The Nats Free Flight 2017

The annual Chuck & Duck at the 2017 BMFA Power Nationals at RAF Barkston Heath.

[@PeteSztencel]

Heroic camerawork, and isn't it wonderful that nobody's managed to ban Chuck and Duck yet. Jolly good show, chaps!

[@tomshiba51]

Yes it is. We wouldn't see this personal responsibility allowed in the U.S.

[@robert43g]

I love how every so often you here the giggles etc as a plane dosent fly etc or comes near people all good clean fun

[@vicv9503]

we need this in 2022, really

[@michaelhrivnak1719]

That just looks like TOO much fun! Loved watching it.

[@f4udhorn]

Unbelievable turn-out for a free flight contest!

[@daveday5507]

I haven't been to the Nats since 2007. This is pure nostalgia. Thank you. Wouldn't you just know that most of these are R/C or C/L flyers?

[@erickvillano2069]

Looks like great fun, thanks for sharing!

[@malakiblunt]

i love the compleat and utter lack of 'health & safety" Glorious !

[@josipvrandecic2472]

Sweet memories...thanks for sharing

[@umbongonights]

Fingers crossed for the Nats 2021 !

[@rossco1518]

1:08 My first ever free flight, the plane product of an afternoons drinking and building.... Good times 😁

[@gertnood]

Cool, I wondered about the origins of that one.

[@gemfaceter]

That looks like a lot of fun wish I could be there!

[@copee2960]

Just wish that every now and then the people at this event would shout out the name of the model that was on the ground being filmed, but besides that little gripe well done too young and old ....at all these meetings there is always laughter, fantastic.

[@patbaxter6588]

Sweet Memories

[@donliddard]

Free Flight at the Nationals is always good fun

[@wearemany73]

Love it! 😂❤

[@redriver4447]

Just watching this, as an American who has flown and run our RC Soaring Nats, this scares me to death. With all these people wandering around, how do you all not really hurt someone very badly?

[@Pedro40932]

¡Muy bueno!!

[@tomgorney8868]

Sounds like TOO much fun.

[@josipvrandecic2472]

Good times rool !

[@garygullikson6349]

Who was the diesel guy with the big hat, beard and glasses?, I think I knew him from Mile Square and El Dorado Park venues

[@edwardlacey244]

All those long hours of building pays off ,the weather looks good to.

[@davidbennett1585]

I love the way people just randomly fling their airplanes in various directions

[@robertsklenka5823]

My engineering regimentation cant take it ..haha

[@pointnozzleaway]

ok..is free flight rubber band powered ?

[@spektrum33]

Controlled mayhem .....looks like fun 👍

[@richarddarlington1139]

Control? What control?

[@stephaniekent8483]

have to say looks like total madness lol

[@1971Flieger]

Totally nuts... How many people were injured?

[@gertnood]

All of them.

[@patrickcol]

Why do rubber-band powered planes make such a horrid noise?

[@calebpoirier751]

patrickcol They are not powered by rubber bands. Those are motor sounds that you are hearing.

[@1000frolly]

Chuck & Duck? Only in England!

[@AlfredoArbe]

art of trimming FF airplanes seems lost with few exceptions

[@rodparsons521]

Just what I was about to suggest.

[@tonywright8294]

Wo ho Ha ha so fucking funny not

[@davestambaugh7282]

A bunch of poorly set up ships.

[@bassbug62PB]

A beer fest, or a flyin?

[@gertnood]

Then again, you think maybe the video focuses on the near misses and poorly trimmed aircraft? Not like this is all that happens. Most of the time there are aircraft flying around happily in the background..

[@bazdurrent3124]

Gets very boring, very quickly.

[@gertnood]

Then watch something else. Doesn't bore others.

[@user-sn6bj3lf5b]

Hated the bs background sound!
