With 30+ years of model building experience I have a wealth of knowledge to share. I can build models and describe techniques all day, but I have a lot to learn about content creation. That said, I plan to improve my skills and document my projects better and better as I develop my channel. Over time I intend to build a range of balsa model aircraft including slope soaring gliders, free flight gliders and rubber or electric powered models. I love vintage designs as well as unusual aircraft and even enjoy designing models from scratch. The channel is intended to share my passion for modelling in an enjoyable way and you may well pick up plenty of tips, but it is not intended as a tutorial resource. Enjoy!

Top F3D Pilot Ollie Witt in action flying his Noname 2 F3D model at Garstang 13 June 2021 during the first BMPRA F3D meeting of the 2021 season. Not the best footage, but worth watching for the sound of the MB 40 FAI engine alone!
How to setup Adjustable Thrust & One-Way Drive for Rubber Powered Models
Просмотров 14 тыс.3 года назад
There are lots of ways of doing it, but this is a basic method which I have used on a variety of models with great success. It is a simple and reliable way to be able to adjust your thrust angle until you find that 'sweet spot" the model flies best on. I've also included some details on my One-Way drive setup which allows the propeller to free wheel when the rubber motor runs out of winds. Than...

Indoor Rubber Powered Mini Stick | First Flights | BMFA Living Room Stick
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.4 года назад
I had great fun taking my new little Mini Stick out for its first flights recently. The air was very turbulent (as can be seen on the first launch) and the rubber I had was far too much for the poor little thing, but it came home undamaged after plenty of fun and sometimes risky flights! Max Flight time was only around 3 minutes but I couldn't pile on the winds because of the excessive climb ra...
