original mission was, holding a Lancaster at 60 feet while flying at 220 mph let alone AA guns shooting at you. Well done, real engineering in action.

A tribute to Hoppy Hopgood's sacrifice when Lancaster M for Mother crash at the Mohne Dam.

Had to watch this again! I saw the documentary on the WWII Dam Buster and you guys did a great job!

James, I've really enjoyed your channel but watching this made me realise that not only are you a skilled aviator, but you are a very talented film-maker as well. Your editing of the final successful slow-mo footage to the soundtrack was superb. Congratulations on this project!

Barnes Wallis is smiling in his grave.

That's awesome, and remembrance day was a great day for that. Imagine the stress an anxiety of those who did this mission IRL with a real plane and probably only had one shot at it!

Nicely done gentlemen. It's nice to see folks exploring and keeping history alive. Besides it looked like you had some great fun while doing it.

Really nice that you included remembrance day in the Vid.

First, this kid makes some really good videos. Second, getting 3 solid bounces for his 'bomb' was really excellent work. Nice plane, nice bomb release mech, nice work.

cool collaboration. The dambuster story is very interesting

Great to watch! My dad was involved in getting Barnes Wallace an honorary degree, because dad worked on the explosives which were critical to this mission!

Incredible…. And a black armband on the wing! Rates alongside Top Gear specials.

Absolutely bloody brilliant. Found this after finishing the James Holland book about the Dambusters. Very gratifying stuff, as I'm into RC planes.

10:39 Side note: That was the diving sound of a Junker Ju 87 Sturzkampfbomber with the Jericho Trumpets, and a Lancester certainly would not have been able to make such sounds, but the sound is almost always used for diving planes of other designs than the Ju 87.

Epic effort! I had a little smile too at you doing this not so far away from the original practice grounds for 617Sqn.

This may be your best video yet! Loving the documentary style. Top quality!

I LOVE the old stories of those AMAZING pilots!! Thank you for doing this!

I did watch a documentary about the WW II dam buster project, so that made your video a lot of fun, and very meaningful. Thank you blokes!

Great video! It catches all the fun you guys had and forwards it to us to feel it.

OUTSTANDING!! Hopefully the Lancaster will be seen again. Be a great FT kit.

The whole project was amazing! My favourite bit was actually the retrieval with the hydrofoil (really sleek design there!)

Great vid! And I do very much appreciate you stopping for a moment in honor of amenities day, or Remembrance Day. Cheers!

Absolutely love the Lancaster, was able to see one fly when I was at Abington air station, great job

bomb release mechanism is pure genius. i love it!

Would be cool to see an updated one of these, have an RC boat tow something into the water to use as target practice, and get the plane painted up to look like the real thing.

This is simply fantastic - you’ve achieved one of the things I’ve been dreaming of everyday for the last 45 years! Thank you!

Most excellent gentlemen. I enjoy watching your steps of progress in your projects. You've taught much to this old man.

That was fantástic. You let the enemy without water..and do a kamikazi ...

100s Guys you have the "Right Stuff" vision, tenacity, enjoying the project while you did it. Keep it up Chaps you all make a good team!

Great stuff to watch, guys. Reminds me of when I worked for the Wolfson Unit at Southampton Uni making models for hydrodynamic and wind tunnel testing. Keep it up! This is what British inventions are based on. This kind of work with models. It all starts here, from hovercraft to hydrofoils to rockets, and great to watch. What's the next project? A flying car?

That beats most of the times that I've tried to skip a rock. Outstanding! Too bad the plane broke though because that was a truly beautiful plane.

I found myself on the edge of May seat wanting this to work for you guys so bad when it finally worked I was excited for you guys wow really top notch 👏

Of course the actual bombers had a triangulated light system to judge the perfect altitude from which to drop the barrel bombs. Maybe you could drag a stiff wire or something underneath the plane to judge your optimum height for skipping the barrel.

Really cool to watch! Congrats on your achievement.

Job guys I think you all need a better landing spot wider runway would be nice. That's gotta be really difficult to try to hit that small runway. But you pulled that you guys pulled it off good job.

It is watching videos like this that has made me want to get back into the hobby after nine years absence. Outstanding work gentleman and a very entertaining video.

Wow what a project. Love your tenacity to make it happen. Great footage BTW.

It was a back spin that done the job finally! I remember my grandfather telling us the story they went through in the RAF durn this!

God bless Barnes Wallis and all his crew .true innovatives.

Literally my favorite youtubers all in the same video

Fantastic shots and flight guys .well done. I still love the back and white movie of the dam busters. Rolex in ireland. 👍👏👊✋👊👏👍❤❤❤❤☘☘☘☘☘

This is exceptional. One of the coolest things I've ever seen. And the video production is very good as well. (View count seems unreasonably low imo.)

Looks absolutely amazing! In future you could try adding a gyro to make the approach more stable and for more fun you could create a floating test target like the real thing.

Amazing flying and mechanism. Well done all.

Brillo guys . Real good fun to watch.

Terrific video! Excellent engineering! Congratulations gentlemen!

As a flight enthusiast bloak form the US.... seeing the young men of today taking an interest in not only aviation but history's accomplishments sure is great for the future. if you havent seen please check out Drago bush plane and its owner, mike who has an KZfaq channel . what he says in his intros describes what you r doing you james to a tee! dont ever give up what your doing brother

Nice one lads👍🍻. Got to respect those boffins back in the day (Barnes Wallace)

Can't believe you managed to pull this off!!!

The on-board gopro shots are great because you can hear the propeller drone. 4:32

Nice work! Bounced better than I expected

what a nice bunch of fellas great progress love the plane and you did bounce the bomb so thumbs up

Well done guys I never gave much thought doing the bouncing bomb thing with rc ,yea really cool .

Amazing job guys! I love to see young men and women solve problems with practical solutions!

The superglue on the camera lens can be dissolved with acetone, if the lens housing isn't made out of ABS plastic. I suggest using cottom swaps to wick on acetone on and then taking it off again with more cotton swabs.

Hey man you should totally make a variable sweep wing aircraft like the mig-23 or F-14 tomcat Really enjoyed the video

RIP Lancaster you will always be a part of our hearts

brilliant , please repair the Lanc , its beautiful to see fly

Smashing video as always Mr Whomsley. Especially enjoyed when you stated "landing is where it really got spicy" 😄

A very interesting video. As an aside, a reminder of the ingenuity and heroism of the dambusters raid. The casualty rate was awful, and those that went knew it would be. Eight of the nineteen aircraft were shot down with fifty three people killed and three captured, as well as the ~1,600 people killed by the flooding. What is more, Wing Commander Gibson flew his plane back over the dam to draw fire away from the aircraft yet to drop their payload, in a particularly heroic act. He survived but was killed later in the war.

That was so freakin beautiful! Well done! Thanks for a massively good show!

Why science and engineering is fun, well done

Good job! Lots of fun and good historical remake. Congratulations!

I think everything needs to be bigger = more energy = more power and i like the lancaster. Now i want to build my own! I love what you are doing!

absolutely brilliant fellas , that was amazing !!!!!!

Nice work fellas. Enjoyed the video and the project!

Came here from Tom Stanton's channel, you have great ideas! I had fun watching this! : )

Top effort lads, this is an epic broadcast

Wow there’s a lot covered in this video that tom skimmed over in his

Well done Lads, good to see young Men doing projects like this!!!

Came via Tom, subscribed... looks like some really great content on your channel!

The Highball anti ship bomb (to be carried in pairs by Mosquitoes) spun the bombs backwards to ensure they bounced. They were ready by 1944 and ridiculously destructive but were not used because had the tech fallen into German hands they’d have taken out the D-Day ships.

10:53 Your dramatic pianist doing the chords in time with the bounces needs more credit

Very well done, that was great to watch. Nice work

Seems like a trend with James's Mission planes. They finish their mission and just demotor themselves before landing. same with the shuttle mission plane, same with the Dambuster LOL

Clearly you need to clear out those darned stone walls. Time to bring in a full-scale Lancaster..! :-)

Well done gentlemen! BTW Isopropyl alcohol will de-bond hot glue.
