Very nostalgic ... brings back memories of the 1937 Old Reliable I built decades ago, covered in clear yellow monocoat and powered with an O.S. Max .19r/c. Great flyer and great memories. Started my r/c career as a young teen, with a single channel tone tube transmitter (Citizenship CTX) and super-regen RX with Bonner R.E. Vari-Comp escapement (rubber band power to actuate the rudder). I've seen so much in near 60 years of modeling ... Cheers.
Great vid mate love the old timers in progress of building my first 1 simplex 45 by bmjr , but looking at these I'm thinking of getting a larger model all ready
Goldberg Sailplane...arguably the most beautiful model ever made. I have my late dad's hanging in the garage. It's a free flight version, but I'd like to do an R/C convert & fly it someday.
You don't have to be an old timer to enjoy old timers. They'll fly on any kind of power, electric, 2-stroke, 4-stroke, diesel, it doesn't seem to matter! And they're so pretty. They are super easy to fly and, with the help of an instructor, (always), make excellent trainers. Learn to fly with class!
Great video and lots of nice planes. But I did not see one old ignition engine in the bunch. I fly a Playboy Sr. with a Super Cyclone or an Anderson Spitfire on gasoline and an spark. I also fly a scaled down Lanzo Bomber with an Ohlsson 23. Four strokes are nice though and I have converted my OS 60 FS open rocker to ignition. I made a breaker plate and used Harley Sportster points. Runs like a Swiss watch on Coleman stove fuel and Walmart synthetic 2 stroke oil at 16 to 1. I am planning Quaker for it.
@cashrc Thanks for the message! You bet we'll be doing the Old Timers again next year. Once a month we gather to fly them, but get shutdown once winter arrives. We'd more than welcome you folks from Texas! Please get in touch for more information and message exchange.
Hi Jose, If it were up to me, I'd use the 30 size motor on an old timer with a wingspan of 60" to no more than 72 inches. I've flown 45 size (four cycle) on 80 inch wingspans. Hope this helps.

Hi Nelson,
I like these old timers, spend weeks or even months to build them, then fly them. This is the hobby, thank you.
Completely agree. Today generation is plug and play.

Beautiful, beautiful planes....
5:30 - that's gnarly turn of speed for a vintage model!!

That would be a good project. Get the kit and spend the winter building it, then you can fly it when the weather gets warmer.
Beautiful old models! Thanks for the video.
