Thx, Glenn. I'm glad you enjoy them. I was so very pleased that the Spartan came around. Downthrust, nose weight, and another 1/8" shim of up elevator (1/4" total) brought her into the zone.

Lovely, as always. Inspiring. Missed it by 2 days and maybe 2+ miles. Met John H. at W. Flying Club, though. Super nice guy. He thinks free-flyers are a bit... crazy. "Odd ducks", I think he said. "Once you let go of the plane, you have no control over it!" Sounds about right. Hope to see some free- flights in person in the future.

Very sweet flyers ! I love the "shark larking around the victim" flight of the first model. I love the second flight of the biplane and the slow motion of "carrier take of" feeling from the table. Definition of Achievement is what comes in my mind after watching your creations to fly (as also an urge to build that VMC Bird Dog myself...)

The landing of the NB-3 was superb! Your Nicholas beazley, martinsyde, and taubman are three of my favorites that you’ve built. Perhaps I should add that each time you build any new airplane I say it’s my favorite. I’m curious, what dope do you use, or what do you use in place of dope that makes the tissue handle the wet or frosty grass so well?
@maxfliart3 жыл бұрын
Thx Jeff. I've enjoyed these models too. I haven't used dope in over 30 years. Instead, I use Krylon clear or matte. Just a dusting is all it takes. But unlike when using dope, the tissue will still wrinkle when there's moisture in the air. The benefit however is that Krylon prevents the tissue from over shrinking when it's tight. So it helps to avoid warps when the sun is beating down...which is most important if you build using light 4-6lb balsa.

What a difference in the Martinsyde! I'm impressed that you had the insight to go from undercambered to flat bottom on the bottom wing. Always loved this plane - so far ahead of its time👍
@maxfliart3 жыл бұрын
Thx. I felt the stability immediately upon releasing the first few times. However, each of the previous two versions that I built, 21" & 13" had a similar instability issue with the vertical stab. These flights were solid, but others were on the edge, either sliding left or spiraling to the right. But when she soars, it's so satisfying. I hope to show the 12 trim flights from the 3+ hour trim session in the morning.

I love your videos. They're all such a joy to watch. This is all new to me. Is flying near tall grass to prevent damage when they land? Do they always mention windings in the instructions, or is it a matter of trial and error? I am starting with the Guillows Javelin and then I will try the VMC Pilot. Thanks!
@maxfliart3 жыл бұрын
Thx for the feedback. Glad ur enjoying the channel. Yes, we always hope for tall grass at the field, as u will quickly find how hard cut grass and turf can be on a model. Repairs are always needed, but the tall grass minimizes the frequency. Kits give u a conservative, general idea of how many winds a model will take. We try to cram as much rubber in as possible, usually 3X in length of the prop hook to the rear peg. This way we can pack in the winds, which leads to duration. Check out Easy Built & Volare in the listing above. They have tutorials on building & flying. Good luck, have fun!

Sure. This is the Brooklyn Skyscrapers home field, and they have directions noted here. www.brooklynskyscrapers.org/directions.html It's a sod farm surrounded with numerous other crops. We typically fly over the sod, which is another 3/4 mile in on the dirt road, at the cross roads. If the weather is calm, you'll typically find flyers there. I'm over 100 miles away, so I only fly when I see a forecast with a few good days in a row, and can camp out.

Greetings, Another in a long line of beautiful videos, Just stunning videography. Don’t know if you can really call that an ROG takeoff, though. More of a Carrier takeoff than a Ground takeoff. (ROC?) I didn’t care for the title. I can’t imagine you building a pig. Let’s be careful out there.

@maxfliart3 жыл бұрын
Golden Hour refers to the last couple of hours in the day, when the sun is low in the sky, creating a golden color. It's often the time when the wind fades away, so if you have both, it's truly magical, and a great time to fly.
