    Beautiful plane and flight. I'm amazed at the longitudinal fuselage strength of these planes with so much rubber tension.

    Beautiful giant rubber model with an excellent flight. I wish to see more of these model airplanes promoting the category.
    Thank you very much for showing such a beautiful video.

    Thanks for documenting these awesome models over the years Tom, without you I would never have had a chance to see some of the best Rubber Scale has had to offer over the years. That was breathtaking. What a classy guy Bob was, RIP.

    Wow .. magnificent. I've seen a lot of Rearwin Speedsters in my day, FF, CL, RC .. etc. Generally, I see them painted up green/yellow with scallops on the wings, but this was a real beauty .. and flies great. Thanks for sharing!

      See the description to find out more. Rubber-powered free flight is not very expensive and a lot of fun. We have geared winders to speed up winding.

    Always wondered why ff'ers generally stick to smallish models, other than for contest flying regulations.

  • @Glicksman1
    @Glicksman1 3 года назад

    I understand that the point of free flight is just that, flight without any assistance from the ground. I further understand how difficult it is to build, trim, and set up these airplanes and I admire those who do so. However, I would never build such a magnificent airplane as this and just let it go where it will. Short of having many dozen acres of clear, treeless land to fly it on, I would set it up for R/C assist by installing a small receiver and servo connected to the rudder only to keep it within reasonable boundaries, nothing to improve the flight or to deliberately fly it into a thermal, I get that crucial part of the sport, but just to prevent a flyaway in a thermal, or flight into trees, or onto a highway, etc, which is likely to destroy the precious airplane.
    Additionally, expending the time and energy of long retrievals seems a waste of a good flying day's time and unnecessary wear and tear on my poor, rapidly-aging body.
