RC Model with a big rubber band motor. This model is designed to climb a few hundred feet and then soar like a glider after the propeller folds. Radio controls the rudder and elevator, the model is built from balsa wood and covered in tissue paper.

That rate-of-climb left me flabbergasted, amazed! So did the number of turns that the rubber motor was able to withstand

@jimbo2629 6 лет назад

Electric drill and no blast tube! Brave man. Great video. Great flight.

@smorrismlbco 14 лет назад

It's my own design built from balsa, tissue, brass tubing and music wire. It took about 1 week to build. Thanks, Steve

@carwashvnvmc 14 лет назад

This is the first time I've seen this form of RC flying! Thankx for sharing with us, Mark

One of the coolest model airplane videos I have seen. I am sold on rubber power. But I am happy just letting it go, and letting the wind direct it.

@f4udhorn 5 лет назад

If you want to see REALLY amazing rubber powered scale model airplanes, just type in to You Tube: maxfiart. He has one 2 minute scale airplane that has an onboard camera for the flight!

@captainjayc9217 4 года назад

I have no idea why someone would down-vote this video. This shows an option (RC controlled rubber band plane) that few know existing. It should be great in a small park close to residential area where people may not like the noise (any noise) from a powered plane. I like options.

@jasona9393 9 лет назад

Utterly, utterly brilliant. SO impressed by how much flight time you get after the rubber power runs out.

@johnroberts3723 10 месяцев назад

Brilliant!, I've done radio control in the past always loved the simplicity of rubber powered models and would love to have the knowledge of how to get the best out of them.

@nevillecreativitymentor 6 лет назад

In this age and time seeing a rubber powered model fly so beautifully (albeit RC controlled) ... the love dedication and care ... just to wind it up is enough for a big hug ... CHEERS and happy flying

@theneesons5858 5 лет назад

That acceleration on the first throw was awesome went right out of sight almost

@stevenaball333 15 лет назад

Must be an amazing feeling when it leaves your hand then takes to the air at that speed!! Great job!!!

@rharvs41 12 лет назад

nice - i've always been a fan of using radio assist to give these 'pure' models a new lease of life and make them a bit more user freindly. who wants to walk 1/2 mile only to find it up a tree? you can also fly safely nearer a road, and are not so restricted to waiting for extremely light winds.

@craigpennington1251 6 лет назад

Very unique and very cool also. Who would've thought that it was possible. And --no gas, noise, plus you can catch your plane like a foot ball. Amazing.

@captainjayc9217 4 года назад

Lovely. It has no noise; like a sail boat. And you can recover it easily.

@flashted 6 лет назад

Brilliant low weight power source, now all you need is a Frsky Taranis, and a vario. Perfect mixture of old school, and new school tech

@ib422000 13 лет назад

You, Sir, are a great aeromodeller!

@TheCanine2 14 лет назад

That has to be the coolest flying model airplane I've seen in my life! It's got some serious speed at take off.

@wavewash 14 лет назад

Oh man that thing just CLIMBED!!!! Wow!

@smorrismlbco 15 лет назад

GWS 4 channel receiver, 2 Cirrus 5.7 gram servos, a single 90 mah li-po battery powers everything. The pushrods are thin carbon rods with bent wire fittings glued on the ends. The radio installation is less than 1 ounce.

@alvinfry 14 лет назад

Wow just awesome. I designed these as a kid and always wanted full radio control onboard.

@Nebulon5000 7 лет назад

Funny how people downvote an honest, non clickbait video. Its exactly what the title says, and it was a successful flight. Go watch mojo if you wanted something stupid like you

@nevillecreativitymentor 6 лет назад

incredibly I did not even realize there would be people giving this video a T'down ...only when i started to read the comments did i realize that this weird fact. Even then i thought it would be maybe one or two NOT 108 .... LOL ...what a sad lot I guess they have no clue of what REAL aeromodelling is all about ...must be typical "drone-pilots" LOL ... i have come across a few bozo's like that ... they remind of "flat-earthers" LOL LOL

@gertnood 6 лет назад

Great video! Nicely done. The down thumbs are from people hoping it would crash or explode.

@pankajjaiswal6498 6 лет назад

I m more intrigued by exactly what they expected to see !

@humphrey7079 5 лет назад

Probably people who just don't like things because they can't do them themselves

@smorrismlbco 13 лет назад

All model airplanes are very good at teaching the basics of aeronautics. I've been building model airplanes for 45 years and I'm an aeronautical engineer. This model returns to the start point because it is radio controlled. Most rubber band models are not radio controlled and will drift with the wind instead.

@markod1977 4 года назад

Fantastic design!

@dreadnaught3894 6 лет назад

Brilliant - environmentalists must of course factor in the power used to store the energy but still an admirable and enjoyable demo of simple and effective technology. Love it!

@KevinSaundersPaperAirplaneGuru 11 лет назад

Great flying... I want one!

@maryamahmadpoor739 5 лет назад

@bizzee1 12 лет назад

Great job! it took about 1min to wind; 20 seconds for the power to run out with a total flight time of about 1.5 min. That is a pretty favorable ratio of "charge time" to "flight time" when considering that electric airplanes typically have a charge time of 4x longer than their flight time.

@molinobeer 6 лет назад

bizzee1 the winder is electric eheh

@f4udhorn 5 лет назад

Not to mention the expense of electrics that it would take to power this big airplane.

@earthling1984 2 года назад

Very cool. Have to say though, he threw that plane right at people lol...

@SVSky 15 лет назад

Pretty cool, combining RC and rubber power.

@Scharpy1 4 года назад

Loved it! Thanks for posting.

@smorrismlbco 15 лет назад

I installed a new wing and now I get 2.5 minutes in dead air. I've had thermal flights over 15 minutes long with the plane nearly out of sight (almost 1000' high) and barely able to dive out of the lift. Steve

@wearemany73 6 лет назад

smorrismlbco I used to fly my West-Wings, Orion on a slope. When I needed to lose height without over speeding the model I used to fly it inverted, it used to fly soooo badly (with the tip dihedral) inverted that it became my go to method for loosing altitude.😁

@ch.muhammadashiq2787 4 года назад

Make one from cardboard please

@TheRealCreepinogie 6 лет назад

Geeze, that sure beats any of the old Gellows rubber band planes I've ever made.

@BigRedNZ1 13 лет назад

no school like the old school, that has got to be much cheaper than the electric options for getting up

@smorrismlbco 15 лет назад

The model uses 32 strands of 1/4" rubber and I don't count the winds, just wind until it feels right. Steve

@nevillecreativitymentor 6 лет назад

noice ..."Wind it up till it feels right" only someone with 45 years of model time can make such a statement... I was expecting an aeronautical engineer to throw some insane formulas at us and zap us with some mind numbing explanation and then you go and say "i feeeeel good!" CHEERS

@karendavis6838 4 года назад

32 strands of 1/4 inch! Can't wind my head around that much power. Wow. Yes, pun intended.

@pankajjaiswal6498 6 лет назад

Great video , and true to the hobby. Very well done.

@archivist17 6 лет назад

Funnily en.ough, I've been musing on exactly this sort of arrangement myself, but wasn't sure how efficient the rubber would be in gaining the altitude before the glide phase. Impressive. And fun

@busterpiggle 14 лет назад

Wow! Impressive!

@wn6904k 10 лет назад

The body on the model is crazy strong to hold that much force from the rubberband. Great video, thanks

@GhostofHarewood 7 лет назад

totally, also must be trimmed like crazy for the initial launch

@dochollowood5763 5 лет назад

thumbs up simply for a fuselage that can sustain that wound pressure.

@Yosemite-George-61 14 лет назад

Pushing the envelope ! Great work. Maybe a geared prop next ?

@ezmosolar 14 лет назад

Nice combination of freeflyer and rc. I have been thinking of saving my P30 to get lost by this kind of solution, but still too heavy to put rc stuff on 50g plane

@dphotos007 15 лет назад

Very creative

@Goldsmithexile1960 10 лет назад

very beautiful, thanks for posting!

@smorrismlbco 14 лет назад

I built the prop by taking a 1/8 sheet of balsa, carving an airfoil section along it, and then wet the wood and attach to a special form that sets the pitch. I heat this in an oven to dry it (low heat for 15 minutes). I then add reinforcements to the blade and cover with 3/4 fiberglass cloth and epoxy. For your model a carved balsa prop covered in tissue to reinforce it should be fine.

@Wardhogje 14 лет назад

Nice!, there is a kind of plastic that you can use for your cover, if you heat is it shrinks so you get a nice fit. Well done!

@Claydog42 There are servos used to move the rudder and elevator. These are controlled by radio.

@keithd5181 6 лет назад

Great stuff!

@gingerssuck 11 лет назад

but dont get me wrong this is really cool. with the right conditions you chould be able to keep this up as long as the reciever pack lasts, and it would probably carry a hell of a pack too

@LICKYDICKYDOO 15 лет назад
