Nice pattern!!!

Looking good Bill. I have 5 boys building the Sunbird V2 electric powered gliders, We meet two days a week for 4 hours each day 1:00PM - 5:00PM. This is Week 4 and one of the boys is starting to cover the Fuselage and tail. We are building in the EAA Chapter 878 hangar. I built one in 6 days ready to fly, and filmed the 15 part series showing how to build it.

Дрова... 🤷

its funny you know when you fly a kite it is about being satisfied with your flight

I was ten when I built my "Baby Ringmaster." Good for you, pal!

From what I could tell, it looks like you were flying in an aerodynamic bowl...frequently difficult to lift out of those things and get up to good air.

Con éste sistema no son necesarias dos personas para volar el avión, ¿Cómo pones en marcha el motor desde el centro del círculo? Muchas gracias

A very sedate flyer, well done.

I've got heads

And used parts

I've got heads

I had a couple of those as a kid. 42' line is pretty good. At 75 I don't know how long I could go around in circles without falling on my butt. Thanks for sharing!

42 ' of line is too much for 049 power .it not very controlled.

I've been flying CL since 1970. Got all the hot old motors . Gonna pull out the stuff and Go Ape Shit again. Keep on flyin

Greetings. What wood is the fuselage of this model aircraft made of, lime wood is good and must be thick, please, I await your reply. Thanks in advance

At first viewing the noise of the other engine during the glide is an outrage 😮 then at the end you realize it's a friend on a motorcycle who you'd have to admit could come in handy 😂

and thanks for sharing.

Well hats off Sirs. I watch a LOT of this kind of thing and that was special. Great demo of a record breaker doing what it oughta free flight never seen it before. There's something great about having nothing to do after the launch but watch, enjoy the flight and maybe do some shouting and jumping up and down like a kid. Bet it even smells good. Grass and gas, lovely. 😀

Hi Bill, haven’t seen you on Stunthangar lately,, good to see you,

For me, this is what it’s all about. Nothing like catching a thermal!

Great video. I just got that plane second hand. I actually flew my friends today and it was awesome. Im going to get mine ready this week and take it up on Saturday. Keep up the great vids!🫡

Looks like a couple good places to fly!

no sound

i have used an OS Max 35 on a Flitestreak and what an awesome engine!

My Ranger was a Carl Goldberg model I think. Hard to remember back to the 60's for tiny detals such as model brands though. I had a pee wee .020 on mine and the entire airplane was painted with orange dope because it's easy to see and there was plenty left over from my grandfather's Great Lakes he had built from scratch. I never found the pee wee's any harder to start than the .049 Cox engines. We used to fill the tank and tweak the needle valve and time it with a wrist watch to see how long it would run. Then we would fill the tank again and start it. We didn't launch until we figured there was about 30 seconds left. When a Ranger 30 is climbing like a homesick angel; 30 seconds seems like an eternity! It looked like a dot on a piece of paper before it quit. While it made a football field sized circle while climbing, that all changed once the engine died. That sucker straighted course and went in a perfect bee line towards the next county. Me and my cousin were running full blast trying to keep it in sight. It wasn't coming down that we could see! We gave up the search in the corn fields when the sun went down. I figured it was a goner but my grandfather had a buddy look for it the next day in his airplane. He easily spotted the orange against the green corn stocks and told us exactly which telephone pole along the road to use to enter the corn. The Ranger 30 got a penny glued to a wing tip after that to ensure it spiraled back to earth in a wide sweeping turn. If I still had it today I'd have a radio in it and an electric motor. They had great balsa back then because that airplane was super light for it's size. With just rudder, elevator and throttle I bet it would be fun to fly. I might be tempted to go just two channel and leave the pee wee up front to keep it light.

I spent ALL winter building my first R/C Sailplane. When it came time to launch, I thought I was doing everything right, but apparently, I had not stretched the surgical tubing out far enough. I let go and the plane shot up and then listed to the side cartwheeling into the ground to TOTAL destruction! I learned my lesson, but NEVER had the money nor the inclination to EVER build another RC model airplane.

I had a Jr. Flight streak with a Fox .15 on it. It flew great. The only reason I quit flying it was I wanted a .35 sized airplane with a real body. Those little details were important to a kid in the 60's and early 70's. I remember the Perfect had all kinds of stuff in those little bags with the cardboard top held on by a staple. They also had control line metal fuel tanks and rubber tires for our models.

Had one of those back in the day. Great little plane.

I just bought a box kite. I've wanted to learn to fly one since I was a young kid. We had kites, but they were rhe delta style because those are easy to fly. I hope I can learn without getting too discouraged!

Nice work catching it all on camera, too! 🙂

Plans available on Outerzone, simple stick and tissue model, make you own kit.

Eather way that baby fly's great, I remember!! The baby ring master was fun too!

Do you have a description or video of the stooge you use?

Greatest C L aircraft ❤ BUSTER !

Excellent. My first C/L experience was this kit, 10 years old. A father son thing. My Dad had VooDoo as well.

The ultimate 1/2 A plane? The COX ME- 109....PURE AEROBATIC JOY TO FLY!!!

The big brother was the Shoestring STUNTER....MINE HAD FOX 36XBB with a 3 blade prop...

Silk is the way to go! Have you tried Spiderwire fishing line as control line? I have used it and it works nicely - for my ancient plastic cox pt-19 anyway!

Electric???? Realy??? REAL C/L model pilots fly with nitro and castor oril. You must have voted for biden.

WHAT A HOOT SAW THESE LINE CONTROLLED A COUPLE OF TIMES AS A KID IN EARLY/MID SIXTIES THOUGHT THEY LOOKED REALLY FUN BUT AFTER A BIT OF TIME WATCHING THE LIMITATION OF BEING ATTACHED TO A LINE MADE ME LOSE INTEREST DIDN T MATTER WAS NEVER AROUND ANY MALES THAT WOULD OF HELPED ME WITH IT ANYWAY HAVE SUBD GOOD LUCK

Congratulations on achieving your goal. Having said that, the manufacturer of this model should be thoroughly ashamed. At least it's pretty!

You hit the nail on the head about loops! The more daring of us even tryed inverted, with always a broken air plane as a result!

Texas Timers no los vende

Thanks for posting this. Could you tell me how you fastened the battery to the plane? I have made a couple 1/2 a planes with a battery bay in the wing. I would like to retrofit some of our old glow models to electric without making a mess.

I have a old teather plane just like this one. Cool to see this fly 👍🏻

Bill, had one of these when I was a young boy. If you decide you don't want to continue messing with it, I'd be happy to purchase it from you.

Stock one i had used a 3 point engine tilt adjustment range

Good old Gary...He and I had some good times at the NATS, especially flying his jet..
