Long Epic Day of Flying Model Airplanes

Part 2. When the forecast is for 0-3 mph but the temps will be hot & humid in the mid 90s, free-flighters will still be there. This film documents 40 hours of camping & flying at Wawa between 9.4 - 9.6.23 at Wawayanda, NY, starting with a 4PM arrival, ending two days later and an 8AM departure. Through it all, the heat conditions were as tough as I'd ever flown, although the smiles remained because of the mild breeze. We never drank so much water or ate as much watermelon. The sunsets & sunrises gave us beautifully colorful & foggy skies, allowing the birds to be framed as never before. This is the second & final episode, showing the last 24 hours of camping & flying on the field. Part one showed us the sunset and sunrise flights that began the 3 days of flying. • Hot Day of Flying in W...

The first fuselage bay is sheeted. Down thrust is built in. A 7" Peck prop is used with a braided 30" loop of 3/16" rubber. Wing and stab start as 1/16" thick "ladder frames", and cap ribs are added. The wing ribs are all cut to the same curve and spar spacing as shown on plan. Rib length set by slicing off bottom. Rib caps extend over the TE.
LE 3/32" sq. TE 3/16" x 1/16". Spars are 1/16" sq, double in first inboard bay.

Many many thanks to all involved. This is lovely, and always will be.

[@Vladancz]

Such a day is the dream of every modeler..... Beauty!

[@jeffrenz6603]

Just love it when a model is repaired and brought back to life!

[@raymondo162]

good story dat, too

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

WOW! What more could you want?! NICE day, GOOD friends, SUPERB F/F planes, and GOOD air! A day made in F/F heaven! THANK YOU for sharing!!

[@jurassic3579]

This is pure poetry

[@nickbarsby3378]

The sense of achievement has never left me. To take a few bits of wood and paper and turn them into a machine that will climb and soar is such joy.

[@sylvainponchelet4188]

Hey like every time I am amazed at the performance, 2 A4 sheets of tissue paper, 20 grams of balsa (and I'm almost sure it's less) 1 elastic and you find yourself almost 50/70 meters from the ground for me it's almost magic in any case it has the capacity to amaze. Thank you, thanks to you I have a smile for the day

[@Colin399]

Blimey you guys sure know how to fly free flight❤

[@darrellsellers1853]

Could watch these every day. Thank you so much for sharing with us ❤️.

[@paulnelson5314]

Talk about rising out of the ashes, phoenix like.

[@XXfea]

Thanks again!!!!

[@williamrobinson7435]

A real tour de force! To comment properly on this one would have to take notes, so many fabulous and varied planes in this. Outstanding and wonderful display, all the way from the US of A! Thanks Tom and colleagues. ⭐⭐⭐👍

[@harrykeel8557]

No words....😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@alexmcmeekin2658]

I have to say, your videos of flying do actually bring a tear to my eye. At various stages of life we don't always get the opportunity to get out and make magic happen on the field, but we do all remember those occasional golden days. Your videos bring memories and reminiscences back in an instant! From childhood through to adulthood. Thank you for that and keep flying and filming!

[@jeffpiatt3879]

Always a pleasure to watch!

[@Lasercutplanes]

What a gorgeous video! Thanks for putting this together. John/Colorado Springs

[@bokusimondesu]

In awe 😊

[@kenkingsflyingmachines2382]

After this squall line moves through, I think the wind may drop below 20 mph and i might try flying. Thank you for reminding us how wonderful summer was!

[@monostripezebras]

"Wacko Taperwing" what a nice play on existing names

[@joshuawfinn]

Tom, you should come to the next Rocky Mountain Free Flight Championship! I'd love to see the footage you would get out there. Besides the spectacular scenery and negligible humidity, it's the only site in North America where a 5+ minute flight in windy weather will stay on the field. Lots of Kanones up for grabs too.

[@charlesg1150]

Epic indeed

[@michaelwhinnery164]

You old guys got some skills.

[@larryfisher7056]

Only 20 minutes....I watch if it was twice as long....beautiful flying.

[@sylvainponchelet4188]

yes it's like relaxing and soothing ASMR

[@HD-su9sq]

Those airplanes are so beautiful! You guys do an amazing job building, and fly them well. Thank you for links to the plans!

[@mjkluck]

Good stuff, Bubs. Great flying models and talented builders.

[@Graybear78]

Talk about the pure joy of flight, these guys have it!

[@michaelgillespie1206]

This is a good video, nice flyers! 😊 I've laid in a supply of balsa and other supplies, now I just need to get by the print shop and get some plans enlarged, thank you so much. Still looking forward to one of your how to videos on different ways to do rigging for flying wires.

[@4thArmoredVet]

A beautiful and peaceful video. So well done I hasd a tear at the end. 🙏

[@matevid1986]

Hi Tom, really nice video. Congrats, and thanks for all the kind advising you compiled here.

[@lfduran2]

excelente video.

[@michaelgillespie1206]

I believe I'll be ordering the plans for that Crossbow, there's a couple of yours I haven't ordered yet, but I've been meaning to. I'd like to see you offer the plans for that twin Mig that you did, that's especially nice, about 27 inches, it really is a nice model.

[@maxfliart]

Thx. The MiG was based on this plan by Lubomir Koutny. hallmanstudio.com/MiG_DIS_plan.pdf

[@CheshireTomcat68]

Just inspiring.

[@nhschreiner]

You guys are amazing

[@terinafoster-friend9458]

What an inspiration these models and films are!… are plans available for the Wacko Taper Wing by Kaitaris please? Thanks

[@maxfliart]

Thx. I think Peter has a general outline with placement of the ribs & cross pieces marked, but I don't believe a classic plan was finished. I could see if he would share that, then if so, I'll add a link above in the description.

[@maxfliart]

OK, the plan and a few notes from the designer are there. Have fun!

[@lanecobb4150]

10:38 How do you get the blast tube off the wound motor? 🤔 Answer…18:58 😊❤

[@mitjagger]

Lovely video, thanks for editing. Finally I'm taking progress on my flights, Bebelzuth was finished a couple of weeks a go and was one of my nicest moments on my aeromodeller live when I sow her flying free for 52 s. What a moment! Thanks again for your nice chanel. You are pure inspiration on my.

[@Helliconia54]

gorgeous plane, where do i find the plans?

[@maxfliart]

For which model? I've included links to a few in the film description.
