The model, the workmanship (and in the "peanut" class) are a masterpiece! The An-2 is (or was) the largest mass-produced single-engine biplane in the world. For a long time, it also held the title of the world's longest-produced aircraft (currently, this record is held by the Lockheed C-130 Hercules) It was actually produced by two countries: the USSR and... Poland (under license... probably even more than in the USSR

Danke Peter. Es würde mich riesig freuen, wenn deine neue Morane D-3800 und meine An-2 am Frühlingstreffen von 'gummimotor.ch' sich den Luftraum erobern könnten.

Hello rubberfly. Your rubber powered models are the best flyers I've ever seen, and they are pretty, they're scale models!!!!. Many thanks for posting it. Greetings from Perú.

[@downwindchecklist6567]

Beautiful little model! I think I might want to make one, but I am nowhere near your perfection and detail! It would be good if you could get a picture of this one with the real thing. Even if only one-engined, the AN-2s are really huge up close. Danke!

[@rubberfly]

Great idea, thanks. I hope to see the original from the 'Antonov Verein Schweiz' this summer.

[@xpelekis]

Great job, beautiful flight pattern. Thumbs up ! Nice overall video also.

[@korale174]

Well done. great build. I've had that on my to-build list for some time. also good job on the video editing.

[@robertrussellmd]

We're you able to vacuform the canopy in one piece? I note the undercut side glazing. You have done a beautiful job.

[@rubberfly]

Thank you. At 2:27 you can see the cuts in the bottom row of glazing. This row had to be bent inward. Making the canopy was probably the biggest challenge with the model.

[@profProsky]

Pres,Pres,Pres Bruning! Very nice workmanship too Sir! Flies faster than I expected. Good for windy days. Hey what's the all up weight if I you don't mind sharing? Thanks for the inspiration!

[@rubberfly]

Thank you. Yes, the flight speed is not very scale. My first biplane is just a bit heavy: the flying weight with rubber is 13.5 grams, almost 0.5 oz...

[@profProsky]

@@rubberfly 13.5gms is not too bad, as long as you have enough rubber in the plane. (3-4 grams). What is the sq. area of the wing? Around 34 sq. inches? Sounds like you could even add a bit more rubber, to 15 grams all up weight. I have gotten away with an all up weight of 0.5 grams / sq. inch of wing area. Just a thought. It is flying well. Hope you don't loose it!

[@qiangqiangpan2362]

Very very nice.

[@rubberfly]

Thank you !

[@mickaelgrondin6202]

C'est le 974 dans l'océan indien. C'est magnifique et magique à la fois. Moi je débute dans le modelisme mais sur l'île où je suis on n'a pas des élastique faire vole mes avion. Je n'ai que des élastique

2:59 No translation needed! Every modeler knows what he said.

[@kenkingsflyingmachines2382]

What a great model! And you are so obviously thrilled. I like your stick pin idea. Are those dowels for edge joining boards? Ausgezeichnet!

[@rubberfly]

Yes, these are 8mm dowels. 6x1mm neodymium magnets are glued to the bottom. The toothpick can be moved thanks to the washi tape.

[@pareloader5989]

I would love to build one. Where do I get the plans? Great video!

[@rubberfly]

Thank you! The plan is on the flying aces site : flyingacesclub.com/PLANS/Bruning/antonov_an2.pdf

[@DoyleBlevins]

good flyer

[@rubberfly]

Thank you!

[@chrismofer]

interesting way the prop is constructed, mounted oby a stick on it's trailing edge rather than the leading edge. why is this?

[@rubberfly]

This is so in Pres Bruning's plan. One reason could be that the center of gravity moves a little forward.
