[SuperMillerman10]

is there anywhere i can pick one of these up???

[scottieh83]

well Dave, bank and yank only on this one!!! lol

[Acornoa]

phillips? everyone knows robertson is the easiest

[1ramus1]

Amazing NSU Wankel Rotary Engine, good job.

[CBMXX]

excellent, thanks for sharing

[EnterpriseXI]

hi Dave. i got a problem with the monicoat on my Alpha 40 trainer. on the wings, the monacoat is pealing off at the egiss. what can i do?

[SoCalsandman780]

Absolutely fantastic! I was already thinking that was what I was going to say in the comments before I heard you utter those very words at the end of the video. Looks like we're on the same page! That was just absolutely awesome to watch! Nice job sir! Here's to Mr. Donavan as well!

[Tinytacohead]

Great video as always. :-) When you picture the internals of a Wankel it's a bit misleading though, since you don't specify that you've actually shown the innards of a full-size rotary, (rather than the mighty O.S). As a real RX-7 owner & avid RC'er, I had to do a double-take, haha.

[bladecppro26]

true craftsmanship and amazing little engine, i am an auto technician and have built a cupped rotary Mazda engines and really love the mechanical genius about the engines, never knew that miniature ones exist wow! love all you videos and builds and you have once again showed me something that i didnt know 10 min ago thank you for you time effort and devotion that goes in to this.

[timothyrbates79]

awesome.. your videos and builds always intrigues me ;)

[SnottyAust]

Really enjoyed that, thanks

[YupHio]

i always get holes in my covering from trying to screw down those darn hinges... D:<

[frogsoda]

Your channel should declared a National Treasure, Dave. So much info should be preserved in perpetuity.

[castacat1]

That is a fantastic wing dave.

Love your videos. As a novice, i am learning so much from you, and enjoy the different outings you go on- keep the videos coming.

Many thanks.

[ancjr]

4:38 - Hey wait a minute... The O.S. Wankel doesn't have coolant passages! :)

[beverke7]

awesome job on the build and flying Dave, she looks and sounds great !

[Trainboy64]

I remember when OS first released the Wankel!. Great vid..

[EnterpriseXI]

very well done Dave. I always thought building a plane from scratch would be a nightmare but just trying it and think positive, maby not to hard

[dingo7222]

Hmmm. Type an AP paper or watch Nightflyyer's new video.......

[chiosex]

That engine is a thing of great beauty! Great video, loved it.

[cloakedp]

Thanks Dave, loving watching these build video of all the old aircraft. Learn so much and about the techniques and just the way you go about it. Helped me repair many an Aircraft.

[blackmagic085]

I love those Wankel motors, always wanted one. Thanks again, Dave, for doing another wonderful video. BTW, these are the types I like to see you do. Keep up the nice work.

[tw8e60]

Hello Mr. Dave,

Great video!!!

I've been flying electric.

And as I was watching this video, I'm wondering.

What would be, in your personal opinion, the benefit of gas engine over electric.

Thanks.

[valtarys]

Always great to see what you've been up to. Thank you for another great video! :-)

[highhelix]

Hi Dave! What do you use for an after run oil in this engine, anything special?

Thanks, great video!!

[mrfourtysevenman]

ya, ultrakote i find to work better than monokote. its low maintenence.

[customeddie71]

Awesome video! I love flying wings! I have built two, one 1/2a wing from scratch and one is a gremlin combat wing from RA Cores. There are contests here in NH and I have yet to enter (I will soon), but my friend and I combat and it's a blast! The gremlin is uncannily similar to your wing except for the fancy hatch. Thanks again for a great video.

[llib90630]

imo no electric motor can compete with i /c engine otherwise we'd have electric airliners

[sp5201]

Amazing craft, amazing and unique engine. Congrats

[MALITHA8]

Man. you are awesome.

[TheWingflyer]

Cool engine. How does it fly so well with the CG forward the wing?

[demonbreed131]

I love the Wankel rotary engine, but i had never seen one that small before,

nice work and nice plane

[MRoesterreicher1]

Wankel Engines are very impressive.

Thanks that you gave me some expierience with these engines! Great Video!

[spektrum33]

I hade a plane similar to this about 23 years ago called a wing thing and was powerd by a now old os max 25 ,that stil workes well to day .

Love that engine {"_*}

[Raptor50aus]

Hobby King reciever FAIL 

[Omnicron4735]

Wankel rotary engine.. doesn't that sound... RUDE.. hey hey nudge nudge wink wink! Don't understand?

Watch:

[catfishmudflap]

Another great video NightFlyyer. I always enjoy watching you fly your models. You are the King of the Sky!

[scooterking85]

Landing gear made it that much cooler:)

[raykiii]

WOW! Nice build and sweet flight. It look incredible fast. I can't imagine 2 in the air dog fighting. When does Jeff finish his? Very impressive. Thanks for posting it!

[EhnTeePee]

That's a sweet flyer ya got there buddy.

Planes with 'Elevevons' are not for us beginners are they?

Atleast, not at the level of vehicle you built?

I love the wankel and feel like although it is used like you said, you just don't here much about them anymore.

Cheers.

[NightFlyyer]

@EhnTeePee Thanks very much. Elevon planes fly pretty similar. It just take more getting used to looking at it and knowing where you are when flying a wing. Wankels are great but pretty pricey. $699 Retail, but Tower hobbies sells them new for $450. That is probably a factor but in a Twin warbird, they fit under the cowls nicely.

[AJNism]

@NightFlyyer Another great video Please Keep them coming

[Sowerbylads]

One word, impressive!

Thanks for sharing.

[NightFlyyer]

@Sowerbylads  Your very kind. Thank you.

[jasongiddensviper478]

I cant wait till October 28 I get to fly a real plane. YES!

[Hewey19]

Great engine. Never seen one of those before.

[penpen77]

Piston rotatif, c'est la classe ^_^

[SlyDawg951]

Did you clock the speed? To see how Fast your model was ????

[shockflyyer3d]

wow nice engine, and plane too

[1BustedMyth]

Mate!, you put a really big smile on my face!, thats one SWEET little machine.

I fell in love with these engines when I bought a Mazda RX2 and fully restored it.

Interestingly they are perfect for running on Hydrogen.

One of the most unique engines ever made

Thanks for the video, I was 20 years younger for about 9 minutes, you made me want to get out into the shed and build something, all the best buddy, Chris

[NightFlyyer]

@1BustedMyth Thanks so very kindly. Your comments put a smile on my face too. I appreciate it. Now get out in the shop and get building something.

[modernart86]

Dave... You are the man!!! Always love you videos xD! And never heard of a rotary for RC O_o. That's very interesting. 

[NightFlyyer]

@modernart86 Thanks very kindly. I appreciate your comments.

[TheBrushlessracer]

Trust a little hextronic servo with a plane like that!?!?!!?

[NightFlyyer]

@TheBrushlessracer It's only the throttle servo and works fine. I needed something very small and it fit the bill.

[poppopscarvinshop]

Awesome!

Thanks Dave!

[dopeybear420]

nice dave great flight

[SkyShinn]

Neat, Dave!

[ramis182]

great and awesome video mr. herbert, i wish i was a nitro guy, but im all electric, lol, maybe someday ill learn, but none the less, youre videos are great!

[NightFlyyer]

@ramis182 Thanks very kindly. They both fly the same, so it is not that far out of reach. Take care and happy flying.

[upinyawife]

hey night @ 2:57 the slotted flat heads are stupid i wish they were allen or torx but with the flat head i either wrap a small strip of rag around the screw /driver or i take two rags and spray glued them and then cut to the middle of them and then cut an opening so the horn is partially covered it works let me know if you try it

[NightFlyyer]

@upinyawife Good tip. I will try that next time.

[taofledermaus]

Cool video!  I always loved the building process of the hobby, turning a box of wood pieces into something that flies- a flying model. Many of us scoffed when the first ARF planes hit the market. I have an NSU Princ microcar, but it still has the 2 cylinder 600cc motor in it. "Neckarsulm" is what NSU is short for. Go figure, silly Germans!

[NightFlyyer]

@taofledermaus Thanks for the great comments. I appreciate it and you long time support. Now I know what NSU stands for. Great.

[FAZER00432]

Great video i love watching you do what you do. I Also use Ultra cote for my planes. it lasts long and is very durable.

[NightFlyyer]

@FAZER00432 Thanks very kindly for your comments. I appreciate it. I surely like the Ultracoat over the Monocote for sure too now that I tried it.

[nibbler125]

Id love to get a wankle but they are a little to rich for my blood. Maby a second hand one

[nishbrown]

Hee hee hee. Wankel.

Funny name is funny.

Sounds like a teeny, tiny John Deere. ;-)

Wicked fast flyin'!

Can't wait for more.

[NightFlyyer]

@nishbrown Yes, the inventor, Felix Wankel...Lots of German in there you know. Thanks. Stay tuned.

[stickwalker]

Wow, great job. Now I remember why I never got into flying RC planes.....

[NightFlyyer]

@stickwalker Yeah!  Why?

[stickwalker]

@NightFlyyer I never had the patience or know how to build one. I did have a plastic model once but couldn't get the engine to run. Years later I found out about needing a battery to make the glow plug heat up.

Now I'm to old to start trying to building one.

It's fun to watch guys like you build and fly them. I really enjoy seeing your videos.

[beastly239]

is the song lady gaga?....

[NightFlyyer]

@beastly239 Yeah, Did I play it okay?

[beastly239]

@NightFlyyer Haha yeah 

[mannexx111]

Now that looked like it required some real hand eye coordination to keep from smashing it. I would have been to scared to fly it too fasst for my level.......

[NightFlyyer]

@mannexx111 Thanks kindly. It takes lots of practice, but at my age, my eyes are not so good anymore either, so learn while you can still see.

[mannexx111]

@NightFlyyer Your in great shape for your age Dave. I lost my left eye in 99 so I don't think its possible for me to get to your level. Dont get me wrong I'm still a happy flier There is just no way I can track the really fast stuff. Sport trainers,are my thing and still sometimes I lose orientation I just fly at an altitude that allows me to figure it out usually before I hit the earth. To me you come across as a sage in your vids and lord knows that's a good thing. keep it up thanx..........

[NightFlyyer]

@mannexx111 Sorry about your eye. I totally appreciate your comments and thank you for them. All the best. ~NightFlyyer~

[dansterwerecool]

i need to find an os fs 90 engine for my plane ,so hard i need a needle valve and a muffler. :(

[flyingchimp99]

It looks like to fuselage of the plane is made with drainage gutters.....my old flight instructor brought a combat plane just like yours, the plane had a body as a drainage gutter. The differences is he pout in a OS 2 stroke 35 and also his wings were hand made with some funky plastic thing i never saw before. Also, he told me a few weeks ago when i was building my twist 40, to not buy large servos for throttle because it is so easy to move. You did that too.....haha, the way things happen eh ?

[NightFlyyer]

@flyingchimp99 Yep it is. Darn strong too. LOL. Things happen almost like the Celestine Prophecy book. Thanks.

[PcandTech]

just like the mazda rx-8

[NightFlyyer]

@PcandTech Just about except with more rotors for sure. The RX 8 is a very fast and smooth machine I know.

[zomgz932]

rotarys are awesome engines i have one in my car. you should see if you can do porting to your OS engine. cuz if you can do a bridgeport and holy crap wouldent be suprised if you got 3-5 HP at 20K the only problem i can see is the idle look up  brideport on youtube and youll see what i mean.

[RcUniverseGuy]

that headcam is such a great idea for filming rc flight! your the man dave!

[NightFlyyer]

@RcUniverseGuy Thanks so very kindly. I appreciate your comments.

[beech18s]

Looks and flys a little like your Simitar 450. How would you compare them ? It looked like it was keeping old Dad busy in the air. LOL. Tom

[NightFlyyer]

@beech18s Hey Tom. Yep it flies like my Simitar, so I felt comfortable. It was the first flight you know, so I was busy sorting out trim, etc, but I like to be busy in the air.....it's exciting.

[anariaq]

beautiful engine, never understood why it never got going. Anyways, nice flight

[NightFlyyer]

@anariaq Thanks. Yep, I think the gas mileage may not be too good on the real ones, but not sure.

[Mainyard48]

Nice job! Any trouble getting the CG balanced out?

The streamers almost looked like old VHS tape.

[NightFlyyer]

@Mainyard48 I paid attention to layout and it came out pretty close, so I am happy. Yep, I use lots of "WaterGate Tape" for streamers. LOL. Thanks for your comments.

[mrcoolman68]

wow that looks nice wish I could have built one

[DistructiveRC]

Thats a beautiful engine in there!

[NightFlyyer]

@DistructiveRC Thank you. I sure like it too.

[NightFlyyer]

@DistructiveRC Thanks very much.

[Omhra]

That is awesome.. esoteric little machine.. Great motor..

thanks.

[NightFlyyer]

@Omhra Glad you liked. Thanks for your comments.

[TWolfKaden]

Sweet build!

Lol @ the first BG music.

[NightFlyyer]

@TWolfKaden Thanks very kindly. I appreciate that.

[joehandsome99]

Great stuff Dave.

Thumbs Up ~ Eric

[NightFlyyer]

@joehandsome99 Thank you sir....Now off to fly in the Black Forest....
