I'm 14 years old and i have been doing this hobby for 5 years. i have never seen a model fly that well. i can see how lite it is just looking at it is amazing how a pile of wood and tissue paper can turn into something so beautiful. ive studied ww2 aircraft most of my life. i fell in love with the North American P -51d mustang and the BF-109 you are incredibly talented.
That is the most beautiful flying rubber powered model I've ever seen, very impressive. I could never get rubber ones to go straight at all, I think it flies better than me controlling my R/C ones lol
VERY NICE ! I had a club member who would fly rubber powered free flights, so much fun to watch.. Yours seemed very well trimmed.. Congrats.. Thanks for sharing
You'll have to show me how you manage to launch a rubber ship while holding a camera! Nice trim flights, I see why you put a DT on it. Thanks for bringing us along for the trim session! Subscribed.
Yep, tree magnet was installed. You need to check which side is out, the attraction side or the repelling side, try putting the repelling side out front.
@@joshuawfinn Need find a magnet that repels, keep the planes out of the trees, or at least finds the smaller trees you can walk up to and get the plane. I landed an RC ship in a New England Maple tree, thirty feet up. Engine idling, just sitting up there in the tree. One of the fliers in the club called his son, works for a tree pruning service. he cut the limb holding the plane, the leading edge hit every branch it could fine on the way down. Took two weeks of repairs before flyable again,. I avoid trees.
Have I seen you with the guys from FliteTest? Your model is absolutely beautiful! Almost too beautiful to be painted, but you even with the painting the model, you did an excellent job!
@@joshuawfinn Wow 👍👍👍 that's great engineering work👏👏👏👏👏. I used to build balsa kits in my childhood but they never fly, no matter what I did.🤔🤔 You have inspired me to do it again.😊 If I need some advice I know you are the Guru 😊
@@yassermasood3423 start with a P-30 or Gollywock. They're easy to build and fly well. From there you can use what you've learned to try more complex planes. :)
@@joshuawfinn Thank you for your reply 👍😊 I will definitely check it. I am from UK 🇬🇧 so have to see where I can get from my local hobby store. 🤔 But I can probably get it online🖱️
I am currently building a mustang similar in structure to this. Yours looks and flies fantastic! I was wondering, though, what "washout" is...I assume that it refers to slight negative camber to affect a turn, but I'm not sure...
The wings are twisted slightly so that the tips are at a lower angle of attack than the roots. It makes for a more stable airplane, and it can be done asymmetrically to provide roll trim.
Mountain Lion from lasercutplanes.com is great and easy. after that start looking at stuff from Volareproducts.com, pro series by Easy Built, or the sport models from Peck-polymers.com
Notice the nose block is removable on my model. NEVER glue that part in because then you can't stretch the motor for winding. Guillow's have those silly plastic noses that you're supposed to glue on, and I always dump them and make a wooden nose block that keys into the front of the model.
So we meet again Mr. Finn... mwa ha ha ha ha ha! I came across you in a Flight Test group where you shared your slow flyer in your living room. Now I'm hunting around for anyone who has done a Dumas P-51B because I'm working on a video of one myself, and I find you have done this. Well done, as usual, I hope you get to check out the Dumas video when I post it, I'd love to get your input. :)
Definitely! Build light and make sure you have a removable nose block so you can shim the thrustline and such. I'm pretty sure the stock kit has a plastic nose assembly and a loose fit nose bearing. Not really viable for maintaining thrustline. Take a look at what this guy did: ruclips.net/video/DsLRRL-ciwQ/видео.html
Hmmm... I'm actually to far into the build to do much different from the plans at this point, but this is the beginning of a series so I will definitely keep that in mind for the future... and I will keep you posted. :)
You can get the original 13" span setup from peck-polymers.com but this one is an enlarged modification of that design. I didn't actually draft plans for those modifications.
If you're looking for a P-51 kit, the ones Liem Kou Phing makes are the best by far. Here's his, see if you can contact him and get something going: ruclips.net/video/-CVKPS-i7UQ/видео.html
I tried to build three different guillows mustangs and the die cut wood is so hard to cut out that if your not very carefull you will break them and when I glue it togethere I can never get the fuselage and rudder and elevator pieces to go in perfect and straight and line up at the correct angles and planes never flew more then 5 seconds even if I adjusted cg and all. I'm just going to stick with building my quarter scale and my 50-in wingspan RC balsa planes that are laser cut on plans and they fly because they're RC and not rubber power
@@joshuawfinn ok thanks what kits would you recommend for a scale looking plane like a p-51 mustang or a spitfire and Cessna and warbirds or even biplanes and triplanes from WW1, thanks
@@joshuawfinn I watched a bunch of videos from the guillows free flight rubber power contest they had on RUclips where you had to build a completely stock guillows scale looking rubber plane and some of those guys got amazing flights out of them but all of them was able to build the plane and make it look good. I just can't ever get the wood pieces to line up nice and pretty cuse the dies don't cut them very well and alot of your smaller pieces that have angle cuts in them for rudder and stabelizers are most of the time way to short to even be able to glue in because the die was made to small cuse the plans and measurements of the plans are exactly what it should be so I narrowed it down to the pieces being to short. Can you please do a full build video on how to build a guillows plane like this spot fire please and also could you do a indepth video on how to scratch build a free flight penny plane and a glider that has servos and is very light weight but big enough to fly out side and is powered by a capacitor to get it up in the air and good altitude to hit thermals in the hot 100 degree summer weather in the mornings where thermals are huge and everywhere in morning time down here on Gulf coast it's crazzy the thermals I get. I even thermal flew my fms Cessna sky trainer V2 rc plane which is a pretty heavy brushless 40 inch wing span very scale and realistic looking rc plane and I'm able to get it to about 100 feet altitude wise and cut motor off and just fly in the thermals for a good 30-45 minutes with no power to motor just using servos and radio to fly it then use motor when the thermal is gone and it's crazzy cuse I can even get thermals off of the hot asphalt parking lot aka my run way at the gigantic field behind our public park ball baseball fields and football fields. That I have permission from the head sheriff and mayor of our little town called semmes
@@joshuawfinn please a full in depth build video of a penny plane that is rubber powered and maybe make plans that we can download and print to be able to scratch build our own penny planes or free flight planes that you have built and came up with over the years. My huge indoor rc carpet racing local club track is huge indoor track and the building is gigantic with 30 foot tall cieling and the size of a foot ball field length wise and 3/4 of a football field width wise and we just started doing indoor flying club days on Sundays like racing fpv drones through these hoops I made out of pool noodles hanging from ceiling and using connectors I 3d printed to be able to connect three or 4 foam pool noodles together to make big enough hoops or gates what ever you wanna call it. And now we are also getting a group of guys coming in with super big but extremely light weight rc planes and free flight models and about 5 guys are flying penny planes and those super light weight runner powered planes like the ones you build that are very delicate and light weight. So please can you post some plans of a few different free flight planes for different classes of indoor free flying. Oh and we also race micro flying wings. I designed a 3d printed micro fpv race wing that is 14 inches wide total and weight is 80 grams with the micro brushless motor and tiny 3gr micro servos and they haul the mail doing around 45mph plus its crazzy they have no glide slope at all so if you go below a quarter throttle it's going to crash and just drop lol
I have the kit version of this and im very curious how you manage to trim a right circle and not have it become a sharp right bank when the motor winds out. I could never accomplish it on any of my freeflight models.I always have to use the motor torque and try to trim for a left turn underpower and a right turn in a glide to get any sort of reliable flight. If I trim a right turn under power I almost always get right spiral dive when she unwinds, results in a lot of time on the workbench making repairs.
The trick is to use washout in the left wing and have the rudder trim pretty much neutral, using right thrust to pull the airplane around to the right.All that said, I started having trouble with this model dropping into a nose low cruise, descending with more than enough power to maintain altitude. It would then pop its nose back up once the glide started, so I was losing a lot of altitude for no reason, and it could change from one flight to the next. When I switched to a conventional left-left pattern, the airplane got more consistent so that I could expect pretty much identical flights throughout a flying session.
I guess the moral here is that what works on one airplane might not work on another. I had an SAI 207 that was much happier and more consistent going to the right than to the left. Of course it was 50% bigger and weighed about the same as this model, so there's that factor as well.
I trim glide circle with rudder first, then trim power circle with thrust. High torque for outdoor flying will roll left, making left turns dangerous. Outdoors I set right rudder to fit the right circle to the field size, using just enough moderate power to gain just enough altitude to observe turn in descent. Then I add power up to maximum torque, adjusting turn radius with right thrust. Wing incidence, tailplane incidence and CG must be set first for minimum sink and left where they are. Right thrust is needed, even though there is right rudder, only to balance the left roll due to highest motor torque. Indoors the low ceiling usually prevents you from going to maximum torque. Left-left may be safe then.
@@factdesignbr, I will readily admit that. And that's one of many reasons why I do everything possible to further this hobby and sport. I've been given so much, and free flight has done so much in my life.
@@joshuawfinn same here. Sad part I cant really practice as most flying areas became dangerous.... Drug is a big problem in brazil. One day I'll move tothe u.s bro. Godbless you and yours
@@factdesignbr That's scary stuff. Please stay safe and come to the US or some other safe place as soon as possible. Look me up when you get here and we'll fly fun stuff!
strange how the camera makes the prop look funny when turning.............anyway am aware these models require some kind of weight and trim tabs but where are you putting the nose weight, inside or outside??? also I cut a can lid and tape it on the rudder for trim tab , I see on some of your models looks like you tabbed the rudder and moved it back/forth for trim how does it stay in place?? BTW am now building the pacific ace 30 and still fooling around with the sparky
Camera effect is a thing called "rolling shutter". Smarter Every Day did a really interesting video on it. I usually stick the weight on the back of the nose block in the form of lead, but you can also just stick clay on the outside and then weigh it after trimming and substitute the same amount of lead on the inside where it's out of sight and not prone to falling off. Also, clay drips when it gets hot, and it accumulates dirt. I have several trimming methods. This model allows me to shim the stab, but I used clear plastic trim tabs for roll and yaw trim. The Pacific Ace I featured has a movable rudder trim tab. Honestly I'm not a big fan of those unless they are screw adjusted because the can get bumped out of alignment otherwise.

Hi John, old video now I know but I was wondering what rubber were were using in this model?
I'm wanting to say it was a loop of 1/8" rubber. Might have been a loop of 3/16" though.
Nice build & flights. If that's your back yard you are one lucky flier!
Yup, that's our back yard. It's definitely paradise!
I feel like I am right there with you. There is always the unexpected when you are trimming out, no?
Where does when get quality rubber nowadays - internationally
