Fantastic change to modernize an older model!! Thanks for speaking English glossary for me to understand, I realize it's not your primary language so thank you!! Steve

[@donlawrence1428]

Ingenious layout!

[@rubberfly]

Thank you! 😁

[@MarkRobinson555]

Excellent video, great to watch, thank you. Great catch at the end, really nice

[@kenkingsflyingmachines2382]

I have a plane and radio all ready to do this with, but I've been sitting on the project for about 3 years. Your experience is inspirational! Great job and thanks for posting.

[@rubberfly]

Thank you very much for the comment. The first recordings for this video were made 7 months ago. Sometimes it just takes time...

[@kennethpiller632]

Love your rudder control fitted to your free flight model. Beautiful countryside.

[@rubberfly]

Thank you!

[@brucekernick8900]

Lovely. Excellent vid, thanks.

[@rubberfly]

Thank you!

[@freeflight7750]

Thank you for sharing the video. The structure of the front end was helpful.

[@rubberfly]

Thank you😄

[@JamesJohnson-ij1go]

Should be able to get the weight down to around 6g - 8g extra with that radio.

Absolutely magic so peaceful ! Thankyou for sharing 😎

Wow, excellent!

[@rubberfly]

Thank you!

[@ZUSMANELEN]

SUPERB!!!😀 Very Cool video again! 😎 Rc system nicely fitted... Couldn't you build a "full" rc control system ( with elevator control I mean) instead of keeping the DT? 🤔🤓 I wish I had one just like this too! 🙄🤗 Great work anyway!!!😉

[@rubberfly]

Thank you! The reasons that I prefer the DT: One servo less, widely used in free flight, spectacular spot landings possible and the flight altitude is determined by the decreasing rubber force.

[@ianturpin9180]

If you go to the j&h aerospace site they have some rather good free flight folding propellers. I bought several for my RC conversions.

[@rubberfly]

Thank you for pointing this out. However, I like the big windmill propellers on this vintage one, even if the performance is a little worse.😃

[@jimbo2629]

Great stuff. I find undercarriages a pain. You could improve performance by leaving it off. Landings are safer with dt as there is no forward movement of the plane.

[@rubberfly]

Thank you for your comment. You are right but a launch with the wheels on the table or floor is always a special thrill....

[@paulbizard3493]

I suppose you already know this guy : www.youtube.com/@domoremath He is also on Hip Pocket Aeronautics under the name Flyguy.

[@rubberfly]

Yes, his channel motivated me to start this hobby years ago! He is also mentioned in the video description of this video.😄

[@funscalemodels9782]

Very nicely done, and the weight gain was minimal. Do you plan on modifying other FF models?

[@rubberfly]

Thank you! It is not planned, but I have already made this conversion as a learning process to perhaps equip a wakefield with a rudder. I can only fly large models like the Golden Eagle on very few days....

[@kchastain3]

Is the DT necessary now that it’s under operator control?

[@rubberfly]

No, I don't have to use the DT, but it's fun to try spot landings!

[@jimbo2629]

Landings are better with a dt. No forward movement to cause damage.
