Soaring Thermal Flight By Fairchild 24 - Model Airplane

[@maestrimq]

Great job! Shame on the person dislike your videos..

[@polygonalmasonary]

They are green with envy 🤢

[@donaldvincent]

Fantastic! Even my 11 you old daughter has lately become addicted to these videos I watch. We'll see if she has the patients to build one with me.

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

For a minute there it looked like you were going to have to drive Waywaywayonda to find it, lol! Nice!

[@willgraves5288]

Wow! From your hand to the heavens and back! Glad you added the DT.

[@HilmarLange]

I especially like those special features like the dethermalizer. Thanks for sharing the article you wrote. Now please build a de-tree-izer... I shortly stopped breathing at the landing scene, where you can't see if it's behind, in front of, or right above those trees!

When I was about 9 or 10 I managed to get a paper dart to go up in a thermal and fly across the school yard for maybe a minute or so, way more than the normal few seconds flight duration. The thrill of a Free Flight model aircraft arising in a thermal has never left me and I have built all types of model aircraft since, but the purity of Free Flight remains. My record for the longest descent after DT remains at a full 9 minutes for an F1C class power duration model in a BIG Australian thermal and in Free Flight terms they are heavy models at 750 grams plus.

I love this little planes❤ Beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏

[@glenncarter2126]

Great model and flight 👍

[@walk4718]

Serendipity is so sweet! Great music for such a majestic flight

[@paulhansen7667]

Amazing! I'm glad you didn't lose her.

[@engleharddinglefester4285]

That was a great and nerve-wracking flight. Congratulations on getting it back!

[@pcaridad]

Beautiful... And thrilling. Txs. 👍

[@kaillou2004]

Indeed :) thanks again for the direction

[@ejasburyiii9287]

1st your videos are awesome, I have built free flight, u control and RC all old school, these videos inspire me to get back to my roots. Thank You

[@triskellian]

Terrific flight! It looked as if it was going to land in the trees but it was only an optical illusion.(wheeew!) Beautiful Fairchild model too.

[@rickhall4318]

I think I heard your dad laughing and whooping on that ride! What a tribute!

[@terryblackman6217]

Simply magic.

[@kuul8955]

Beautiful👌

[@1freedlander]

Thank you! Glad the dethermalizer worked!

[@bjornjohansson4911]

Love Mr Hallman. I envy your beatuiful field.

[@timmoffat3182]

All I can say is WOW

[@janogomo9899]

Hermoso modelo y muy buen vuelo!!! Felicitaciones!!

[@davidquerry8869]

HA HA, Spread your wings baby. I so enjoy your videos.

[@hyoklee3297]

Glad you got it back!

[@micregil]

That was fantastic.

[@martinkupka3575]

Simply beautiful. De-thermalizer seems to release just in time. As always, thanks for information about rubber and prop.

[@franciscosolian178]

Amazing flight !!!

[@bobgreen3116]

Wow. What a ride. Just like in life sometimes you get off with a lousy start, but then with the help from God we can finish well. Great flight.

[@maxfliart]

Thx, Bob. I think I launched her right into the back end of the thermal, since the moving air suddenly hit the mic on my camera. She arched back, did a pirouette, gathered herself then went on her way!!

[@bobgreen3116]

@@maxfliart she really took off. A flight like that is so enjoyable to watch. I can't imagine seeing that first hand like you did. I want to that you for your videos. They like you are world class.

[@davidduganne5939]

Thanks for posting the plan Tom. That's really a beauty!

[@harrykeel8557]

Awesome!

[@sylvainponchelet646]

fabulous !!!

[@cjyates07]

Great plane and video.

[@robertm8401]

Astounding altitude for this one! I was thinking she would land behind the trees and make recovery difficult.

[@miguelsuarez8010]

Wow I thought tou were losing it. It happened to me once. After that I used a dt, a piece of wick, haha. Ooohh those old hobby magazines, they bring childhood memories, drawing the plans to size.

[@exptodd]

A camera inside for a cockpit view would be really cool.

[@michaelwhinnery164]

Wow !!! She would have been in orbit by now if the DT didn't kick on Had to watch it twice...

[@maxfliart]

Indeed, Michael. She has a weak wire DT of sorts, so it may have happened a minute sooner. It was hard to tell as she road that thermal. Apparently was just enough to break her free. Love this bird.

[@michaelwhinnery164]

@@maxfliart I can see why... I would not have chosen that color in a million years.... But it looks really good on that model.

[@maxfliart]

@@michaelwhinnery164 Orange is easier to spot in the corn or beans too, which surrounds this sod farm.

[@Strada62]

Wow!

[@N-Scale]

WOW !!!

[@Tadrjbs]

Sweet...

[@泰央駒崎]

cool！！:-)

[@randall4411]

I was waiting for the prince & princess to step out of the plane after a Disney like magical flight .

[@polygonalmasonary]

Note it’s designation is similar to NCC 1701 ‘Star Ship Enterprise’ 😁

[@raybayer2379]

What a gorgeous video! What song is playing?

[@maxfliart]

Thx, Ray. It's called "Emotional Travel Vlog" by Soundoo via motionarray.com

[@melcrose]

Used to fly whitewings and lost many to thermals.

[@antoniosandoval7593]

Hello friend, could you make a tutorial on the MECHANISM system of the empennage to make the plane go down and not get lost, since I don't know how to calculate the time for the empennage to open and the plane to go down safely. Receive my very cordial greetings and thank you very much from Guadalajara, México.

[@maxfliart]

Thx for your interest. Here's an article I wrote on DTs: www.hallmanstudio.com/DT.pdf Hopefully the photos and text will give you insights to the various methods of using a DT (dethermalizer).

[@wendellhughes2184]

All free flight model builders are soaring flyers

[@motoflyte]

wowy

[@gordonrogers4616]

By the time I have finished building model, it is way over c g any tips while buoilding next one? thank you

[@maxfliart]

It helps to build the tail light in most cases. Doing so will require less ballast up front to hit the CG. It depends on the model's configuration of course. Good luck.

[@thymekiller]

😎😎😎😎😎

[@billsomrak]

I'm sure there was a lot of butt-clenching going on until you got a successful DT trigger. Still, it wound up pretty far away, but at least you were able to recover it. Like a lot of your viewers, I thought, like a Charlie Brown kite, it was going to wind up in trees ... ha ha. Chees.

[@triskellian]

😄😉

[@GS-1982]

Similar to the Polish plane RWD13

[@daviddavids2884]

some late thoughts. just wow. never seen a rubber-powered model do that before.! admittedly, my experience is limited. how was the d-t triggered.? looseness at the motor anchor? i can find no flaws in this design. and, that is a very rare thing. googletranslate

[@maxfliart]

Thx. She's quite a flyer. Not bad for a 1935 kit design. Here's an article I wrote on DTs: www.hallmanstudio.com/DT.pdf The Fairchild works off a hinged stab and one of those smaller button DTs.
