Sonex Highwing MODEL AIRPLANE First Flight

Richard Preston of the Trinity Flyers in the United Kingdom has built a rubber band powered model of the Sonex Highwing!
Thanks to "Lurk" for the video, who commented, "That was an impressive flight! what impressed me (and others at Trinity) even more is that was only the 3rd flight. Most rubber powered FF scale models take many more than 3 flights to achieve that sort of result which suggests to me that your design is a good 'un as cranky full size aircraft rarely make for good subjects for FF models. Good luck with the real one."

Awesome job on the model!

As a retired technology teacher using scale models first before full blown iterations is how we taught the engineering design process. Can’t wait for the HW production to start! 🙏🏻

That was mean 😀

No that was the real thing, but where did the giant people and gym come from??? (Yes, this was 'mean', but also funny)
