This is obviously the single most dangerous aspect of the hobby -- which is why it's so much fun! A surprising number of GPS and flight-controller failures though (LOL).
Reminds me of the time my Uncle Allan was teaching me to fly with a free flight Humming Bird diesel, was so much fun but a pain when it landed in the biggest and only tree at the western district flying field out Muriwai NZ, cheers Brett
thats the whole point of it stan, buts its actually a badge of honor if one smacks you in the face and you get up and walk away from it - kudos my friend !
Never seen freeflight before but i loved it , highlight of the nats for me and perfect weather as well. Dont know hows its not banned because of the obvious danger, but thats the appeal !!! Great fun .
Never seen so many out of trim free flight models in one place at one time. There are reams written on the subject and I imagine many people over their that can show someone how to trim a free flight model to properly complete a flight. Not pretty to watch.
Never saw so many crashes at one time! You really gotta keep on your toes around there. When I was a kid, so many tears ago, while taking a drive with my dad, we found something that looked like what's going on hear. They were powered, RC, but they only used power for a short time. The object was to see how long you could keep it in the air after the power stopped. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
Oh man, brillant fun and one of my favorite things to watch and wish we could see and here experience this ourselves! The only thing is these planes fly and land better free flight than I can with remote control! BIG thumbs up Pete! Cheers and ...LOOK OUT, here come another one!
complete lack of organization ............ I absolutely love it everyone there had smile on their faces. Some how as modeling gets more hitech it seems to have done away with the fun that it is all about.I dare anyone to give a thumbs down.
Best bit of the nats,brilliant, hope 'elf n safety dont see this or you'll all be jail!! You know the reason you had good weather (on an August bank holiday)! COS I WASNT THERE grrr!
@@theneesons5858In the 1960s this was considered an appropriate hobby for kids. Now you have to be over 18 to buy glue, modelling knife, paint, glow fuel/diesel fuel etc.
It’s a shame I made a comment about Stuart little the animated mouse in movie and how adorable this channel is how this is like a miniature airshow as Stuart little as pilot and it was meant to be cute Facebook said that was inappropriate ? This is getting ridiculous for real love this channel and the happiness it brings heads up from USA 🇺🇸 about Facebook im going to watch on y tube from now on instead of Facebook totalitarian judgements
thanks simone for your kind comments, yes ive had bans from facebook for ridiculous reasons, thanks for watching our channel simone, why dont you subscribe to us (its free) and click on the bell notification and then youll receive updates when we upload videos each day !
Dont people use downthrust any more ? most of these would benefit they are nearly all power stalling ! has the art and joy of trimming models been lost ?
As fun as this may be HOW can it be safe spinning props and all those people its only a mater of time before some old man or kid gets a prop blade to the face
been there done that several times but they still come back rob - this has happened on this site for over 40 yrs - no ones sued anyone yet - they go there for the thrill of it at their own risk - they all know the consequences of what can happen !
why ? its called freedom of choice billy ! they are aware of the dangers and they choose to stand there of their own free will - who are you to deny them that ?
Never seen this much of unfortunate flying! Looks like the theory of flight does not apply well :) Maybe the wind was too strong for such light models and maybe the engines were weak or the designs are flawed or something!
Excellent
thanks
I dare your subscribers to try and watch this without smiling. Pete thank you as always. Jim
agree!
Mitch, it is a wonderful reminder that FUN doesn't necessarily have a high price tag. Thanks for your reply. Jim
yes I agree jim - lol

yes bruce its deffo exciting to be around - most of them don't know how to trim the models which makes it even more fun - lol,

Whats funny is everyone dodging these things😆
thats the whole point of it stan, buts its actually a badge of honor if one smacks you in the face and you get up and walk away from it - kudos my friend !
Free flights are true fun and excitement....thanks a lot dear Pete !
thanks Josip - great evenings entertainment for sure my friend,
Lots of nice models but not trimmed properly
what was that spinning blade there!!! awesome!!!!
That spinning thing :D Thats what i call a flying wing.
If only we have something like that in Australia...
Never seen freeflight before but i loved it , highlight of the nats for me and perfect weather as well. Dont know hows its not banned because of the obvious danger, but thats the appeal !!!
Great fun .
nobody complains or get angry wen hit.. wonderful pass time....
They know the rules. If you step onto the field you're responsible if you get hit.

Beautiful planes built by people who seem like they know what they’re doing. Surprising the number of launch failures.

Yep. Labours of love, but you'd have thought they'd know better with so many 'stall launches'. Look and learn people!
I like to think they only get the chance to fly FF with so much gusto once in a while, so maybe they get out of trim in storage..

Generations ago we knew how to trim a FF
Some beautiful planes but a dangerous place to fly!
No, a dangerous place to spectate. 😏

Mayhem indeed - it's all bloody WONDERFUL.

thanks fred, was a great laugh m8, they fly better than me as well - lol
The gentleman at 2:27 got it exactly right.
complete lack of organization ............ I absolutely love it everyone there had smile on their faces. Some how as modeling gets more hitech it seems to have done away with the fun that it is all about.I dare anyone to give a thumbs down.
love these old timers but this event seems like a complete disorganised madness.
Does anyone what the blue and yellow plane at 3:50 and 4:38 is? Seemed to fly very nicely!
Possibly a Keil Kraft Southerner, or similar. The double dihedral on the wings gives it lots of stability. www.belairkits.com/detail.asp?id=922
I’m really new to this but I’m just wondering free flight is any kind of plane and engine flying without radio control right?
its all in the video description comments box neeson
Seems like a fun hobby, what are these powered with?
Small diesel engines or small cox (or similar) glow engines.
engine, electric, or rubber
I wonder how many injured people left the field. :))
none that i heard of, most had left before i left in the dark
The one guy got whacked in the hand by a propeller.
The perfect caos in the air kkkkkkkkk
Could I have flown a multirotor there ?
If not, why not ?
Why not as long as it is free flight.
Best bit of the nats,brilliant, hope 'elf n safety dont see this or you'll all be jail!!
You know the reason you had good weather (on an August bank holiday)!
COS I WASNT THERE grrr!
Good show
The dwarf with the top hat! 🎩
I wanna go!
Anyone know what the low-winger at 7:50 is?
Yes, it's the Linnet designed by GR Woollett in 1954.
The plans to build it are in the public domain now, it can be found online and printed for free.
There are lots of badly trimmed models on show here! 😛
who cares - its fun dave
this is awesome :)
Heads up.
brilliant show
Can't see any young people flying these
How young do you mean? I’m 23 and would love a few of these to tinker with over the summer, they’re just so interesting and obviously fun
@@theneesons5858In the 1960s this was considered an appropriate hobby for kids. Now you have to be over 18 to buy glue, modelling knife, paint, glow fuel/diesel fuel etc.
Trimming the models properly would spoil the fun!.
exactly john - let chaos reign
Why does UA-cam always gotta change shit, turn it off one night come back the next day and it's all different.
a lot of tail heavy tosses

Free-Flight model flyers are superior to RC'ers, they are experts at flight trimming, don't need RC.
A lot of stalling
Doesn't anybody know something about safe safety, trimming, CG's, carburating and flying propperly those models
who cares livio, this is not scale flying - this is mayhem where anything goes including bad C of G and carburating - just enjoy the mayhem m8 !
@@tbobborap1 Cheers then!!

Fattore sicurezza: zero!!
questo è ciò che lo rende divertente fabio - lol

Yeah, how about next time we separate the observers from the people flying the planes.
why ? its called freedom of choice billy ! they are aware of the dangers and they choose to stand there of their own free will - who are you to deny them that ?

LMFAO - its called having fun so lighten up a bit you perfectionist !
@@tbobborap1 Yeh you may be right. I wish I could surround my self by people with this kind of positive spirit! :)
Oh my. So dangerous. I thought the BMFA did away with the mayhem. So glad to see that either they didnt or these gents don't care.
Un desastre mucho modelos pero falta ajuste ninguno como la gente
Nice Old children
free flight, WTF.
LOL!
