    Reminded me of free flight competition in 1965 at the Tulsa Gluedobbers AMA annual meet. I placed 2nd in Jr. 1/2A ff with a similar Goldberg design. Trimmed power to the right, glide to the laft.

      Yessir! These like gliding right but some designs (Satellites in particular) do not do well gliding right.

    One of my favourite designs from this period - along with George Fuller's Dixielander

      Interestingly, the One Design event this year is for both Eureka and Dixielander.

    My dad used a slow burn fuse to tip up the rear. His plane did use the pinch timer. Cox 049 souped up engine.

      I used to use fuses, still do on a few planes, but RDT is wonderfully convenient. Wish I had tooling to machine the innards of cox engines.

    I remember these, being British and q old. A v popular plane, and people used to set them up in different ways, eg simple 2 ch radio and an underpowered engine for a Sunday sport model, easy to fly, that kind of thing, but when used as designed, definitely a v competitive bird, and remained so for quite a while..
    Most enjoyable! Nice one Josh. 🌟👍

    I found that interesting about the right rudder. I was thinking typically on pylon models the model goes a little too much right under power so requires left thrust?

    • @joshuawfinn
      @joshuawfinn  10 месяцев назад

      As I recall, I built it with some left thrust. Once it gets going though, it needs right rudder to maintain the spiral.

    • @billkuhl442
      @billkuhl442 10 месяцев назад

      @@joshuawfinn I see, as I recall the side thrust most effective right after launch.

    Thanks Josh, I wonder if it is possible to have RC power duration RET with over driven BLM, and relatively small battery, as it only has to run for short time, for a vertical climb out. Any advice on trimming to achieving near vertical climb ?

    • @joshuawfinn
      @joshuawfinn  20 дней назад

      That's what SAM old-timer LMR competition is. You don't trim for the climb. Just control it on the way up and then go hunt lift. 12 minute maxes usually

      @joshuawfinn Thanks, I'll look it up.

    What is the model covered with ?

    • @joshuawfinn
      @joshuawfinn  4 месяца назад

      Old Monokote (not the new stuff, it's garbage). If you can't get the old stuff, buy the cheap Hobbyking covering as it is surprisingly good and cheap.
