96" Big Guff 1930's - Cocklebarrow Vintage Plane Rally, England - August 2023 

Thanks!

Thanks, will do!

Excellent, pleased you liked it

Hi there, thank you for the very kind comment, so pleased you like my channel and the vintage stuff, there's lots more to come. I will be posting a longer video from the recent Cocklebarrow rally in a few days, showing lots more of the planes, both on the ground and flying. I am also hoping to be back there for the next one, which I believe is the 24 September, but only if the weather is ok as its a 5-6 hr journey for me. Hope to see you there. Thanks again.

Excellent, you wont be disappointed

If you do build it Ted please check that the plan view of the fuselage is square. I had to dismantle two fuselages before I realised the fault. In the end I simply drew a long and a short line at right angles on the back of the plan and worked off that.

Thanks Cliff, pleased you enjoyed it, we were lucky with the weather, although a tad windy!

Thank you David, it was great to meet you and see that wonderful plane, which flew lovely, a real joy to watch and sounded amazing with that Laser engine.

Thanks Terry, it is an amazing flier, you should build one! Thanks for the heads up on the video I will check it out

The Guff was a six foot wingspan proof of concept free-flight model. The Big Guff was, as far as I am aware, the first model aeroplane to be designed specifically for radio control.

Hi David. Thanks for the heads up on the plan. And yes not only the first RC model but I believe they built the radio gear as well. Real pioneering stuff.

Yes, absolutely, just love these vintage models
