@@FlyingControlLineStunt don't need much room for control lines as well. Have to get back in to it again. They really look better to especially the old stuff.
@josephmarciano4761 we didn't have many kits in Australia back then. We used to build planes at an old Korean mustang pilots house. Guy was a genius, he would draw up plans for anything you wanted to build. Excellent draftsman, taught us how to build anything but he loved old timer free flight. We used to run for miles to find those planes. He was messed up from the war , we used to hear him having nightmares when we went there early in the morning. Of course the Australian government traitors didn't give a shit .
Che meraviglia vedere un super classico del volo vincolato, mito di quando eravamo ragazzi e vedere una bellissuma pista in asfalto. Da noi non ne esistono piu'
Beautiful! Reminds me of College days, MVMAC and Bill Melton, Jim Young, and the Alberson brothers in Las Cruces, NM, USA. They tried like hell to teach me to fly stunt. They deigned the "Road Runner" loosely based on the Nobler,. Although I had the Nobler, I was a lousy builder and it never did fly right...
Great to watch, after 4o years I’m getting back to CL flying. Your video is very motivating! Going to get my legs back on the venerable profile Ringmaster then build my last all time favorite (I was 16) the Nobler. This time though, they will all be from scratch. Looking forward to the smell of dope in the air again.
I miss the smell of the castor oil burning. Years ago I put some Maxima castor in my weed eater to go down memory lane. I think I just might do that again
Beautiful flying! I loved this plane when I was a kid! First on an 0.49 skyray, then the ringmaster, and finally the Nobler! A friend of my dads actually scratch built a larger size nobler for a os max 46 or a super tiger 60. I still have the plane!
Thank you for the compliment. I also love Noblers. You should find a club near you that flies control line and get your plane in the air again. Watch stunt hanger video hangouts on the stunt hanger RU-vid channel Monday and Friday evenings at 6:45 p.m. Pacific standard Time.
I built 2-noblers as a kid the first one came to a horrible end when the up. Line wore out the bellcrank and detached.The carnage undescribabble.I then built a Bob Palmer design Thunderbird.A great model too all using Fox 35 a really sweet choice on 60 ft lines.
My father and I built many model airplanes when I was a kid. We would sit in the basement and apply coats of DOPE on the papered wings. Maybe the smell of DOPE made it so wonderful...
You was so fortunate to have a dad to spend the time with you to build airplanes. Beside the smell of dope was the good smell of glues and epoxy. Consider getting back into control line flying it still is fun. Thanks for your comment.
As a kid I could never get more then a few successful flights out of a U control. Usually wrecked them. Couldn't get past getting dizzy. You were really grooving there.
It might be difficult to find a narrow enough clunk tank to fit. Building from scratch you could widen the fuselage sides spacing to accommodate a clunk tank possibly. Because I used a super tiger 46 I had to custom make a 5 and 1/4 oz fuel tank to fit in that narrow compartment.
What engine brand/displacement are you using ? Also what size / length lines are you using ? I really love how the engine sounds - rich - and not fast, and the lap time for this setup seems perfect .. Share some details when you can - thank you.
The engine at this time was a Super Tigre 46. I will have to find my flight log to answer the line length and other details. But this was a good engine run. I will in the future provide more details in the description portion of the video. Thank you for watching the video I hope you liked and subscribed to my videos.
Yes the wind was shifting and I had to move around a little bit. The gentleman taking the video for me didn't move but it turn out alright. Thanks for watching and commenting. I have seen your name on Stunt Hangar before.
Mine was an aries ... but I never got good enough that the idea of a smoking hole in the ground didn't give me nightmares but I built and flew many other kits when I was in the navy back in the sixties .. while my best work hung in a safe place ..!
Why still using the old way of a sort of "regular" pitch prop and that to get a slow flight then get the engine to run rich on the verge of four-stroking ? I know this is how it's been done for decades but back in the days there were not much low pitch props around and engines were more noisy - but now you can get any pitch and blade with you want. Also one can get a better muffler. OK I get it that anyway most fliers probably converted to electric at least for F3B or fun flying, but anyway has anyone tried lower pitch prop with the engine in it's more "natural" RPM-s ?
Thank you Statek63 for watching and commenting. Remember this Nobler was designed in 1950's and is considered a "Classic" stunt ship. It is designed around the low power engines that was available back then. The Fox 35 engine was the engine of choice in those days using a 10" x 6" prop. I still like the old classic 4-2-4 engine run you described in your comment. The beauty of the 4-2-4 engine break was to give you the maximum power you need during the maneuvers not during level flight. The low pitch props are used in engines like OS 40VF and others which use carbon fiber tuned pipes and I believe the prop pitch was in the 4" range and the rpm's were much higher and the engine run was more of a constant engine run through out the complete flight. The tuned pipe setup is in use with more competitive control line stunt models.
A pilot must narrow his focus to the airplane and only view the airplane. If a pilot looks at the trees and the blades of grass and everything else it will cause dizziness. Great question by the way. Mr Weiss please come and watch Stunt Hanger Video Hangouts every Monday and Friday night I host the show starting at 6:45 pm PST. The show is on the Stunthangar RU-vid channel .
Très beau gieske Nobler...' Vol agréable figures armoneusesi mais 45° trop haut et figures trop grandes Attention aux bases à plat ......!! Mais bon le vent était bien present et tournant . Bravo
The fanny pack is a great way to carry extra stuff. I keep my stop watch, glow ignitors, allen wrench to adjust my control line handle, colored sharpies to make marks on my adjustable leadout positions, different size length line clips to make adjustments for neutral for my handle just to mention a few.
Thanks for your support. I have to wear cargo shorts to carry my wallet, cell phone, and tachometer. The fanny pack is a big help to carry the additional stuff I already mentioned.
