Wow! Did not know they did that super lite indoor flying stuff back then. And a black man there too.And by that I mean the spirit and brotherhood of model aviation even back then.
Might've been Jim Walker - he was Mr. Control-Line for a lot of years, back then. A great flyer, and a great "promoter" - one of the earliest boosters, of that segment of the sport, and one of the first independent entrepreneurs to build a solid business in the sport of model flying...that "prop-dancing" was one of his trade-mark techniques.
Looks like the guys at 11:54 have a compressed air motored ship...... wish I knew more about those... super ROG capabilities. This is a great film. Many thanks for posting.
Bruce said it was worth a watch and so it was. Can't help wondering where the hobby took that dodgy left turn and ended up where it is today. Not sure if we will ever get back to this but I say we should give it a go!
Flying model planes used to be a nice hobby. Now it has been ruined by drone fliers. In some countries now you can be jailed for flying without a permit. In the US there are so many new restrictions, it totally defeats the idea of modelling being a hobby, it has become a bureaucracy effort just to register to fly.
Bygone era. Use to build and fly control lines back in the late 70's, but they replaced the circular airfield with a office building, which made it hard to find an area that supported over 50 foot lines. Eventually I just gave it up, sadly. :(
I flew - and mostly built what I flew, though I started with an Aeromite I got as a birthday gift (my Dad worked a part-time job at a big sporting-goods/toy store in Cincinnati) - for a few years while I was still in school, using the high-school practice football field (the H.S. principal was a family friend, which helped) on Saturdays and Sunday late-afternoons - field was wide enough to do 60- to 70-foot lines, and it was down in a "bowl" next to the field house, so not much wind to deal with. My true love, though was scale/semi-scale free-flight, gas-powered - though I had to go out a relative's farm outside of town for that - and rudder-only RC, once I started working a bit and had enough cash for the equipment. Finally became a "drop-out", though, when I acquired a family of my own - never enough time, and never enough money...
G'day, Reporting to view the Phenonenon, as per instructions from +xjet Channel...; the Aeromodelling expatriot Emu, living in Kiwiland, orchestrating a return to the Glory Dayze of Aeromuddling... Victory..., HURRAH ! ;-p Ciao !
Right - that was a Dyna-Jet - ran on "white" gasoline, sometimes mixed with some kerosene and sometimes some alcohol. It had flat-metal "reed" valves, and used a very small spark plug for start-up ignition - you can see it flying at around 12:00 - 12:25...
Our beautiful hobby is gone because of the media.. because of all the government restrictions and the negative views on drones, Im afraid to fly a small drone without the feeling people think of me as a perv or some kind of terrorist.
did we start model making, following germanys pre war trend of expirmenting with flight.... Inventing or inovation which seemed to place Germaning adhead flight science... we can inovate now without a permit or permission...the days of the shed inventor are well gone

I love seeing these contests from the past. The innovation of the modelers is quite inspiring!
The ‘Greatest Generation’ living the good life as it should be. The generation of today can’t hold a candle to them.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
ANOTHER TIME OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND MERIT …FROM HARD WORK !!!!
Boy, those were really the good old days.
Hovering with control line model, incredible!!
The indoor stuff is mind-blowing!
America at it's best!!!
Beautiful planes and kickass helmets!
A lot of nostalgia ..beautiful
That's when people had manners.
👍 👍 Bruce (xjet) sent me here :D

I loved seeing the old microfilm indoor free flight models.

Prop hanging with a control line model outstanding never saw that when i flew control line in the 1970's.
ShermaddictedtoRC I wonder if that was Jim Walker?

So thats what we looked like...thanks for the upload!...

Nope, you need an air stream to start a pulso jet engine....

when ppl and youngsters took an interest with model planes and it really shows! sure cant say that anymore , how sad
Here after recommendation by Bruce 'xjet' Simpson, of Tokoroa, New Zealand.
We need this
And not a word about Jim walker the father of ucontrol
....... wow!!! another world
2:31 “But to keep this world turning in the right direction.....” Globe is actually turning in the wrong direction.
That’s what they want us to believe! ;)
The Earth is rotating backwards!
Going back in time

Ciao !
Those were the days, with no radio control, foam plastic and electric motors with dangerous batteries. REAL aeromodelling.
I was surprised to see that jet at 3:02. I had no idea they had model jets already in 1947.
It is pulse Jet. Principle of a V1.

Nice
it looks like flite fest or joe nall just in the 40s
Bruce sent me too.
5:50 Is that Joe Biden putting his hard hat on backwards !
Great memory of american way
been in the hobby 50 yrs and have seen the sport go down hill>>>>its a I WANT IT NOW WORLD no wonder the hobby's dying out
Funny how the globe is spinning the wrong way

THE MEDIA IS THE WORST DISEASE IN THE WORLD
Yep, leave it to the stinkin media to tear down society
Supposed to be teaching and showing the right ways to be but shows the world spinning the wrong way???

exjet me too a little like flight fest today
And then imagine what happend to the east europe after 1945 under soviet union control ...
did we start model making, following germanys pre war trend of expirmenting with flight.... Inventing or inovation which seemed to place Germaning adhead flight science... we can inovate now without a permit or permission...the days of the shed inventor are well gone
