F1B wakefield flyoff win by Riho-Ats Saatväli from Estonia
Model used - "Orca" made by Stepan Stefanchuk from Ukraine.

EXPLANATION:
For some reason this video has become very popular and people are "mad" that you dont see some grazy rc plane flying action or something.. This sport category is free flight, plane is not controlled, we fly duration. For longest duration you want to have as much altitute as possible, and as calm and slow glide as possible.
WHY YOU DONT SHOW FLIGHT MORE?
In this flight my model drifted around 300m downmwind, and at around 100m altitute. Due to mountains it also got dark very fast - second half of the flight was difficult to see even with binoculars. So soon after video ends camera could only see dark sky and occasional white led blinking - nothing to really show in video.
WHAT IS THIS CATEGORY?
Its rubber powered glider. This category got its roots back in 1871 when first rubber powered airplane was made (Loong before real airplanes were thing). Around 1920s first competitions for flying duration and distance started to appear, later distances got so far that there is no way to really measure it. Now the modern F1B category models have onboard micro "PC"s with integrated altimeter, DT(flight ending function), LED flashers, and even GPS to find the plane after flights. Most used materials are carbon fibre and kevlar. Rubber motors are done from "FAI super sport" rubber, and been tested with special machines to find the motors with best quality and energy.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THE VIDEO?
Competition: This is flyoff, so basicly "final" after 5-7 1 hour duration rounds, there max flight time is 3-4 minutes. There is 10 minutes to make the flight, and maximum flight time was 8 minutes. First im winding up the rubber motor to its maximum (right before the braking point), it takes years to understand the rubber and know exactly how to wind up and loosen the motor, depening on its tension, stretch etc - each rubber patch is different.
Then i set the plane ready, and start to check the weather, there is nothing more important to find the right time to launch if you want good flight.
Understanding weather takes lots and lots of testing and flying, it is different in different fields and areas on globe. I also have put up weather machine upwind, and am checking the temperature and wind graphs from the screen on tripod. While doing this im slowly adding turns with hand and checking the tension of the motor.
I took the risk to launch right before the end of the 10 minute working time, and i got good weather, flying over 1 minute longer than 2nd place.
Its very technical sport and has lots of "in ground" work to just a couple of minute flight followed By the retrieval of the plane. Most of the people flying that hobby are some kind of mechanical engineers, inventors or just like to spend days on field with hot sun and weather, staring at sky and walking long distances. There are less aviation enthusiast in it than for example RC aerobatic flying etc..
Thank you for explaining)
Thank you and congratulations! We all had balsa wood rubber band airplanes growing up
Most of the people who complained don’t have the attention span to read and understand what you have written let alone understand it. I’ve never flown gliders/ RC planes etc but have a keen interest in planes since a kid in the 1970s and 1980s and reading both real plane magazines (e.g Pilot magazine) as well as hobby related stuff I knew about this part of the flight hobby…but never saw it in action. Thankful YT put this in my feed…you’ve got yourself a new (and very interested hahaha) subscriber. On a side note, at the club where I race RC cars, there is a guy who used to fly tethered nitro planes (back in the 1970s/1980s I think) and he’s looking to get back into it, saw him looking at some stuff on eBay and even second hand the frames and parts etc are selling for well over £1000 🤯🤯
Ps this is like pilots who fly for airlines but in their off time enjoy nothing more than just flying gliders.
Loved the film and explanation, but don’t get too hung up on those that complain, they don’t understand, and with the whole internet at their fingertips are too lazy to do some research of their own 🤷♂️🤦♂️😂
@@friktionrc thanks for kind words, nice to see other aviation enthusiast.
Its all planes all day for every day for me , since i build UAV-s as a job, and teach kids aeromodelling and also fly and compete myself too.
Thank you for your explanation, interesting for sure.
High tech free flight is amazing, and the graceful ships in the air (indoor or outdoor) are beautiful to watch.
Holy shot what a rubber band wind at the beginning
Wow a little more fancy than what I had as a kid
Как всё продвинулось... Я начинал резинщиком в 1968г. Даже занимал призовые места на первенстве области.
man that's scary the winding lol
0:33 so much potential
those are some sharp wings
dang very high tech, composite, ratcheting prop, looks like torque gauge at one point? hmm and the radio for telemetry I guess
Самый нужный момент плохо заснял... Хороший полетов! от бывшего моделиста F1B. как же я настольгирую...
yes Villem on camera followed model with his eyes, but not with camera
Wow some real soaring ability
Excelente
Nice... New friend from Philippines
Looks like fun. 👍
Damn, this is weird and interesting.. Nice one.
I wish you had shown the actual flight versus just showing all the preparation... thanks for this though... I didn't know anything about this sport
This category is mostly preparation. Rubber motor runs about 45 second, then it stops and model just glides. Since it drifted around 400m away, there would be nothing to see on the video, only maybe led flashing sometimes.
You can check my nevewst video, there is bit more flight to be seen
@@rihA-g3e Скучный и мертвый спорт F5J интереснее
@@user-oo1pu6bj1c i have been to F5J competitions, as timekeeper, etc. i have built F5J carbon wings, i fly F3k, but NO i do NOT agree. I do not find F5J or F3K as interesting as free flight... just cnntrolling your plane in thermal for some time, then picking it up and going home is not that interesting to me...
@@rihA-g3e вот и летай f5j остальное зачем
@@rihA-g3e обычно многими видами спорта занимаются пилоты не умеющие летать.
What the name equipament for a rubber??? Silvio of Brasil. Thank'
Yuri Blazevich winder, stooges i made myself, rubber holders/half tube is andriukov or stefanchuk production.
05.21 FAI super sport rubber.
В детстве участвовал на такой моделе
Makes me wonder if I could invent myself a rubber band powered arrow to shoot with my traditional hickory long bow. About the time my long shot starts to fall the foldable prop blades pop out and the rubber band takes over. Lol. I like to lob long distance shots sometimes. Really arc it in there and see how far I can shoot just for fun. #Tradgang
Nice.
nice game friend really
NECESITO CIERTAS ORIENTACIONES CON RESPECTO A LA ESPECIALIDAD DE AEROMODELISMO EN F1A Y F1B PARA INICIAR UN CLUB,,,
QUIERO SABER DE QUE PAIS
QUIEN ME PUEDE COLABORAR YO PRACTIQUE ESTE DEPORTE ,COMENCE ENPLANEADOR Y LUEGO ME MANTUVE EL WAKEF.
GRACIAS VIVO EN. MARACAIBO, VZLA,,NOMBRE
J,ROMAN.GRACIAS
WHATSAPP NO HABLO INGLES
Never seen this before. Man thats a lot of tension and "windings". Get this dude to build a rubber band powered moon rocket, he just needs to start winding it up a little further back....
Can u um... like uh.. what do you call that? Uhm oh camera yes camero on the plane? Is it possible?
too heavy for this type of model. It weights 200g, extra weight just ruins flight performance. Its for competition purpose only.
@@rihA-g3e There are lighter cameras, but still, weight that isn't structure is bad. One of the important skills for this class is building to weight -- not too heavy, not too light.
Mantab👍
where i can buy it ?
If you need to ask don’t bother!
Quanto tempo voando e qual altitude?
perece tres a cuatro minutos, a veces como ocho y altitude es aproximamente cien metros
Hi
So what happened?
OP Success.
What is this sport? Looks like fun, but I'm confused as to the rules
free flight - non RC airplanes, pre programmed and trimmed out for maximum flight quality but not controlled during flight.. As you can see on the end there is scoreboard, those numbers are seconds, we fly duration. for 5 rounds max flight times were 2-4 min, who got all max, moved to flyoff. During flyoff max was 8 minutes, but longest time was bit over 6 minutes, thats the time i got to win the competition. its lot of preparation, and reading the weather from the signs, and also from the graph of weather machine (that you can see me looking at 1:12 )
1.50 start
I have rubberband from 1999😉
Keren

放個飛機，雞絲一大堆
The hell was going on?
you can read the pinned post, everything is explained. In theory, this video should have never reached you in first place, blame the algorythm :P
TR
😐
After watching the guy loading the rubber band for 4/5 of the video he stand there watching one in the sky, ho well should've put in the tittle wait for the end. ')))
Tittle!?
To me - I've not seen this activity before - it is more interesting to see what goes into activity ie the preparation, the method - rather than just see a tiny speck flying about. Much more revealing....
afraid i would find this sooooo boring....just have to have a controls in my hand....i guess a control freak.
i have been flying Radio controlled planes too but to be fair i get bored of it faster, its usually 20-60 min of flying and then ur done. and maybe again in couple months. RC gliders are more appealing since you need to search thermals to keep flying without engine power, but still i can not get enough of free flight
It is *vastly* more demanding than RC and takes much more knowledge and skill.
don't you gotta hike 5K after to go find your plane? lol
during 3 last rounds it went 2km downwind, so just a 4km walk for these flights. + ground was solid enough so we could go half way with car.
And this last 6+ minute flight air was calm and model landed only 300m downwind, basicly just behind where all the cars were parked
Thats cheating..
Two minutes of winding the rubber band and ten seconds of flying...ridiculous video.
