I'm glad you showed the brief intro of winding the rubber motor. I hope you'll do a full video RE: selecting rubber for a model, initial downthrust, how to properly wind and other such tips. My dad taught me rubber power model flying when I was a little kid but all we ever did was to put in one loop and wind it (to double knot) the length of the airplane fuselage. I thought any more strain would cause the fuselage structure to collapse.
The 'just right' amount of stall tendency on power burst to get this one into the blue stuff and flatten out beautifully. Certainly 200 feet up I think. Enough to ruffle the buzzard's feathers a bit.. Can't see anything wrong with this. Also, I DO like red/yellow on cabin models. Superb. 👍
I grew up on a farm and was always fascinated at how smart those birds were. When cultivating Seagulls will land right after the tractor getting worms that were dug up and I always had the same two golden eagles circle over me waiting for me to scare up some gophers or rabbits. As soon as I seen a gopher start running I knew it had less than a minute to live.
Watching him pack in all those turns without a tube fuselage protector made me nervous. I didn't use them either, for the most part, and had to "pay the price" for not doing so on more than one occasion. Nice flight .. the buzzard was an added attraction.
Nice model with a fantastic climb. I'd like to get a little more detailed close up of Pete's table and his very simple stooge arrangement. For instance, is there more than one size wire or does one size fit all?
Here's a close-up of the stooge, followed by a few words from Peter. hallmanstudio.com/stooge.pdf "The stooge is a block of wood C-clamped to the table, There are two coat-hanger-wire attachments to the stooge. The width can be adjusted by hand to fit a model, or a new one can be bent and fitted in place."
Thx. It's an older Canon PowerShot from 2009 or so, the SX20IS. I'm sure there's an upgrade in the series, but this one has served me well, so I stay with it. Gets hard to hold steady of course at full zoom, and the auto focus goes out on occasion, but for the most part, I'm pleased. Might try a monopod at some point...but if the model ever goes directly above, it's always a problem to film.
Built rubber, gas, electric, enjoyed them still have many un built in boxes on the shelf. The Thermal B and Dart are great beginner gliders to get you use to the Dihedral wings. Tower on line, Amozon, E-Bay.
How does this plane accommodate 42 inch rubber motor. When it winds down to size between peg and propeller, how does it continue to unwind and power propeller? Thanks.
From the modeler, Pete Kaiteris: "...The Pacific Ace uses a "braided" motor consisting of three 42" loops of 3/16" Tan Super Sport Rubber. The loops are attached to a piece of aluminum tubing that is a slip fit on the rear peg. A dental band secures the loops to the tube. A dental band is a small rubber band used on dental correction braces. Then, each loop is individually pre-wound with 250 turns. The three pre-wound loops are then secured together at the prop end with another dental band. A few turns are put into the motor and then it is allowed to spin out. This process is called "braiding", at this stage it looks like a piece of rope. When fully wound up and allowed to spin out the loops develop a lot of "wiggles" that make it much shorter, about 10" in length, and much fatter than the "rope" stage, allowing it to run to completion inside the model..."
Thank you so much for detailed reply, I'm new to this and learning. I have one more question. When pre-winding three individual 42 inch loops, were those wound in same direction or opposite direction? I mean can all pre-wound clockwise?
@@maxfliart Merry Christmas. Since our last conversation, I started making a braided rubber motor and a airplane model. I have one question. In winding part of this video, is that of pre-winding 3 individual loops or that's preflight winding of braided motor. Thank you.

Love your videos,!! Need some advice , I bought my son and myself the squirrel airplane like you suggested , and that was a lot of fun , now we are buildings Guillows Javaline and I need your advise into what would be a good upgrade prop for it ? Thanks for your videos and your help 👍✈️
Peter told me that he uses three loops of 3/16" x 42" long and a 10" high pitched prop. Not sure of the turns but probably in 1400 range. Just a guess.
Really love these tranquil, slow-flying planes. Excellent.
A properly built and trimmed rubber powered airplane is a work of art.

Back in the late '80s I built an RCM magazine version of this airplane with a .20 cgow engine on it...this is a fantastic airplane, awesome video.
Great flight! Thanks for showing the winding, and launch! You guys sure have a great place to fly!

Well balanced glide angle. Spot on
how beautiful if flies. ... stunning. ....

@@maxfliart Thanks, that will get me started. Does he remember what was the largest size motor he has wound on this set-up?
Should change the name to "Star Chaser" !!! Lol thank you for for sharing, beautifully done!
Nice flight ! I'm curious what kind of camera you're using for your videos, it has one of the best zoom capabilities for flying models I've seen.

Maravilhoso este aeromodelo , meus parabéns , eu adorei o vídeo , o senhor que o construiu é muito criativo e inteligente !!
Is that a Kiel Kraft kit? Very nice flyer!

Fantastic! I am new to RC planes and am somewhat familiar as to finding the CG. Where do you start on a model like this? Thanks!
normally 1/3 1/4 back from the L.E.
I normally keep the CG in a match box in my work shop ,makes trimming out a lot easier 🤣🤣🤣

@@Astracygnus Yes, you would wind all three loops in the same direction. Forward winding, as if you were winding for a launch.

how far will it go? you have no control of it! its amazing how high they go! i have a flying model and i may build it! great video!

A good prop diameter is the square root of the wing area.
Привет! Отличный полёт! На какую аппаратуру снимали?
Been using a Canon SX20 IS.
Большое спасибо! Неплохо получилось. А кто оператор?- специально обученный человек? :)
Muy buen modelo, gran vuelo.
What is the motor specifications on this one?
Pete says that he uses 3 loops (six strands) of 3/16", each loop 42" long.
Is that breaded rubber band?
That’s great. Thanks for posting.
That was a "test flight". Yikes...that was better than any flight I have had with any model, ever.
Nice... What size motor...how many turns... Thanks...
Peter told me that he uses three loops of 3/16" x 42" long and a 10" high pitched prop. Not sure of the turns but probably in 1400 range. Just a guess.
Motor can take a bit more than 2,000 turns.
Where does one find large rubber bands and propellers?
Here are two good places to start. Something for everyone.
