Great aero modelling.. I like the behavioural manifestations in people which flow from all types of indoor flight. I have seen particularly amusing microfilm covered slo fly meets, with people running very slowly.. I mean, running, but as slow as possible.. What's THAT all about? All part of the fun.. 👍🕊️
So much time and effort and patience and skill... And so little MASS! Some quite amazing aeromodelling there - and whoever would have thought a WW2 4-engined heavy bomber would make such a good indoor free-flight subject! Fantastic. Thanks for the upload, I really enjoyed it. :-)
beautiful models. your bird dog should do great with some tuning. I'm building a little 'walnut scale' kit from Dumas and this video's very inspiring :)
To be fair, it's not necessarily the aerodynamic form of the plane alone and more "they tried to slap a faster engine on something not built for it and forgot to tell everyone that it flies different"
@@tuppyglossop222 Hello, Mr. Glossop. I wonder if you would be kind enough to point me at a tutorial that explains the rudiments of building one of these. Especially emphasizing how to make the rubber bands work for so long. Thank you for your attention.
What strikes me since i haven't flown rubber band planes since i was 9 or 10 is, KIDS at any AGE! LOL, looks like lots of fun and i say the kids comment with respect, good to see guys that didn't loose the kid in their hearts. :)
I was a kid when I last participated in FF scale - are they including electric free flight now or is it still rubber and Co2? What's the story on that gobsmacking Lancaster? How is she powered and how are such long flights accomplished?
Mostly older men, reliving their young enthusiasms. The fun of experimentation, of failure and success, of design and planning, of craftsmanship, etc., is fading. Aeromodelling as a hobby seems to be dying out
Jorge Picabea , they are mostly very small motors and drive a propshaft indirect with a gear. they run on a single lipo cell and are controlled by a tiny timer/controller with starting delay and a power curve to control a fine start, flight pattern and finally slow down for landing. you can find them for instance on ; samsmodels.com/
These are rubber power? How do you get the rubber bands to spin this long? my experience with rubber is that it completely spins down in about 5 seconds, or so.
Yeah...... that's a secret off course...... honestly, when you look at the first still after the intro, you can see that we use a very long rubberband. When we wind it up, the rubber gets shorter and shorter because it spirals up in multiple layers. So you have to move slowly towards the model and the whole strand is pulled inside the fuselage. It can be wound up sometimes to more than a thousand turns, that's why the rubber motor can spin such a long time.....
@@WinnieNordStage Ah. I see. Is there a tutorial that you can recommend? I build card models myself. Strictly for display. But, it might be nice to make something that actually flies.
@@diverdownaaron See if there is an indoor club somewhere in your area and go to a meet just to watch. You'll learn so much and watch out you don't get hooked.
Not my cup of tea, however I certainly did enjoy watching this facet of the hobby! Nicely balanced music as well! Thank you so much for sharing this with us all!
Great, but stopped watching because of STUPID MUSIC! Let’s hear the ambient noise of propellers and people for goodness sake. Background music is rarely necessary and always annoying! #endrant
Hello cokeandtwirl, i am sorry you stopped watching my video, i understand what you mean and i made a second version for you and maybe others without the background music. I hope you can enjoy the video now ;-) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VrD6KfPLzho.html
