The Victory Stick

Preparation with surprise watcher, presentation of the model and flight.
Scratch built rubber powered free flight model according to a plan by Louis Bucalo.
I copied the coloring from George Bredehoft's Volaré blog when I built the model in 2016.
All the plans of the victory series are available on his great page from which I also have the information used. volareproducts...
George also offers short kits for other victory models :

Love the design 👌 can't believe after watching the whole video you flew it into the sun so we couldn't see it 😖 FILM WITH THE SUN BEHIND YOU PEOPLE!!!

This is free flight without control. I like it when the structures of the model become translucent in the backlight. Greetings around half the world.

Wonderful example! WWII we had no balsa, no rubber, no tissue, did have to cut from pine sheets that always split. But model building and flying was still the goal, however limited.

Thank you!

Climbs like a homesick angel! Nice model and nice build. I've also had excellent results with rolled balsa tube fuselages in P30.
