Bruces "No Cal" profile rubber powered free flight P-39 Airacobra 

Wow! As a kid who briefly played with wind up airplanes, never in my wildest imagination would I have believed one could fly so long and so well. I guess that is the difference between building it, and perfecting it. Well done Bruce. Your plane building skills blew my mind.

What amazes me is how well this gentleman has calibrated his windings and his turn radius to fit exactly in the space he has to fly!!

Salute to bruce❤❤❤ what a lovely flight!!!

Hard to believe that many turns in the rubber band didn’t collapse that fragile fuselage, Incredible flyer!

So after a few free flight videos know what my last hobby will be. This video and gent with his plane was so wonderful to watch. Thank you.

I love how gracefully these indoor planes fly. A real pleasure and very soothing to watch.

Как красиво летит! Я зашёл посмотреть как плавно он летит, это прекрасно

Wow, very thin plane yet super strong to handle the rubber winding

Beautiful craft.

Simply fantastic!

I remember making and flying these in middle school! Had the best science teacher ever!

WOW dat gave me a smile. can't believe how long it flew at altitude before coming down

Excellent model well flown. I consider myself outclassed

BZ Bruce, I was wishing that it would roll out at the end. such baLance and deftness of touch thank you for your skill and patience. Navy veteran in suffolk Englandxx

Amazing, greetings from Russia and thank for these video

Certainly more elegant than the 50cc monsters we fly in our club. I love that our hobby has such variety. Lovely plane Bruce!

That was beautiful. I mean that in every way. Well done Sir.

That was a beautiful flight.

I'm in love with this. Only if i was a kid again. I'd have been all over this

That is truly amazing. What an incredible hobby

That bird flies better than some high dollar rc planes...

Kudos to the cameraman as well. 👍

Beautiful model and an amazing flight. Thank you.

Now that was a nice flight! what an amazing model, so graceful :)

That is. So sick.

Thats incredible. So smooth

Dude I need one of those that is the coolest thing I've ever seen

What a terrific flyer this is!

Beautifully done.

Bravo.perfect. thenks .go ahead

Bruce rocks! That was truly awesome 😎

When it flew silhouetted against the windows , you would swear it was a real Spitfire outside .

I want to get started in this

If my mine could only fly like that!

Brilliant.👏👏👏👏👏

what a great flight

Great video!

Very good. Love it!

I Really enjoyed this ☺️ thanks heaps 👍

Oustanding!

A few days ago me and my brother were talking about how in the 60s you could buy these balsa wood gliders. I think 15 cents got you a basic glider 20 cents got you a rubber band prop, and 29 cents added landing gears. Personally, I liked the little guys on parachutes and I only wish plastic garbage bags had existed then to make replacement parachutes.

Great design and build. I would make the building attempts, but few people have such a place to fly the result. I don't think kits are still available.

That was awesome 👍

Wonderful flight, model and pilot! I've watched the video several times but I can not see how the winding works. There is this strong wire clamped to the table that has a hook and is attached to the rubber. But is the prop hook also still attached to the rubber? If so, it must be fiddly to get the model of the strong hook if fully wound up.

No cal is actually derived from the origin of the type being Northern California...

Amazing. Any tips for a beginner? My planes just dive straight into the ground..or fly erraticallyup down like yoyo (and then dive into ground) and flights last about 3 seconds no matter what trimmings i try..or maybe recommend a book i can read to improve?

Very cool

Wow! Can you post a link to the plans for that?

Fantastic that ! Proper modelling (:+}

I’ve seen two real P-39s fly that little rubber powered one was more fun .

How pure is this?!

Belíssimo 👏👏👏👏👏

I forgot these existed woah cool

How heavy is the plane?

Airacobra* 3 a's in the name.

Maybe attach a drill

😂👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯👏👏👏👏👏💥💥💥💥💥

Pretty neat toys but pretty boring to go all out on as a "hobby" like that. Then again any excuse to sit around the pub after I guess.
