So THIS is what you've been up to! After a 3 month build, you must be delighted with this result. We rely on you Tom to push the boundaries of possibility and you've certainly come through with this beautiful 44" twin pusher. Simply stunning, and I'm sure I speak for everyone in looking forward so much to seeing more flights with this exceptional plane. Hearty congrats on this huge success! 🌟👍
Wow! You're certainly not one to shy away from a challenge - building or flying - are you, Tom? Your twin flying wing is a rare beauty on the ground, but even more so in the air. She should garner some serious bonus points. Thanks so much for sharing!
I invariably shake my head and go back to the workshop. What a masterpiece. And your field is perfect. Its taken a few years of watching your videos to figure out that the wind I've been avoiding flying in are thermals. You always teach me something. Thanks!
Rubber free flight has to be my favorite form of aircraft modeling. To build a twin engine pusher and to have it fly so well is an impressive accomplishment!
I’ve always been fascinated with the concept ideas of the Aircraft companies especially in the 1930’s era. Watching you bring this concept to life was a lot of fun. Wether you realize it or not, I think you missed your calling as an aeronautical engineer. Perhaps you are! A beautiful build and impressive aerodynamic problem solving.
The opening shot made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and gave me full body goosebumps. Had to play it over and over with the sound cranked up. Another Masterpiece.
Ha....thx. After I saw her safely pass the tripod cam, and I started breathing again, I couldn't wait to see what I'd captured. Couldn't have planned that better if I'd tried. A lucky shot for sure.
I wish I had had the patience required to trim freeflight models. In my defense, I was building Guillow's models that were apparently made of solid oak. Still in the hobby today, but I build models out of Depron now with micro RC components. It's what I dreamed of when trying to make those Lead Sleds fly. Your Artistry and your skill absolutely amazes me. Great stress reliever. Thank you so much.
It's good to have you back, Tom - you haven't posted for a long time. That's an amazing plane and you have it flying beautifully. Thanks. Tom (from France).
Fabulous and inpiring, like all of your other planes. Thank you for bringing joy. I can't stop thinking in that these creatures are so fragile and strong at the same time. The structural design work and the construction workmanship itself are admirable.
Great conception, great execution. Wonderful build and finish. Masterful trimming session resulting in such great flights. I'm in awe of your skill and knowledge, and your application of it in creating this unique model airplane. This and you are what our hobby is all about.
Absolutely loved the "motor" sound as it flew over the camera, in the beginning. Your channel quit showing up in my playlist and I have missed it. Searched for you today with "free flight models", just to see what you were up to. The stooge you built to hold it while winding and the foam prop blocker were genius.
Superb flights. The last one seemed to have caught a small thermal. Flights were as elegant as the real life avians we saw at the end of the video. Very inspiring. Envy the large field with soft tall grass.
Thx. They cut that section of the field in late spring, so I was glad to be able to use it before it was gone. Except for the dirt landing, she never hit the turf.
What a wonderful piece of art you ´ve crafted ! The counter rotating propellers is the right concept. Watching the flights is more exciting than watching radio controlled model aircrafts Even the bird seems to like it. Admiring !
I miei più sinceri complimenti per le tue realizzazioni che sono meravigliose e dimostrano le tue grandi capacità costruttive, non che la fantasia nelle forme.
@@maxfliart Una sfida molto ben riuscita, essendo io un realizzatore di riproduzioni di aere per un museo, ti garantisco che i complimenti sono poca cosa nel vedere le tue creazioni. Io mi incanto quando vedo cose così ben riuscite, spero di vederne ancora. Un grande saluto.
You have built yourself one heck of a model there, I'm looking forward to the day when she catches a big thermal on a calm evening and shows what she can do. I've just begun to add some flying wings to my rc collection and my only is regret not doing it sooner. Some tiny rc gear would fit nicely into this model.
I really enjoy all your builds and all of your videos, but this is an absolute stunner. Wow! What a beauty! I've been watching your channel for a few years now. I'm a static scale modeler who's dabbled in some flying models as a kid. So the interest has always been there but for some reason I just never pursued it. Every time I watch one of your videos I think I need to change my hobby. Thank you for your calming, soothing, and inspiring content.
I remember being entranced by the smaller one when it appeared on your show... And now this one is wonderful! Exquisite structural workmanship with attention to detail that is superior. The airplane flies really well... Great job and great presentation.
Most excellent! Beautiful build, beautiful flying! Love to see kids in my ... uh ... "age category" still getting a kick out of building & playing with toys! 👍👍👍
Thx. I don't have the plans drawn up for publication, but it was based on this plan of the single engine version: hallmanstudio.com/Bruning_BOEING_306B.pdf
Well, that is beyond beautiful Tom! I enjoy watching your videos and learn from them. You sure create some interesting construction methods. Thank you foe sharing!!
Ahah, u r right i know now!!!😁 No wonder u did not post any new vids for quite a while!!!🤔 Now I understand what u've been doing during all this time🤓...and it was all for the best as always.😎😉🤗 How much time did u spend for building her, in overall hours? She's a pure beauty and she flies sOoo smoothly...✈ Hats off to you Mister!!!😏
@@ZUSMANELEN Hard to say the hours, but I usually was in the balsa every day for at least an hour or so thru the 3 months. Felt like the perfect balance between life matters and studio work. Love when it works out that way.
On that last launch I happened to notice the thermaling Vulture just as it left your hand, and watched in awe as it headed straight for it! Wait till Vance sees it!😉❤️ Hi again from San Diego👋
Ha thx. The Thermal Gods were definitely taking notice and planted a couple of fans, as I never looked behind myself to see what was happening. VG saw these for sure, and will see the ship this weekend at the Wawa Spring contest. Can't wait to get her going again.
Wonderful! seems to want to tighten the spiral with perhaps thermals/updrafts? Still much more stable than I expected and another lovely bird. Thanks for sharing!
The air was swirling for sure. But there's also the ever present changing speed of the individual props because of the tight quarters. Just pleased that she seems to right herself through most of it.
What a marvelous job. Your attention to detail and patience in test flying is to be commended. As a lifelong lover of aircraft ( especially those that were a bit unusual in design) they have always fascinated me. The job you did on this build and presentation is great. No photos left but about 60 years ago I built a large balsa Dornier 217 J2 from scratch using old prints. At first I wanted to do a RC version but back then RC gear was spendy and it never got past the control line level. But it was impressive and with a wingspan of over 5' its' excellent detailing always drew a crowd. Your work on this old Boeing design makes me want to look for some drawings for Howard Hughes X11 that he built at the end of WWII for the army, Another twin boom twin engine monster in its time. Keep up the nice work. Old Bob
Hi Bob. Thx for the kind words. I'm glad u were able to see this ship in action, since uv certainly had quite a bit of airtime throughout ur life. Thx for taking the time to share ur thoughts. Go for the Hughes X11...looks to be quite a good twin, no matter how u would power it up, but I'd be tempted to try rubber for sure.
Allow me a brief diversion from the magnificence and genius of your model building art to consider this: Is it a true flying wing with elevons rigged out like that or just an extremely close-coupled conventional design? But I see the distinctive reflexed trailing edge so I guess she is indeed a flying wing, beautiful
I guess that's up for debate, but it still feels like a big flying wing to me. Even with the elevons & rudders, it still faces many of the same challenges.
Outstanding! I have seen that plan online and an article on the Boeing flying wing concepts (including a tailless flying boat). Your model is beautiful and spectacular to watch!
As always, your beautifully built models are an inspiration. I know that every time I open your latest video, I will not be disappointed. You are a true craftsman. The passion and dedication you display and your skill (photography) capturing the moment... There should be an award. As I approach retirement age I am rekindling my love of free flight models. I used to build Peanut and Walnut scale as well as many duration birds. Techniques and materials have changes slightly, and for the better. The old Nitrate/Butyrate Dope days come to mind. I have enjoyed your "Free Flight Basics" immensely. If I may be so bold. I was curious if you might sell a set of drawings? I know that scratch building involves a lot of improvisation and any drawings are mostly guide lines and such. I am inspired to attempt a challenging design (Twin, Pusher, Wing) and the 306 C looks perfect. Very Respectfully, Wolf D.
Thx for the kind words, Wolf. I don't have a set of plans to offer for the Boeing 306-C, but there is a link to a plan for the single pusher, the 306-B, listed above in the description. I based my design on that. Welcome back to FF.
So THIS is what you've been up to! After a 3 month build, you must be delighted with this result.

Yes, William. Ha. Focus was on the build and not making films. Time well spent, as the ship is a dream.
You must tell me how I may acquire a set of the 42 inch plans like in your building video, great job
This channel never disappoints. You show how amazing our hobby is and why it never gets old.
Pass over camera at 4:54 was pretty cool.
a twin flying wing. That is quite an accomplishment!
From Argentina.
Congratulations dear Max.
You are a genius.
Wow! You're certainly not one to shy away from a challenge - building or flying - are you, Tom? Your twin flying wing is a rare beauty on the ground, but even more so in the air. She should garner some serious bonus points. Thanks so much for sharing!

Si le visionnage était payant, ce serait remboursé par la sécurité social !!🤩
Thx, I'm glad u enjoyed the effort from these past few months. Can't wait to fly her again.
Incredible workmanship, very impressive
Great stuff. Wonderful video
sweet flying
Wow! Love seeing the unusual designs being brought to life. What a beautiful flier.
The artistry, craftsmanship, tuning, tweaking, and success of these builds boggle my mind!
Wow 😮 the flight straight over the camera was awesome
Held my breath...any lower and it would've changed the entire day. But I'm glad I got the shot!!
Absolutely incredibly fantastic!!! The construction, the design of the plane, and those incredible flights.
Fabulous and inpiring, like all of your other planes. Thank you for bringing joy. I can't stop thinking in that these creatures are so fragile and strong at the same time. The structural design work and the construction workmanship itself are admirable.
A very bold prototype choice, beautifully built. Hugely impressive last flight.
Thx, Andrew. Felt like a design that just had to be built & flown.
Perfect airfield…natural cushion. Very nice job on the construction and flights!
Thx. I was hoping to get there for this trim session before they harvested the field. Looking to do the same this weekend.
Great conception, great execution. Wonderful build and finish. Masterful trimming session resulting in such great flights. I'm in awe of your skill and knowledge, and your application of it in creating this unique model airplane. This and you are what our hobby is all about.
Thx. It was a rewarding day. I'll never forget it.

All you models look and fly amazing - you truly have a gift.
My third time to watch this video. Never get tired of seeing the wing fly!
Thx, Leonard, I never get tired of launching her. She has been a dream.

I miei più sinceri complimenti per le tue realizzazioni che sono meravigliose e dimostrano le tue grandi capacità costruttive, non che la fantasia nelle forme.
Grazie! Il modello è stato una sfida da costruire, ma ho imparato molto sulla balsa e sul volo di modelli insoliti.

What an absolutely beautiful video.
The build is a thing of beauty in itself but it simply came alive when it felt the wind.
Congratulations.
I always thought you must be savant at trimming, but I now realize you must be an extremely precise builder. The result is Art. Thanks for sharing.
That was what I wanted to say: fantastic. I do not recollect seeing anything about the Boeing 306-C, but it looks nice and flies well. I loved it.
The time lapse of the shadows on the wing construction is a brilliant shot!
Thx. I love that morning light in the kitchen, where I build.
Love your videos, getting back into the hobby after about 20 years and your basics series has really encouraged me to try new things, thank you!!!
Thx. Enjoy ur future builds.

Absolutely beautiful build and flight. I did hold my breath for a second there, on the sixth flight, when it stalled. 😊
Same here. But I was pleased to see her ability to recover, a few times. More stable than I ever imagined.
That was a beautiful flight and build. Would it be possible for me to get a set of plans from you.
Thx. I don't have the plans drawn up for publication, but it was based on this plan of the single engine version: hallmanstudio.com/Bruning_BOEING_306B.pdf

This reminds me of flying Sleek Streak rubber powered models in my youth. The rubber always seemed to unwind too fast, a gear might have helped.
You'd be surprised how long a Sleek Streak can fly with a much longer motor. They can really get up there.
@@maxfliart never tried that I have to admit.
