1937 Long Cabin & 10cc Brown Jr (Herb Wahl) Spark Ignition Engine - Beautiful flight on a windy day!

The 78" wingspan Long cabin was originally designed in 1937 by Robert Long. This lovely model was built and flown by Andy Brough at the SAM 35 Retro Fest, June 2024, at BMFA Buckminster, UK. The model is powered by a Herb Wahl Reproduction of the Bill Brown Jr. 1930's .601 spark ignition engine, made circa 1977 by Herb's Model Motors, Forksville, Pennsylvania, USA.

I have flown in SAM competition in Australia alongside these sparkies and the noise was incredible! I have seen the OS strp on type muffler used successfully but most people choose not to bother. Sorry to sound negative, however I enjoy the models.

1937...so originally it would have been freeflight?

[@MarkRobinson555]

Yes

[@paulnightingale8052]

Don't mention the fact that most clubs lost their field due to the loud noise from these things. Where's the muffler?

[@MarkRobinson555]

These lovely old engines on the whole did't have mufflers. This was flown at BMFA Buckminster where issues of noise is much more relaxed. Certainly there are many clubs around the UK where you could not fly it. Its great that we still fly these where we can
