P-51 The Galloping Ghost @ Warbirds over Oberhausen

[passat47]

THIS BABY IS A REAL BAD ASS!

[MFGKirchdorf]

@passat47 YOU ARE RIGHT :)

[72Z15SS]

That is by far one of the best sounding R/C Model engines I have ever heard. Even the Moki radials only come close...

[MFGKirchdorf]

@72Z15SS Thank You !!!

[zvent1]

Words can't describe how that sound makes me feel! Great flying!!

[sukhoi115]

Extra ! en lui souhaitant un meilleur devenir que le vrai ... Moi je rêve d'installer un tel moteur (ou son petit frère en bicylindre) sur un Caudron 460 ou 561 ...

[MFGKirchdorf]

@sukhoi115 Merci pour votre commentaire.

Nous espérons également que cette P-51 reste encore long en une seule pièce.

Certes, vous pouvez trouver un moteur approprié pour votre Gaudron.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@matthieuletoulousain

Oui, cet avion est grand.

[cruddbucket]

HOLY COW BATMAN! that thing sounds so awesome it gave me shivers down my spine. And the P-51 has always been my favorite fixed wing of all time :D cheers!!!

[jmv668]

Awesome! Great vid, you rocks man!

[MFGKirchdorf]

@jmv668 Thank you very much.

[Pukas1989]

[MichelPidner]

Nothing but awesome!!!

[MFGKirchdorf]

@MichelPidner thx mate

[frmaues]

FANTASTIC, I WANT ONE IN BELÉM/PARA/BRAZIL.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@frmaues I think it would not be a problem to order it. You will find the link to manufactor in the video description.

[navajo1806]

i pee in my pants dude.. this is amazing..... holy shit.. music to my ears...

[MFGKirchdorf]

@navajo1806 that's the effect how it should be.

[HiveFleetBasilisk]

god bless this machine O.o Think I have a new ringtone *.*

[MFGKirchdorf]

@HiveFleetBasilisk it sounds good as a ringtone :)

[TAKETOREMENT]

dear santa!!!

[DHC8100]

WOW, I think I have watched/listened to this video 100's of times and I will never tire of that sound! Has to be one of the best sounding RC planes ever! What a fantastic plane and a very fitting tribute to all those who were lost. Great job and beautiful plane, and hope to see the Ghost flying for many years to come.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@DHC8100 cooool comment :)

I still have some other flights on tape.

[detriments14]

I would never get tired of listening to that. It's like music. That's fantastic.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@detriments14 Thanks for your comment :)

[Guinnie]

what a beauty daaaaamn

[MFGKirchdorf]

@Guinnie Thank you Sir !

[wjkssmd]

Is it against the law to put some mufflers on that thing?

[MFGKirchdorf]

@wjkssmd oooh YES ... it's absolutely against the law to kill this amazing engine sound :)

It would be the same if you can't hear engine noise at car races.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@wjkssmd oooh YES ... it's absolutely against the law to kill this amazing engine sound :)

It would be the same if you can't hear engine noise at car races.

[wjkssmd]

@wjkssmd When you loose the flying field because of the noise you created, then you might think different. You don't have the right to disturb everyone for miles and you certainly are not the main attraction. Maybe a less cavalier attitude about this would be nice.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@wjkssmd Cool down sports friend. That was an air show and the Mustang is flown only twice per day. In such events there are sometimes exceptions. The same applies to Pulsor powered model aircraft. Hope you understood my previous comment now.

I'm just the photographer and not responsible for the noise:)

✿••●●♥♥❤✿ MERRY CHRISTMAS ✿❤♥♥●●••✿

[canamwing]

This officially gave me goose bumps! NICE!!!!

[MFGKirchdorf]

@canamwing That's exactly how it should be :)

[XTIRP8]

bloody hell thats the most brutal sounding RC plane ive ever heard, sounds absolutely unreal! RC planes normally sound like lawn mowers at the best of times but this is just awesome!

[marinjeam]

What an engine, best sound ever,

[mathiew1234]

Nur noch obergeil!!!!

[rc2012ro]

muito bonito este aeromodelo, este motor é animal, fabuloso gostei muito!

eu adoro motor 4tempos fiquei de boca aberta.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@rc2012ro

Estou feliz que você gosta. O motor é realmente uma festa para os ouvidos. :)

[sacko79]

Impressive aircraft and flying...great sound...

[MFGKirchdorf]

@sacko79 Thank You !!!

[Cu3anito]

Und super geflogen!!!

[Cu3anito]

Uuuuuaaaaaa best sounded rc plane!!!!glückwunsch sehr beeindruckend....*anlage aufdreh*

[MFGKirchdorf]

@Cu3anito

Anlage auf MAX Vol. ist echt krass.

Wir hatten dieses Video am nächsten Tag auf dem Flugplatz mit einer Mega 1000W Anlage abgespielt. Von weitem konnte man glauben, da kommt ein richtiger Flieger über den Platz. :)

[Cu3anito]

@MFGKirchdorf

na das kann ich mir vorstellen....1000watt und dann der sound geil....

[FoolioELA]

Danke!

[MFGKirchdorf]

@FoolioELA

You're welcome !!!

[subzzzzzzzero]

SIMPLY AWSOME !!!!!!!!!

[operarter]

omg what a crasy sound! this is the greatest airplane I ever seen. Very nice

[MFGKirchdorf]

@operarter Thank You !!!

[tehJok3r001]

Yikes - me wanto build one of these.

Where can one get some building tips and what was used etc.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@tehJok3r001 You can contact the owner of the Ghost ... link is shown in the video description.

[ktmlifer]

Great video in memorial to Jimmy Leeward who lost his life in the real Ghost at Reno. I get chills and remember Jimmy every time i watch it. Suggest you edit with a credit at the end in his memory.

[bluedog1976]

Bloody awesome bit of engineering . Gives a man goosebumps.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@bluedog1976 You should see and hear it in real ... that's really amazing :)

[marcot401]

Do you have more video you can up load please? Do you have any more pics on how you built this dream? Wow I am so impressed on the clean detail and the lights, landing gear and the sounds are amazing how it powers its way to the heavens then gracefully glides in to a dive. I would like to tell you are an awesome top gun of a pilot. Thank you for your videos they are a joy to watch.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@marcot401 Hi there again :)

I have some more flight videos and here on youtube you will also find some video about the maiden and build-up of the Galloping Ghost.

.

btw. I am neither the builder nor the pilot of this airplane. I'm just a photographer :)

[marcot401]

My God what a beautiful artistic sound..... Like a symphony of pistons. I want one

I am happy to say I just got a divorce and since there is no woman here to yell at

me. I would love to build a beautiful crafted machine like yours with of course that same hi performance engine. Is that engine of yours like the factory sold it to you or did you modify it? can you guide me in the write direction on how to go about it thank you. And God bless

[MFGKirchdorf]

@marcot401 Thank you for your kind words.

LOL ... congrats for the divorce :)

Relating the airplane and the engine just read the video description where you will be linked to the sites.

best regards vorm Germany

[RCsportflyer22]

That sound is intoxicating. I wish even my razor made that sound as i make shaving passes lol.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@RCsportflyer22 ... LAMO ...

I think that you would then have trouble with your wife. :)

[xtremecaliber]

Wow what an amazing machine! awesome engine and some damn good pilot skills.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@xtremecaliber Thank you !!!

[HuskyMaxx]

Just check your trim tab...

[MFGKirchdorf]

@HuskyMaxx ... no trim tabs on this plane but you're right. Even on rc planes the mechanic should be checked from time to time.

Thanks for your tip !!!

[stfergus608]

thats the plane that crashed in reno

[MFGKirchdorf]

@stfergus608 this one still flies !!!

[stfergus608]

@MFGKirchdorf yes but the real one crashed

[TheTorri98]

OMG I GET A FRICKING EARGASM FROM THAT SOUND WHAT ENGINE IS THIS?!?!?!?!

[MFGKirchdorf]

@TheTorri98

Yeah ... it sound really fantastic.

The engine details you'll find in the video description :)

[wsrcflyer]

What engine is this?

[MFGKirchdorf]

@wsrcflyer It's written in the video description :)

[tommygola]

That is one awesome plane.. Unbelievable. Beautifully flown and well shot on video. Thanks for posting!

[jetcat4445t]

un freakin believable !!

[hoppinonabronzeleg]

Wow, OK. It seems to have sooo much power. how many blades is it? what scale speed is it, and what actual speed is it? I fly gliders, but would love to get my power licence

[MFGKirchdorf]

@hoppinonabronzeleg

just have a look on the pilots homepage (link added just now on the video description) and go for Galloping Ghost. So you can see the truncated two-blade prop and the max speed reached so far.

[hoppinonabronzeleg]

That is amazing, what a beast, that thing has so much power, I'll bet you have a metal prop!!

[MFGKirchdorf]

@hoppinonabronzeleg

Thanks for your coment. The propeller is made of wood and was truncated. :)

[MURRA1]

Seems like the wing broke, so don't blame the poor pilot, even if he is 74.

[SuperJerkyBoys]

Just don't have some 74 year old dude fly your model airplane and kill 9 people.

[rickd3508]

@SuperJerkyBoys your obviously not a pilot! Others lives are always first and foremost in a pilots mind and never there own. You think about the next time you fly and put your own life in someone else's hands...

[jetcat4445t]

@SuperJerkyBoys is a moron

[bubbaloc95124]

@SuperJerkyBoys fuck you

[SuperJerkyBoys]

@bubbaloc95124 Same to you and the horse you road in on !

[SuperJerkyBoys]

@bubbaloc95124 Same to you and the horse you road in on !

[ksearles85]

@CrystalSStorm Planes don't just .. fall from the sky when they run out of fuel. It would have been a failure with the rear elevators or something along those lines.

[yueqianxiong2]

He's just died right?

[ksearles85]

@yueqianxiong2 Yeah.

[shades188]

Outstanding RC ....just an outstanding looking plane...well done

[tuts40]

I hope someone here understands the (real) P-51's heritage. The airplane, the actual P-51 and not radio controlled models, was a part of our efforts back in the early 1940's to prevent your parents and you, if you woulda been born otherwise, from being enslaved by the Japanese and to destroy the Nazi's plan to continue murdering millions more innocent men, women and children. If you appreciate your freedom thank a vet. If you don't care, thank a vet for caring for you.

[microdon2]

Simply awesome.  This is THE most fantastic-sounding engine I've ever heard. And in a gorgeous plane. Nicely done.

[hankyhoyo]

Totally awesome flying . May this Ghost live on. RIP GALLOPING GHOST and Jimmy Leeward. Also the fans who lost their lives.

[fabianromano]

RIP Galloping Ghost..

[mreid08]

It's sad, we lost two veterans,, a pilot and his mustang:(

[SeawolfIV]

@apatheticempathy the pilot was (1) 74 years old, (2) a pro stunt pilot, and (3) only killed two others, the third death was him. And, he maneuvered the plane away from the stands, saving hundreds or thousands of people

[soulcalibur22]

RIP

[ThePixelChaos]

RIP for the real Galloping Ghost, she and her pilot will be missed. :/

[apatheticempathy]

This plane just CRASHED in Reno Nevada today.

Its totally destroyed and GONE ! <<<

It flew, dived HARD right into the stands and many people along with the pilot ARE dead !!!

[soulcalibur22]

@apatheticempathy k.... chill out

[apatheticempathy]

@soulcalibur22 the pilot was drunk and killed 32 people in the Reno Nevada stands !

[sablatnic]

@apatheticempathy

He lost an elevator trim tab and the control of the plane, and crashed.

[soulcalibur22]

@apatheticempathy wasnt drunk

[apatheticempathy]

@soulcalibur22

Im in Nevada and CNN and -ALL- the local news says the 8O year old spoiled rich guy pilot crashed an irraplaceable classic plane and was drunk.

Now he killed 32 people, ... hope you are happy you moron !

[soulcalibur22]

@apatheticempathy take a pill already u need to go out to a field and shoot yourself. your too frantic.

[apatheticempathy]

@soulcalibur22

How dare you ? ... Ya drunk basser

[soulcalibur22]

@apatheticempathy no actually pretty sober night night you crazy lunatic.

[pekrwud1]

I can't stand people who mis-represent and mis-lead their videos. The sound was dubbed in and this whole video is of a radio control plane. It's bullshit! No wonder it got airborn in 15 feet!

[machonedriver]

@pekrwud1 This is a "Real" model airplane and this is the real sound. Do a little research and you will probably come off sounding more intelligent....Google moki radial i fyou want to hear something COOL!

[machonedriver]

@pekrwud1 This is a "Real" model airplane and this is the real sound. Maybe do a little research before calling BS....Google "MOKI RADIAL" if you want to hear something COOL! Only $6000 or a 400cc unit

[PalmettoStateForever]

Tragic loss of both the plane and pilot today. :-(

[TheSwimracer]

Rip to jimmy who lost his life doing what he loved Friday september 16 2011 at the reno airraces. Jimmy was the pilot of this aircraft RIP

[TheSwimracer]

Rip to jimmy who lost his life doing what he loved Friday september 16 2011 at the reno airraces

[Lionforever1860]

LECK MICH FETT

JA BIN ICH GELÄHMT

;)mein grinsen solltet ihr sehen

Gruß Lion

[MFGKirchdorf]

@Lionforever1860

Das war vom Sound her das geilste Modell was ich je zu Ohren bekam. Die Abendstimmung mit den Wolken war ein fantastischer Hintergrund. Einfach traumhaft.

[Lionforever1860]

@MFGKirchdorf ich frage mich ob das zu toppen ist?

[DalsAirplanes]

I believe the last price tag i saw on the website was something retarded like 4000 EURO

[interstellardust1]

Wowsers! Awesome RC, great video. Thanks

[kasperholger]

engine price (IL200) is about 4000€

[TOPHAT1966GS]

@kasperholger about 5800 US dollars correct?

[kasperholger]

@TOPHAT1966GS

yep about 6000$

[aerocampvideos]

Where can I buy an engine like that?

The site is in German and I do not understand anything.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@aerocampvideos

You might contact Mr.Kolm himself via e-mail.

Sorry that I can't help you. I'm only the guy who made the video.

[coolgabsi]

U might just have pulled me back into rc planes... I moved to helis.. Lol but this is Amaaaaaaaaaaaazing!!! :)

[microdon2]

Now THAT is how an RC warbird engine should sound! Hell - that's how a REAL warbird's engine should sound!  Simply amazing.

[emilioatienza]

Magnífico "Cadillac del cielo", y magnífico pilotaje.

Enhorabuena.

Emilio Atienza (Granada, Spain)

[superstocktx]

I can't think of anything to say except...WOW!!! :)

[MFGKirchdorf]

@superstocktx

That's what I said too when I saw this plane for the first time.

[stangflyer60]

Unfreaking believeable. Yes, oh yes...I must have one of these for my Don Smith 1/4 Scale. The most amazing motor in RC to date. BAR NONE!!!!

[firemanbill1]

LOWER!! Faster!!!!

Awesome plane and Video!

[beansor2bacon]

DOOD not only does it sound amazing, but its fast as hell!!!

[MFGKirchdorf]

@beansor2bacon

oh yeah ... it's also fast (and furious) !!!

[kukikunyuk]

Wow... The best Video on You Tube..

But looks like you need more Right trust.. : )

[MFGKirchdorf]

@kukikunyuk

Thank you very much !!!

You are right ... it looks like it needs more right trust ...

BUT ... it was a heavy x-wind that evening and that made it looking like a wrong engine position.

Believe me. The setup is ok :)

[rktman56]

Great video and Awesome sounding engine...

[MFGKirchdorf]

@rktman56

thank you so much !

[bradleyban]

Are these engines available in North America?? What a cool engine!!! This would turn me to warbirds!

[MFGKirchdorf]

@bradleyban

I dont know if this engine will be available in your country. You should contact the manufacturer (link in the video description).

Greetings from Germany

[ernanimartins]

Amazing, such an ear porn!

[MFGKirchdorf]

@ernanimartins

oh yes. it is eargasm :)

[ottosfliegerseite]

Gratulation Horst, 25.000 Clicks, das ist schon mal ne Ansage nach 4 Wochen

Best Sound for ever

thx Horst

[mreid08]

This is the BEST vid, I love it and everyone I sent it to wants your,,,,,this plane including me.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@mreid08

Thank you Mike.

The plane is a modified stock Mustang P-51 and (I think) the only one on earth.

.

I you want one ... you will have a lot of work to do over the next winter :)

.

Greetings from Germany

Horst

[DEEGA3D]

I want to get one of these engines so bad

[MFGKirchdorf]

@DEEGA3D

No problem ... but it's a little bit too expensive for a 15 year old man :)

[ferrark1]

Awesome !

[MFGKirchdorf]

@ferrark1

YES it's a wondeful plane :)

[TheFlyinfreak]

That is an amazing sound, just amazing

[MFGKirchdorf]

@TheFlyinfreak

thx mate

[ottosfliegerseite]

Hallo Horst, ist bei den Tags noch Platz?

fastest RC Aircraft

Beste Grüße Otto

[MFGKirchdorf]

@ottosfliegerseite

Hallo Horst, die Besucher nähern sich mit schnellen Schritten den 20.000

Hi Otto, das geht ja fast so schnell wie Deine GHOST :)

[WarbirdFan66]

good god what a sound... more please :D

[MFGKirchdorf]

@WarbirdFan66

[TheIngo1978]

This is the BEST sound EVVVER...OMG awesome!!!!!!!!!!! I want that

[MFGKirchdorf]

@TheIngo1978

Thank You !!! You can buy the engine but the plane is handmade and not 4 sale :)

[MFKAlbatross]

OMG!!! awsome plans and flying, thumbs up to the camera man aswell!!

//Andreas

[MFGKirchdorf]

@MFKAlbatross

Thank you Andreas :)

[MrF1fanatic]

Are you serious. I didn't think an RC Plane could ever sound like that. Tell me that's not dubbed.

[MFGKirchdorf]

@MrF1fanatic

NO tricks at all. NO dubbing. NO audio or video effects used.

☆★☆ ALL WHAT YOU SEE AND HEAR . . . IT'S REAL ☆★☆

[MrF1fanatic]

@MFGKirchdorf That is so awesome. Looks like there is some serious torque in that machine. Was there a lot of crosswind on the landing or is that just the engine crabbing the plane?

[MFGKirchdorf]

@MrF1fanatic

The plane is overpowered like the original Galloping Ghost is.

There was a heavy x-wind as you might hear also during the flight. Perfect slip landing from Otto :)

[edmari440]

Bravo! To the Pilot and the Cameraman!
