I share two more of my Rubber Powered Free Flight Model Airplanes, discuss some history of Free Flight and show some of the field support equipment...

I totally agree, it is an art form.

Very interesting to see those details. It's hard to imagine the function of a lot of those mechanisms from drawings alone. Cheers.

Thank you

Very creative hobby. Free flight models have personally.

I must build aGollywok for the mini vintage class in uk. No undercarriage is a big plus. I use tomy timers. They are only 6 grams. I’m not good at making prop blades and have used the pre sawn commercial ones.

[@chilly7261]

Not an issue as long as you do the hinge work as far as I know. My Gollywock prop is a machined prop...

Stick&tissue airplanes climbing into the sky ........... and they're fun to build . No DT's ! If I loose one it's a great memory.

Thank you so much for that demonstration video I just finished the cabin model the Jabberwock and was wondering if yo knew how much rubber and size I would need for sufficient power for it Thank you Herb Kuttner Newberry Florida Not much free flight up here in North Florida Thanks again

[@chilly7261]

I believe the Jabberwock takes the same motor as the Gollywock. I run 16 strands of 1/8" rubber, 30" long in mine...

God, this guy has had the full charisma bypass

[@chilly7261]

No loud fast talking or a falsely overdone presentation or bashing and destroying expensive RTR models. Just good solid info of a dying art being shared in detail. This is second hand gold which is as good as new gold, right? And you bother to comment? Go watch a channel that's geared towards knuckleheads that want/ need instant gratification...

[@pete-davis-photography]

@@chilly7261 I was wrong about the single bypass. He has had the full triple bypass, humour, charisma and irony. I bet he votes for Donald Trump too.

[@chilly7261]

@@pete-davis-photography Irony? Got that removed too huh? You're brilliant. You don't even know what it means. i ro ny- noun the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect I see nobody is watching your videos. I'd rather watch grass grow or paint dry. Great voice over btw. Thrilling, must watch content! Lol My channel is way above your intelligence level...
