I Flew the Me-163 with a Real Rocket… One Crashed, One Survived!

The Durafly Me-163 Komet isn’t just another RC warbird — it’s a scale tribute to one of the most daring aircraft of WWII. The full-scale Messerschmitt Me-163 was the only operational rocket-powered fighter in history, capable of speeds over 600 mph using dangerous liquid-fueled engines. Durafly’s RC version captures that legacy in stunning detail — and they took it a step further by allowing you to strap on a real rocket motor to recreate the Komet’s legendary performance. In this video, we launched not one but two successful rocket-powered flights at the field. 🚀 One flight had the rocket ignite on takeoff, blasting the Me-163 down the runway with incredible acceleration. 🚀 The second flight featured a midair rocket burn, triggered after liftoff — giving it a powerful punch of realism and pure RC adrenaline! This model runs on 3s or 4s by default, but the addition of real rockets makes it one of the most thrilling and unique scale warbird experiences you can have in the hobby. Interested in the Airplane?
