I’m still catching up with the hobby after a 25 year lapse. The work you did here is amazing, just beautiful. That glide trim test was spectacular and I’m betting the powered flight was even better. Well Done!
Awesome little plane. A true work of art. You are a Master craftsman. Very talented and you choice of music is awesome as well so fitting for your creation. What a glide test right off the board as well. Very impressive. 👍👍 thank you for sharing with us. You really inspire me. Thank you.
Tom, another superb build, tutorial and build all in one. Now I see how you make the foam wheels and rigging jigs. Thanks again. The unpowered glided is amazing.
Hi Tom, inspired by your work, I have been building the Bill Galloway 20' span scale Sopwith Pup. It's been a wonderfully complex and delicate build, and is now fast approaching the covering stage - which always unnerves me... Before I start on the body, I was wondering how you achieved the stitching on your Martinsyde? I would be extremely grateful for any elucidaton to guide me - having got this far, I'd never forgive myself for messing it up! Need I say that I await your next creation, and look forward to seeing the Caudron airborne. Many thanks.
Thx for the kind words. For the stitching, I used low tack tape, 3M #811, and cut the zig-zag with an X-acto knife. Then I simply separated the two pieces of tape slightly, and airbrushed a dark value through this gap onto a separate piece of tissue. Next I'd cut out that strip, probably 3/32" wide, and glue stick it in place, over top of the existing tissue onto the side of the fuselage. Simple but effective, with virtually no weight.
Thanks so much for your enlightenment, I have pondered muchly on how you achieved this remarkably effective result. I like the idea of doing it on a separate strip of tissue, that way you only have to commit yourself when you're totally happy with the result. Five stars!
Wonderful bird, excellent build and the video is pleasure to watch... Only problem is that it gives me a kick on the hindquarters to get back to the building board.. Thanks for that too. :-)
Thx. It's simple. I used some low lack tape, and cut a zig-zag with an X-acto, then slightly separated the two pieces of tape, and air brushed a darker value. I did this onto a separate piece of tissue, then trimmed it, and attached the strip to the side of the fus with a glue stick.
some people... with little patience... find this stuff... booooring... not me though all my life... back to my roots of modelling 50+ yrs ago a different world
hello, excellent works of art.I wanted some advice: the angles to keep the fuselage sides, what material are they? Since the fuselage sides are joined by crossbars, how do you put them in perfect alignment and what glue do you use?thank
@@maxfliart ah. Please make a tutorial on making such tiny weaponry! Actually,make tutorials on the subject in general! Also, which glue do you use for the frame? Because you get such seamless joints
I have built a bunch of peanut scale models ( Peck Polymers, Walt Mooney, etc.) back in the '80's. But now the parts are just too darn small! I gotta make 'em somewhat bigger these days.
coolest! The plan paper is based on the original airplane, but because the balsa airplane model does not have a heavy engine on the head, the wrong position of the center of gravity and lift will cause the head of the airplane to be too light. Can the installation location of the wings be determined before construction? Can the center of gravity be determined in advance? Thank you every much.
+72secondprize Thanks, but no, the roundels were sprayed on with an airbrush. Part of the process is shown at 1:55. However, the wood grain texture and the numbers on the rudder fin were applied with an inkjet printer.
@maxfliart, very nice airplane and impressive work. Congratulations. May I ask you how did you solve the freewheeling mechanism for this model? I cannot find it out. Thank you very much.
Thx, Pablo. The freewheeler is a simple ramp type, made with an aluminum tube. Check out the close-up drawing near the bottom of the plan. hallmanstudio.com/Martinsyde_S1.jpg
@@pabloastica Yes. This ramp freewheeler is similar to what all plastic props have. Ramps don't work, only when you are using too many braids, which pulls on the prop shaft too strong. The rubber needs to sag a little after the rubber unwinds.
hola I am Antonio, el Papa de Cris. friends, how do you apply the painting on Japanese paper and the letters and shields so sharp, thank you very much for doing a tutorial of that (paper painting), as well as the plane's tutprial do, which I learned so much, I will show you best regards. How can I contact you? best regards.
I've noticed the propellers on your peanut scale planes are quite oversized. Is that for flyability reasons? And is there a way to create a flight-worthy plane with a more accurate scale prop? I'd love to get involved in peanut scale, and you've inspired me. Thanks!
Thx. Yes, the large prop is for duration. You pack in as much rubber as possible, but use a larger prop to slow the rotations, and hopefully gain more time in the air. In the Flying Aces Club events, we're shooting for the two minute max. But you can certainly go the other way, and use a smaller prop, but with a longer and thinner motor, which could give you many more winds. It's the game we play, and each has it's pluses and minuses. All fun though!! Give it a shot.
At 1:48 it shows the process, using bond paper taped to a hard surface. I use either a very hard, sharp pencil or a pen, then score the backside, which gives the illusion of spokes on the front side. Simply slit the hub on one of these spoke lines, and overlap slightly, which creates the cone shape. Finally, glue in place with a few small spots of glue on the foam wheel.
Wow! this is the reason I am getting back into this hobby. l design and build my own cars, so I don't wow easily. But I would go to a show if your work was in it. Thanks for sharing.
So old school, so inspiring, so beautiful, thanks for sharing.

Awesome craftsmanship and skill! Beautiful job! Cheers!
Lovely built, amazing glide. Really beautiful model.Inspiring to make one myself, thank you!
it's amazing how you make these gorgeous museum quality pieces that can still fly. bravo.

Thanks again. The unpowered glided is amazing.
The glide is amazing
the stitching on the covering blew me away. great job on this model
That is amazing craftsmanship and your video production is just as outstanding. Great work!
I am so glad there are people with the patience to build beautiful things. I'm not one.
beautiful craftmanship
amazing workmanship .I'm in awe.
A wonderful build. Smashing job.
A true work of art. Thanks for shooting and sharing.
You have shown us everything except the most vital bit - the prop and motor. Still a wonderful video. Thanks
Absolutely awesome I learned a few things ❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful glide.
How in the...you are the most awesome modeler I have ever seen. Man I wish I had skill like this.
another beautiful model - the prop was amazing

Looks like fun!.
Man, that is beautiful!
Very,very beautiful !!!
Masterful to say the least!!
Great job! What is the music? Wonderfull!
Stunning
truly amazing I am impressed keep it up
How did you get the stitching effect from behind the cockpit towards the empennage?
Great build!

@@maxfliart aaah! Great method!
Somebody pushed the unlike button? Must be a joke. Beautiful!
People who are jealous of his skills. New Leftists who can't stand to see anyone excel.

Had to have been an accident
Wow! Btw,did you use aliphatic or PVA or CA?
hello, excellent works of art.I wanted some advice: the angles to keep the fuselage sides, what material are they? Since the fuselage sides are joined by crossbars, how do you put them in perfect alignment and what glue do you use?thank
Good stuff thank you for sharing .
Wow. Just wow! I had 2 questions:
1.how did you make the gun?
2.what did you use to link the intersection point of the rigging 'wires'?
Thx. The gun was made with grass stems and Hearty light clay. For the rigging, I placed a drop of that rubbery Sobo glue on the criss cross.
@@maxfliart ah. Please make a tutorial on making such tiny weaponry! Actually,make tutorials on the subject in general! Also, which glue do you use for the frame? Because you get such seamless joints
very well made!
Wow!nothing short of amazing!can you make a tutorial on scale scratch building!

Beautiful build. Really amazing. Did you print the decals directly onto the tissue from a PC printer? Brilliant.
+72secondprize Thanks, but no, the roundels were sprayed on with an airbrush. Part of the process is shown at 1:55. However, the wood grain texture and the numbers on the rudder fin were applied with an inkjet printer.
+maxfliart Good airbrush job! Once again, really nice model. Keep up the good work.
Flying masterpiece 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Sensational !!!!
beautiful!
Par excellence!
A labor of love ..
Beautiful
great skill 👍
8 people without serious modelling skills don't like this!
the very best!
so lovery !.....thanks
Perfekt
Magnificent
Very very nice and accurate job , you are a crack

@@maxfliart Basic doubt: If you have the rubber braided, does still work that kind of freewheeling?
@@pabloastica Yes. This ramp freewheeler is similar to what all plastic props have. Ramps don't work, only when you are using too many braids, which pulls on the prop shaft too strong. The rubber needs to sag a little after the rubber unwinds.

Sweet
That first launch i said ..wow is that a flier
How did you make the machine gun?
I wish I understood everything I saw, especially the roundel part.
What material do u use to cover the wingframe
I use a form of Japanese tissue or esaki.
kilroy was here
Do you dope your tissue?
Wow...
Hello, how do I get the plant? Thank's!
Here's the plan. hallmanstudio.com/Martinsyde_S1.jpg
Wow!!! Very Tankfull!!!
can you pleas explain how you make wheel hub? Thanks
At 1:48 it shows the process, using bond paper taped to a hard surface. I use either a very hard, sharp pencil or a pen, then score the backside, which gives the illusion of spokes on the front side. Simply slit the hub on one of these spoke lines, and overlap slightly, which creates the cone shape. Finally, glue in place with a few small spots of glue on the foam wheel.
