I blew up a set of Peanut plans of a Gee Bee Y and made it RC.as a kid I loved my free flights and was lucky enough to have a gentleman from our club who used to build the most amazing free flights for me.he would of loved this.R.I.P Jimmy.
Someone clue me in, how do the scale sizes go? Is peanut larger than pistachio? Where does walnut fit in? What are the other scale sizes called? What are the various scales wingspans?
😊 salut je voulais savoir si il y avait des personnes qui on fait volé des avions ✈️ en polystyrène merci. Car faut d'avoir du balsa je n'ai que le polystyrène pour fabriquer des avions merci d'avance. Aussi je suis le seul sur mon île à pratiquer cette passion , super sympa la vidéo bravo 😊😊. C'est l'île de la Réunion dans l'océan indien merci de me répondre.
The first and only stick and tissue plane I ever built was a Gypsy Moth peanut. Big mistake. If you want to build a biplane as your first plane, don't make it a peanut. And if you want to build a peanut as your first plane, don't build a biplane. It was a mess that never flew. LOL PS How can I find a group like this in my area?
Guillow's has been making them since the 1920's or 1930's I believe. There are others in the game. Have several Guillow kits I'm working on. What's cool about it? If you know the fundamentals you can build one from scratch. Your own unique design. What's funny about this video is the age of the people involved. Still kids but they have finally had the time and patience to build one.
Not just any balsa - very light balsa. The lightest tissue you can get your hands on, typically Japanese tissue. A good wood glue (I used to use titebond) but thinned out considerably. Weight is your enemy. A really good peanut is very light and flies quite slow. If it can fly that way, you can use a rubber motor that can take more winds, and thus it'll fly longer. The yellow plant that starts at about 2:31 has these qualities. As the motor runs down, look how lightly it touches down!
