    First time I saw this gossamer aircraft I fell in love. Bud was flying it at Taft a few years ago. I wondered about the portability but that seems under control. Splendid machine, great offering. Thanks to Josh, Hope and especially Bud.

    Wow! What a great performance! You should call it "the Long Walk". I fully understand about the pure free-flight part of our hobby and all, but if ever a model needed R/C rudder assist, this is the one.
    Some time ago I built a 3-channel Lanzo Bomber with an old Astro .05 geared motor. It climbed nearly vertically and just would not come down. Into the slightest breeze, it hung there like a kite and caught every bit of thermal activity in the sky. I had to spin it down to recover it. I won (I should say IT won) every club duration and timed landing contest until I retired it from competition to give the others in my club a chance.
    This airplane electrified would be a killer competitor as well.
    Thanks, Josh.

    Hey
    I flew fighters in the USAF for 20 years, the last one being the A-10. Then mostly 737’s for USAirways. Here’s what I see. Your aerodynamics seem to be as perfect as you can get them. Since there is no pilot who can re-trim as RPM decreases, the aircraft has to be very aerodynamically sound. I was very impressed how the aircraft was able to stall and recover on its own with minimum loss of altitude. That’s one heck of a design with outstanding trim adjustments by the owner to get it just right. Very impressive and fun to watch, pure flight!
    Perhaps Joan of Arc bares some explanation. She is the Patron Saint of Soldiers, and I honor her because she got me through some tough spots over Iraq. Guineas are great, they love to eat ticks!

    This is a great plane and I like the way it flies. I was into rubber FF in the 69's and 70's and even got to meet Bob Dunham and go to his home in 72 when I lived in Ok. What a fine gentleman and superstar to me. Got to see his micro film indoor planes which were a work of art. Went to powered FF after that for a bunch of years with some Bill Hunter of Satellite City elliptical wing designs. Eventually we ran out of flight fields that were within practical distances.

      I correspond quite regularly with Robert Dunham II. He's been a regular customer and a great advisor on our AMA Gas projects. I'm most of the way done trimming a Satellite 788, really nice flying airplane with a K&B 7.5. I understand your problems finding suitable fields...my solution has been to invest in RDT technology so I can trim on very small fields. Also Cat III maxes are short enough to be workable in decent weather, though I'd much prefer to have Lowry Range at my regular disposal instead of the 24 hr drive it is each way.

      It's half again bigger than a Wakefield and half the weight to boot. Wakefield is alive and well as the F1B class. Limited power allotment of only 30g of rubber, so they're built with fancy gadgets to get the most out of what little power is available and the results are impressive, if inordinately expensive. Some of us fly contests for vintage Wakefields using published designs from the era and flown to the original flight format. They're cheap to build and fun. I built a replica of George Perryman's 1952 Wakefield, shown elsewhere on this channel. Quite fun, especially with close to 6 oz of rubber aboard!

How many flights is a competitive motor good for- vs- just a having fun on the weekend? I have built all of Simmers "wocks" , Korda's Wakefield & Dethermalizer, Lanzos Stick plus maybe 50 Gas free flights and scale models. Finally moved to a state that has enough open space to fly them.

      Robert, I need to do a video on this one. Bottom line is most of my big rubber models can fly an entire season on a single motor unless I have to do a bunch of retrimming following repairs, which usually destroys a motor. I store them with the motors installed, in a cool location, in their storage boxes. Seems to work out ok. I do strip to size from 1/8" rubber. You only need to do that for small scale stuff and indoor planes though.

      That's why we use the DT on test flights. For dawn flyoffs, you just let it go and chase it across the countryside.

    I wanna build one of these with full house rc gear. Flaps, ailerons, rudder and elevator. Maybe a nice light brushless with folding props too or maybe a cox engine... but that on a pod, cause I want those rubber band props... beautiful. Something designed years ago

    • @joshuawfinn
      @joshuawfinn  2 роки тому +2

      Bear in mind cruise speed on these is really low so you need very calm conditions to fly them. By the time you put in flaps an ailerons, the weight starts climbing and you need carbon to compensate for the flight loads. At that point it's basically a Pulsar 2m or Kennedy Electron (both very nice flying airplanes which can handle very strong winds). Anyway, just some food for thought so you know what you're getting into.
