Awesome blues!

Jam it skip

You rock

Rip it Skip !

New strings aren't that expensive....

Thank you, Skip! Very nice 😁👍

Great Skip.Love the tune. Keep 'noodlin'.

awesome! will have it on repeat in my head all day :) thumbs up bro!!!

Great rendition of Boston More than a feeling great band 🎶🎶🎶

Nice one!. I won't ever fly free flight anywhere near trees after loosing a model high up in a hoarse chestnut tree in the local park, it stayed up there for about six months totally recked it.

Beautiful flyer!

Ah, the subtleties and nuances of rubber powered free-flight abound. Firstly, there are much higher quality kits than this available. Dumas has been my source for quite some time, now. All of their kits (and there are many) are designed by the prolific designer Pat Tritle. This is high-quality traditional model building with laser cut technology. They are a joy to build.

wow that is a giant prop on a small plane

We appear to live in roughly the same geographical area and the weather has turned WINDY and WET. I love that little plane. You should absolutely take it to Muncie next summer!

010 there is extra mass at the tail; in the over-tall vert-stab and the huge elongated root.! d

looking good brother!

You fly a plane so cool🎉🎉🎉how long is your plane wingspan?

one of my favorite youtubers!

Thanks Skip! Very nice ✈✈

CG is 1/3 back on the average cord.

Skipstalforce, are you in Pennsylvania, possibly philly? I am guessing by your accent.

A really nice flying airplane.

That's amazing skip she was way up there and like the tree drawn on it

Good stuff, definitely a market for stick n' tissue! Especially in japan, Josh and Hope seem fairly successful these models are still quite desirable!

Awesome flights Skip. I think it's a great idea to sell kits too.

flyes very nice

Cool, Bro.+ Glad you got it back to fly another day. 🛩✈🪐

your an excellent builder! thumbs up again!

I feel your pain, but I see you got it back!

I don't know why I haven't gotten any notifications dam that sucks brother but she flew hi and far

Wow that's awesome brother got it back so cool and met a friend

😁👍

It would be nice to have a picture of the pole he made. I need somethings to help me sometimes

i had been wondering about the finch

Fantastic thanks!

"I wouldn't touch it with a 40 foot pole", went out the window when the gentleman saw that awesome plane stranded. Glad you have it back, and can make copies easier now.

Wow, 70 feet! I have a 40 foot ladder and 30 foot pole and still can't get things from 70 feet up because I can't safely go to the top of the ladder. Sometimes I can use a kite to dangle a hook on the end of a line, but it is tricky. Could lose a kite, too! By the way, you can estimate the height by pacing it off. Go across to the other side of the field, at least several hundred feet. Hold a stick at arms length, match the end of the stick with the airplane and your fingers at the ground. Tilt the stick horizontal and note two objects on the other side of the field, same distance as the tree. The tree is convenient. Pace off the distance between those objects.

love a happy ending to the story

I hope you can repair it.

My links have been deleted. Google search jackite and uline for telescoping poles. First is 31 feet, $100, second is 49 feet, $3,000.

Just couldn't resist the urge to perch herself in the tree, I like to think maybe some kid will find it and have some fun later....

Before a flight, you make a flight plan. That includes a weather forecast. Get the size of the field from the Google Map. Locate the most upwind point on the field and the downwind distance. Calculate the time to traverse from the windspeed. Keep in mind that your plane flies in a circle, know the diameter, subtract that from the distance. From the expected time of flight, you can figure whether the plane will leave the field. From the size of the field and wind speed you can determine whether it is a a one minute filed, two minute field, etc., and wind your motor accordingly. Given the variability of wind speed and direction, this is still risky. All bets are off if there is thermal activity. A strong thermal can turn a one minute flight into a ten minute flight. I generally don't fly if the wind makes the prop spin faster than it does on full turns.

Not necessarily a loss. You need to get a recovery pole. I have one with a ring in the tip through which I force a 2 1/2" length of 1/8" dowel, forming a T tip. It can be used to pull a branch to shake it or lift an airplane up and drop it through a hole or even carry it away from the tree. This one is right near the edge and not very deep in. You can't push very hard with this one, it is telescoping, friction fit and if you push too hard, it will collapse.

Good one Skips!

What ashame , all that work.

So sorry, Skip. I guess the old saying holds true. "Fatted meat don't shine forever". 😢😢

Ground control to Major Tom...Come in Major Tom... Dang, Skip. It was flying so well. Then it flew too high... At least you know the next windy time will blow it free. Hope you get there before some lucky kid.

oh noooooo!
