Old Timers RC Airplane Fun Fly - 9 Oct 10

Gathering of "old timer" airplanes that were originally designed and built in the 30s and 40s for model airplane free flight. Later adapted for radio control flying.

Beautiful, beautiful planes....

Very nostalgic ... brings back memories of the 1937 Old Reliable I built decades ago, covered in clear yellow monocoat and powered with an O.S. Max .19r/c. Great flyer and great memories. Started my r/c career as a young teen, with a single channel tone tube transmitter (Citizenship CTX) and super-regen RX with Bonner R.E. Vari-Comp escapement (rubber band power to actuate the rudder). I've seen so much in near 60 years of modeling ... Cheers.

Hi Nelson, I like these old timers, spend weeks or even months to build them, then fly them. This is the hobby, thank you.

[@samuelwragg8615]

Completely agree. Today generation is plug and play.

You don't have to be an old timer to enjoy old timers. They'll fly on any kind of power, electric, 2-stroke, 4-stroke, diesel, it doesn't seem to matter! And they're so pretty. They are super easy to fly and, with the help of an instructor, (always), make excellent trainers. Learn to fly with class!

5:30 - that's gnarly turn of speed for a vintage model!!

[@ProChoiceJesus]

Goldberg Sailplane...arguably the most beautiful model ever made. I have my late dad's hanging in the garage. It's a free flight version, but I'd like to do an R/C convert & fly it someday.

[@neleabels]

Beautiful old models! Thanks for the video.

[@TheTomvaliente]

That would be a good project. Get the kit and spend the winter building it, then you can fly it when the weather gets warmer.

Great vid mate love the old timers in progress of building my first 1 simplex 45 by bmjr , but looking at these I'm thinking of getting a larger model all ready

[@user-kq7bg8uk9n]

at 39 seconds what is the yellow plane in front by the man with red shirt ? any info would be awesome as i was just given the exact same plane

[@aeromodelisme45]

Super ! tout ces modèles vintage...

[@J3Flyah]

@cashrc Thanks for the message! You bet we'll be doing the Old Timers again next year. Once a month we gather to fly them, but get shutdown once winter arrives. We'd more than welcome you folks from Texas! Please get in touch for more information and message exchange.

Great video and lots of nice planes. But I did not see one old ignition engine in the bunch. I fly a Playboy Sr. with a Super Cyclone or an Anderson Spitfire on gasoline and an spark. I also fly a scaled down Lanzo Bomber with an Ohlsson 23. Four strokes are nice though and I have converted my OS 60 FS open rocker to ignition. I made a breaker plate and used Harley Sportster points. Runs like a Swiss watch on Coleman stove fuel and Walmart synthetic 2 stroke oil at 16 to 1. I am planning Quaker for it.

Thank you Mr. Carpenter. Happy New Year.

[@radiocontrolegliders782]

[@cashrc]

Where are ya'll located? I might be able to pull off a little road trip..

[@TheZpilot55]

Hi What Old timer size wingspan could match to an OS FS 30?. Thanks.

[@J3Flyah]

Hi Jose, If it were up to me, I'd use the 30 size motor on an old timer with a wingspan of 60" to no more than 72 inches. I've flown 45 size (four cycle) on 80 inch wingspans. Hope this helps.

[@TheSamchilders]
