    Really beautiful, so great to see a rubber powered free flight model flying in a way that I never imagined was possible! Thank you for posting this.

    I built a peanut Gillows plane once during college. Never flew it, just wanted to build it. Got into RC Glow and Electric Planes and Gliders. Your Goodyear Racer reminds me of flying Sailplanes on a calm summer day. So Peaceful and Realizing.

    Absolutely beautiful. These sliced rib wings are so economical on weight.. All that longitudinal strength from the big spars is great.. I mean, you can repair a rib or two if needs be, but it's good to have overall structural integrity.. At least, that's how Anthony Fokker looked at it, and HE knew a thing or two about planes.. Lovely film. 👍

    9:23, "uses 250 forward braids." What does that mean? Thank you.

    • @maxfliart
      @maxfliart  3 роки тому

      It refers to the method of preparing the motor, so that when it unwinds, it maintains tension, so that the CG does not shift throughout the flight. My motor for the Snoke is ultimately two loops of .187" x 40". It starts out as one loop 80" long. Before I fold it over into two loops, I wind in 250 forward turns, then fold it over and attach the ends with a small dental rubberband. There's your braided motor, ready to be installed. The number of braids can vary from model to model. When the motor is fully unwound, you want it to sag slightly, but without touching the bottom of the fuselage. If you have too many braids, you will know since the prop will not freewheel, because of too much tension.

      @@maxfliart Thankyou for that. Just to clarify the switch you have shown is it a miniature egg timer or a spring type of affair with some friction washers and presumably tensioned by the arm from the switch?. Thankyou for your efforts very enjoyable really liked the Spitfire/Seafire trim video.

    • @maxfliart
      @maxfliart  3 роки тому +1

      @@chrisbailey459 Not sure where you're going with the egg timer reference, but the button or badge timers are apparently made with a viscous material (silly putty perhaps?) which naturally slows the rotation. Then I use springs made of .009 or .010" dia. wire to create the pull. Glad u enjoyed the Seafire. I've never been so happy to see a ship come into form, since the previous sessions were frustrating.

      I can note the angle and dial it in on the plate back in the hangar.
