Hangar Rat indoor rubber band powered model aircraft - Part II

So this is the long requested follow up to my original Hangar Rat video. Sorry it's not a build tutorial, still working on that, but here is a close up look at one of these amazing home made indoor rubber band powered balsa wood aircraft. Many thanks to Ian, the builder of this particular Hangar Rat, for sharing his enthusiasm for this amazing little plane.

When working in Australia back in the 80's, there was an older gentleman that was selling bunches of these kits at the Australian nationals. A real cross-section of flyers (FF, RC, CL, etc.) built one to fly at a local gym after the day's main events. It was an extremely popular and relaxing event! I was happy to max out a few times even though I had little indoor FF experience. Amazing how a little care in construction can improve your flights!

Many years ago I recall these were made of light weight balsa wood and light mylar, the rubber motor was available at hobby stores, so you would make own motor. One thing i learned just talking to these hobbyist who built them was that the propeller was also key in making the flight so slow. It was amazing just to watch and see how long the flights could last.

[@SuperKSongz]

WOW, unreal flight time, controlled flight, 'round an 'round, climbing, descending then a proper landing, amazing.

[@martinlagrange8821]

Thanks for the video - Hangar Rats are deliriously good fun - cheap to build, easy to trim,, delightful indoors and out ! Thank goodness for *Outerzone* hosting the plans for free.

[@DarcyWhyte]

When I was a child, Brian Wattie showed me how to make this airplane. My friend Bruce Sandborn (deceased) and I made them. We had a little contest, mine flew 56 seconds. I may have been about 10-12 years old. Amazing experience. I was hooked for life. I eventually designed my own rubber powered plane called the Squirrel.

[@GiantmanSystems]

Great story Darcy, thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

[@Mkel.]

Hiiii can you gift me your plan?? pleaseee i promise you i gonna make it

[@stepbystepscience]

Amazing, I once saw a high school student fly something similar for a science competition….it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen!

[@GiantmanSystems]

Yes they are amazing little aircraft! Thanks for watching.

[@priyamarora2977]

GiantmanSystems can u please explain how to make it step by step

[@vanessavlogs3185]

May you please explain how to make it? Pleaseeee

[@jackjuhasz533]

Wow ! That's the best flight I have ever seen in 72 years ! Good for you !

[@GiantmanSystems]

Thanks for watching, appreciate the kinds words :)

[@kohaku0006]

It took off and stayed in the air way beyond my expectations, wow

[@lazarusmarvelousangel1078]

Wow this is amazing!!! i really like this project..

[@Orcrist123]

That is bloody brilliant!

[@venugopals9680]

awesome . very simple but great job.

[@williamrobinson7435]

Nice film! Thanks for posting.

[@danstout2338]

Majestic. I've done RC glow, sailplanes, and electric micro. All rewarding but nothing compares to building your own rubber band plane and that moment you pass the one minute mark in flight.

[@Saiteja-vw6fj]

It's an awesome thaught . Thank you Ian& Team.

[@GiantmanSystems]

Thanks for watching : )

[@user-hb8be5wb4q]

Well, well, well! None of us kids learned how to wind an rubber band like that when we were young. Great flight and great video, thanks for sharing. Oh, came back to sub and give a high five.

[@manufakcture870]

Так грациозно летает. Чудо какое-то)

[@TONYStark-xf4is]

amazing man,, keep it up bro

[@MrCrossbiker]

Amazing flight !

[@FreeFlightDigest]

Awesome video!

[@nuassul]

This is awesome !!!

[@clayballard4334]

Wow. Just found the instructions, a little advanced for me. Although a video tutorial would be great! I hope to make one, thanks.

[@luna52758]

Where have you found the instructions for this model?

[@GiantmanSystems]

If you look closely at the the vertical stabilizer you will notice a "rudder" which is fixed to turn the plane gently to the right. Thanks for watching!

[@muhammadalinasir1854]

I have build 80 present copy like that hanger rat , but I didn't find the rubber band😩 but still trying with small combine rubber band . thanks for the design close up 😇

[@yurenchen5226]

that's amazing, the greatest youtube video i ever seen

[@soumitradasboxii9042]

[@karolinep.1877]

What materials did you use for the wing specifically ? I'm building a rubber-band propeller airplane for a project.

[@dailyvillagefishing638]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing

[@rawux1228]

What kind of rubber band is that. Its very soft or hard rubber. Wondering because it flies quite long. Tried to make something like that and used simple rubber band. I ended with rubber band untwisting like in 5 seconds.

[@agispuntik]

Very nice long time flying rubber band plane. Good job

[@jellystrains2039]

That flys for so long Great job 👍

[@GiantmanSystems]

Thank you sir :)

[@MaHa-rh2pf]

wonderful,great idea

[@A1n3dr5e1234567890]

What a great camera man. Of course, great flight as well !

[@GiantmanSystems]

Many thanks : )

[@beneditoromano6238]

O lo

[@GiantmanSystems]

They are amazing little aircraft, thanks for checking out the video and commenting, appreciate it : )

[@kelvinkelvin3712]

pode me passar as medidas?

[@prithviraj_sharma]

It's landing is superb

[@hpapline]

awesome and spectacular

[@jerrianderson264]

Congratulations, this is the movie about the rat hangar most beautiful ever seen. clearly shows the operation of the model and its flight, soft and majestic. I was really amazed with the flight. this movie encouraged me to build a hangar rat to me. I just wonder if I can use as a winder electric Instead of a manual Thanks - Jerri Aderson - Brazil

[@rishabhlohia7387]

It's fab buddy 👍.

[@nickk0073]

This is awesome

[@user-bn6bi6rk1b]

It's great! What a miracle

[@dilipkori1038]

Very very nice good work grat

[@manikndn8]

Wow.. It looks pleasant :-D

[@ronbishop1068]

some machines are just beautiful…this is one of them. Thanks for posting

[@lccmartins]

So good.

[@apocalypticbean]

is it better to have thinner or thicker rubber band?

[@scramjet7466]

when it took off on its own it was like can anything be more beautiful

[@GiantmanSystems]

It's amazing to see! Thanks for commenting :)

[@messaoudikarim2951]

That's what i'm talking about old man Just wondefull

[@kavithasuresh3543]

Please tell me the principles of the plane for a self takeoff

[@RoJaBGames]

Hi GiantmanSystems, I have a question. I am thinking about buying an hpi rc car. Butbi dont know which one to choose. Im looking for an fast electropowered car. Doesnt matter if its a truck, truggy or buggy. Sorry for bad english. Im from Holland.

[@brianamato1078]

nice. how many turns do you typically pack into it? Thanks

[@beakittelscherz5419]

SO COOL !

[@Flamedestyer]

So graceful I wanna cry

[@GiantmanSystems]

Me too :'(

[@NotNibrasakhi]

where do you get The rubber band?

[@mikeshutts1969]

Thanks for the great video. How many windings do you give the rubber motor?

[@vuthap99]

Wow ! flying well, I'll follow you.

[@sagusoft]

Muy bueno felicitaciones , hermosos tus videos....Quiero empezar hacer uno, Me puedes mandar planos o medidas desde ya gracias

[@GiantmanSystems]

A very good all round RC is the Trophy Truggy Flux. It's not the fastest but it's fast enough and has good traction and can run on many different types of terrain. If you want something more for bashing then look at the Thunder Tiger MT4 G3 which is great value for money, if you can find one. I just got the Apache C1 Flux and really like it too, great scale looks. It's probably not going to be a great basher but still a lot of fun.

[@pravinr693]

Awesome..Really Nice.!!!

[@GiantmanSystems]

Cheers : )

[@servantofgod8222]

GiantmanSystems amazing!thank you good sir!

[@bigblackchungus336]

Ik this is very late but how did you get the plane to fly I built one but whenever I throw it it just sinks down even with a prop

[@eliorhp]

es hermoso! gracias por compartirlo, intentare hacerlo!

[@GiantmanSystems]

Muchas gracias : )

[@NaturalTV]

awesome, its good plane

[@pushpanjalibehary976]

Really good

[@mialmagama]

Esta buenisimo tratare de hacer para mis hijos y salir a jugar toda una tarde saludos de chile buen invento y exelente video .dedito para arriva todo el rato 👍😁👍👍👍👍

[@poonsakbuttasen8607]

ดูกี่ครั้งก็มีความสุข ขอบคุณครับ

[@user-ut7cj8do6k]

На уроке труда детей учить авиамоделированию - красота!

[@joewoodchuck3824]

Very nice build and flight. I wonder if he has experimented with other propeller pitch angles and diameters. I must look for plans on the web.

[@xijinping9576]

How can I do this? If you don't mind, I would also like to try it for a project and recreational uses

[@vanhelsing7938]

What kind of rubber is used to rotate the propellers ?

[@abbasgameing6747]

so nyc....and amazing...whats its hole weight and how many truns given to rubber,

[@Sinkey101]

Is it absolutely necessary to use the special rubber? I use normal rubber bands strung together, but can only get flight times of a few seconds or so :(

[@ataaydogan1423]

very good balance, very good plane

[@amjedbelamri7869]

it's so cool dude how did you do it

[@ricardoalves5092]

Expetacular parabéns.

[@neimad781971]

skilled fine hand work rubber band

[@coxy123bnp]

majestic

[@kennethwang7045]

How do you make it go in circles? Do you add weights to one side or make ailerons?

[@frankfranklyn2562]

+AxeGames I was wondering the very same thing; knew it would be a simple answer WHEN I knew the answer. Thanks !

[@ricardoalves5092]

Muito show, parabéns.

[@khalidameen6638]

Sir what should be perfect angel of propeller pitch 40 degree 45 or 50,,,

[@cecenistan8951]

Wow it's very beatiful

[@laurencatalano4903]

hi can you please tell me where i can get the paddle propellor please i need help i cannot find it anywhere

[@cassanovapiningit7877]

that's what i called flying gracefully

[@brianamato1078]

Just wonderful. You know what grieves me tho.....look at the guys in that gym. ALL old retired guys like me. NO young guys. I fear, when we're gone...this is gone. No screen to stare at. No button called "re-set" if you crash. Gone.

[@lukecalls8279]

Beautiful

[@FredG_R]

Bravo, trés bel avion ,un vol parfait dans les nuages.... fred

[@GiantmanSystems]

Many thanks Fred ; )

[@ca985]

tnks for sharin marvelous .-where can i fin some imnstructioto make one ???tnks for reading

[@sudhansunayak6367]

design is a genius level

[@GiantmanSystems]

Happy that you enjoyed it Jerri! I have seen people use electric winders but for some of the serious guys winding by hand is the preferred method. Thanks for watching!

[@khalidameen6638]

I love this model so so so much sir,,,,and I want to make my self,,i will make sir 100%,

[@wasicong]

Wonderful.

[@Edukasianak434]

Wow,,,,,verry nice,,,,

[@roiferreach100]

Amazing

[@upcomingindia8198]

Wow amazing which type of rubber band it used in the plane

[@randomstufff6996]

Wow. Just wow

[@petejulie1000]

Beautiful!!. I tried to build the Comet rubber powered kits of the 1940s and never got more han 10 seconds flt time. You have me beat by miles. I love to fly the old timers. They float so nice,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Peter Berard

[@GiantmanSystems]

Cheers, thanks for watching : )

[@iqbalsingh7999]

Wow amazing! plz tell me from where one can buy this rubber band?

[@islamoninternet7567]

Very nice

[@rajeshkundu2797]

where did u get such long rubber band?

[@RoJaBGames]

I found Some hpi rc cars. But which one is better? I found: the throphy buggy rtr, the rtr apache flux sc and the rtr apache s1 flux

[@EduardoRodriguez-ok1ru]

I´am making something similar, can you tell me where did you get a rubber band that long?

[@tomview1]

www.faimodelsupply.com/?product_cat=tan-super-sport-rubber

[@harleyjune1233]

ok - i have to ask . - are these planes trimmed to turn right always to fly in circle?

[@zacnewtro9952]

Yeah, you can see there's a rudder in the tail.

[@profeduardo25]

Excellent....!!

[@GiantmanSystems]

Thank you!

[@l8ur1e]

Absolutely magical.

[@GiantmanSystems]

Agree!

[@michael_klein52]
