Building and Flying the Hollywood Hamilton for Rubber Powered Free Flight

The video reviews the building and flying of the Hollywood Hamilton, a model airplane kit available from Easy Built Models. The model was designed by the late Dave Stott, one of the founding fathers of the Flying Aces Club. This organization promotes the "old school" hobby of building and flying balsa and tissue model airplanes. This model has been a great flyer.

Thank you.

Currently my models don’t fly long enough or far enough to be at risk of getting lost😂, but I’m improving dramatically with your help🎉. Mr. Hallman’s as well, thank you gentlemen

[@paulnelson5314]

John always a pleasure to view your videos!😊 Nice build and flights. Quick question, do you have a method for removing the numbers and letters on the kit members, so they don’t show through the covering? Thanks for posting

Hi!: Looks like you're getting it dialed in! INTERESTING model!

[@Watchingthevideos99]

Yes, flying pretty good now. Managed a first with it at the local FAC contest.

Thanks for sharing. I need to get better making adjustable controls like thrust buttons. Will keep on working on it.

[@Watchingthevideos99]

You're welcome Darrell. Yea, the adjustable front ends can save a lot of pain during trimming. I do find it funny that it takes some effort to manufacture them, and then you really only use them for a short time while getting the model going. Still worth it.

That's lovely. Another cracking job done there John

[@Watchingthevideos99]
