Top Flite "Nobler" flight at Sir Dale Kirn Joust 2016 Control Line Stunt Contest

[@brat96th]

In my day - 60s - we ran the motors rich so flight was slower but at 90 degree and tighter flicks the motor would lean out and help tighten the turn. I still recall the set routine with horizontal and vertical and overhead 8s, triangle 8s, square 8s, etc. 40" span running OS Max 35 motors.

[@petergoodwin2465]

Excellent flying, I used to love this when I was a kid. Scratch built from plans , just as much fun if not better than radio.

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Thanks Peter, It is still so much fun.

[@petergoodwin2465]

@@FlyingControlLineStunt don't need much room for control lines as well. Have to get back in to it again. They really look better to especially the old stuff.

[@josephmarciano4761]

The Nobler was a kit.

[@petergoodwin2465]

@josephmarciano4761 we didn't have many kits in Australia back then. We used to build planes at an old Korean mustang pilots house. Guy was a genius, he would draw up plans for anything you wanted to build. Excellent draftsman, taught us how to build anything but he loved old timer free flight. We used to run for miles to find those planes. He was messed up from the war , we used to hear him having nightmares when we went there early in the morning. Of course the Australian government traitors didn't give a shit .

[@slange455]

Only for people that can’t fly radio control …this is boring

[@larryfisher7056]

Great to see the old Nobler still getting some love. I built and flew one 50 years ago when I was I think 18. Good Times...

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Very cool! I will always love Noblers

[@renatofrancescotti9196]

Che meraviglia vedere un super classico del volo vincolato, mito di quando eravamo ragazzi e vedere una bellissuma pista in asfalto. Da noi non ne esistono piu'

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Thank you

[@kenurquhart2061]

I built 2-noblers as a kid the first one came to a horrible end when the up. Line wore out the bellcrank and detached.The carnage undescribabble.I then built a Bob Palmer design Thunderbird.A great model too all using Fox 35 a really sweet choice on 60 ft lines.

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

You should get another model and get it up in the air.

[@rogerguinn1642]

Beautiful! Reminds me of College days, MVMAC and Bill Melton, Jim Young, and the Alberson brothers in Las Cruces, NM, USA. They tried like hell to teach me to fly stunt. They deigned the "Road Runner" loosely based on the Nobler,. Although I had the Nobler, I was a lousy builder and it never did fly right...

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Thank you for watching.

[@heeder777]

Great to watch, after 4o years I’m getting back to CL flying. Your video is very motivating! Going to get my legs back on the venerable profile Ringmaster then build my last all time favorite (I was 16) the Nobler. This time though, they will all be from scratch. Looking forward to the smell of dope in the air again.

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Thank you for watching. The Nobler is one of my favorites too. If I can be of help let me know.

[@sammoore9120]

Good luck finding actual dope. All I can find is EZ dope.

[@DickDebonaire]

I miss the smell of the castor oil burning. Years ago I put some Maxima castor in my weed eater to go down memory lane. I think I just might do that again

[@brentonsmith-pw2rp]

Veron combateer and the phantom

[@timpoole4487]

Beautiful flying! I loved this plane when I was a kid! First on an 0.49 skyray, then the ringmaster, and finally the Nobler! A friend of my dads actually scratch built a larger size nobler for a os max 46 or a super tiger 60. I still have the plane!

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Thank you for the compliment. I also love Noblers. You should find a club near you that flies control line and get your plane in the air again. Watch stunt hanger video hangouts on the stunt hanger KZbin channel Monday and Friday evenings at 6:45 p.m. Pacific standard Time.

[@raymondbaylis1359]

Superb I'm going to build one of these can you use a clunk tank best regards ray

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

It might be difficult to find a narrow enough clunk tank to fit. Building from scratch you could widen the fuselage sides spacing to accommodate a clunk tank possibly. Because I used a super tiger 46 I had to custom make a 5 and 1/4 oz fuel tank to fit in that narrow compartment.

[@ahmedelrashidy2416]

What kind of setup ( engine and propeller) ?

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Stalker 81 RE 14 x 7 prop

[@PaulRash-s2f]

Noblers, Aries, Thunderbirds, Smoothies, Ruffys

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

They are cool.

[@robertomartinez6520]

Nobler is amazing acrobat, it's classic, I love this aeroplane!!!!!!GRACIAS

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

The Nobler is a special model airplane to me also. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@charlesbovalis6591]

What engine brand/displacement are you using ? Also what size / length lines are you using ? I really love how the engine sounds - rich - and not fast, and the lap time for this setup seems perfect .. Share some details when you can - thank you.

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

The engine at this time was a Super Tigre 46. I will have to find my flight log to answer the line length and other details. But this was a good engine run. I will in the future provide more details in the description portion of the video. Thank you for watching the video I hope you liked and subscribed to my videos.

[@FranksModelAviationWorkshop]

Nice flying Charles. One of these days I’ll have a completed Nobler. Lol

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Thank you, Frank.

[@tyronemarcucci6991]

Looks like the wind kept shifting. Gave you fits didn't it?

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Yes the wind was shifting and I had to move around a little bit. The gentleman taking the video for me didn't move but it turn out alright. Thanks for watching and commenting. I have seen your name on Stunt Hangar before.

[@timredelman1993]

Nice job Charles!!

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Thanks Tim.

[@lelioaugusto6040]

Nobler,,,still a great model!!!

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Yes I agree the Nobler is a great model.

Great models never die.....they just get built again.@@FlyingControlLineStunt

[@johnmajane3731]

As a kid I could never get more then a few successful flights out of a U control. Usually wrecked them. Couldn't get past getting dizzy. You were really grooving there.

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

I flew as a kid and had so much also. Thanks for your comment and watching.

[@my_dear_friend_]

How do CL pilots not get dizzy?

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

A pilot must narrow his focus to the airplane and only view the airplane. If a pilot looks at the trees and the blades of grass and everything else it will cause dizziness. Great question by the way. Mr Weiss please come and watch Stunt Hanger Video Hangouts every Monday and Friday night I host the show starting at 6:45 pm PST. The show is on the Stunthangar KZbin channel .

[@woodsmn8047]

I never got over it .. I just got used to it and concentrated on the plane and what it was doing ..!

[@halcorson5543]

Can I get a little buzz just watching I haven't flown in a long time I got a few planes to nobler and commercial ones I'm gonna have to find time

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

It's like riding a bicycle again: it will come back to you.

[@woodsmn8047]

Mine was an aries ... but I never got good enough that the idea of a smoking hole in the ground didn't give me nightmares but I built and flew many other kits when I was in the navy back in the sixties .. while my best work hung in a safe place ..!

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

I understand the fear of putting your artwork in harm's way.

[@jannovak2234]

Hi dear sir this is arf tf nobler with Now finishing?? Pleas tell me engine set up

[@charlescarter1886]

Super Tigre 46 on 10% nitro, 20% oil mostly castor. Xoar 11 x 5 prop.

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

It's a combination of monokote and Hangar9 covering. I did dope and tissue the stab elevator and rudder and then covered it with iron on film.

[@keithshepherd4693]

Any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing. 👍

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

That is right. Thank you

[@marcellagrand1322]

Nice flying Charles

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Thank you Marcel.

[@guillermomonteromarroquin4065]

Hi Sr, what's the engine???

[@charlescarter1886]

That is a Super Tigre 46.

[@guillermomonteromarroquin4065]

Great I do have one of those... Is the prop 11/5?

[@guillermomonteromarroquin4065]

And sorry to bother, are the lines 70 feet???

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Yes

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Sorry they are not 70 feet. The lines were 63 feet eyelet to eyelet.

Good job dad, I love you!

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Thank you baby.

[@myblessings1214]

you reply quick btw its tati

[@Statek63]

Why still using the old way of a sort of "regular" pitch prop and that to get a slow flight then get the engine to run rich on the verge of four-stroking ? I know this is how it's been done for decades but back in the days there were not much low pitch props around and engines were more noisy - but now you can get any pitch and blade with you want. Also one can get a better muffler. OK I get it that anyway most fliers probably converted to electric at least for F3B or fun flying, but anyway has anyone tried lower pitch prop with the engine in it's more "natural" RPM-s ?

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

Thank you Statek63 for watching and commenting. Remember this Nobler was designed in 1950's and is considered a "Classic" stunt ship. It is designed around the low power engines that was available back then. The Fox 35 engine was the engine of choice in those days using a 10" x 6" prop. I still like the old classic 4-2-4 engine run you described in your comment. The beauty of the 4-2-4 engine break was to give you the maximum power you need during the maneuvers not during level flight. The low pitch props are used in engines like OS 40VF and others which use carbon fiber tuned pipes and I believe the prop pitch was in the 4" range and the rpm's were much higher and the engine run was more of a constant engine run through out the complete flight. The tuned pipe setup is in use with more competitive control line stunt models.

[@gdeming1]

My father and I built many model airplanes when I was a kid. We would sit in the basement and apply coats of DOPE on the papered wings. Maybe the smell of DOPE made it so wonderful...

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

You was so fortunate to have a dad to spend the time with you to build airplanes. Beside the smell of dope was the good smell of glues and epoxy. Consider getting back into control line flying it still is fun. Thanks for your comment.

[@philmann3476]

@@FlyingControlLineStunt The smell of Ambroid was always a favorite, along with chewing the dried glue off your fingertips. Good times.

Seriously, a fanny pack?

[@FlyingControlLineStunt]

The fanny pack is a great way to carry extra stuff. I keep my stop watch, glow ignitors, allen wrench to adjust my control line handle, colored sharpies to make marks on my adjustable leadout positions, different size length line clips to make adjustments for neutral for my handle just to mention a few.

@@FlyingControlLineStunt I love it. Guy tries trolling and is shut completely up by logic.
