I built a 2m span foam electric model off of this Airsail plan. Bought the kitset and scaled it up, constructed out of white foam and powered her with a 2820 brushless. Flew straight off the building board. I had never built a plane before let alone a rubber powered one. Great machines and - MCK I still see.

It's amazing how clean your table stays during the build. Mine always seems to be covered in trimmings, dust and glue the second I start.

Thx. Feels good to be back in the flow.

Beautiful… thank you… I have about a million models left to build and fly.

In watching your videos, it is difficult to demarcate between craftsmanship and art. Perhaps there is no distinction, and all this falls under the category of magic. Thank you for sharing your passion.

Beautiful! I'll have to re-watch several times. Much to see and learn in this one. Thanks for lifting the lid and showing us all those techniques. Years of patient and scientific research here.

you're showing all your "secrets" in this video, Tom. But the real secret is patience, time, and attention to detail. Your skill-level is intimidating!

ha...no secrets for sure. But yes, time. Losing ourselves, as time allows, with balsa is probably the best thing many of us could do in these unusual times.

Thank you. I'm really enjoying what you do and how you do it. You are a great encourager to me.

What a perfect flight! and a beautiful model, congrats!!

BEAUTIFUL built... BEAUTIFUL flyer 😊👍

Simply beautiful.

Another Hallman Masterpiece! Hard to determine what is more enjoyable: watching you build it or watching it fly. Both incredible. Thank you for sharing.

A video of a True Craftsman and excellent flyer...thank you for sharing ...should be added to the Freeflight Hall Of Fame!

Unspeakable beauty！！

You truly have mastered the art

So pure, so beautiful, so relaxing. Just perfect in every way. I wish I had the time, skill and patience to accomplish even one tenth of what do. Amazing videos. Please keep them coming😃👍

Well that's pretty cool! I haven't done so yet, but I should take a photo of the model on the snow that's still in our backyard. I'm surprised that I hadn't thought of that earlier. Although, if I lived closer, I would have loved to have flown this bird over the fields at Wawayanda, covered in snow from recent weeks. Thx again for the comments & kind words.

Beautiful.

The videos showing the parts of the model during the built were great. Did I already told your building skills are amazing? Yes? Ok, so let me tell again. A M A Z I N G. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

No, it's a combo of various iPhones for the still shots, and the 10 year old Canon PowerShot SX20 IS for the film. Although I did find a 'new' used one at Mercari.com for around $80 so I snagged it. Works terrific for F/F. Just quickly checked and there are a few there now for around the same price. Thx, the family is doing fine. Thx for the words of support.

Hi wonderful job ... these planes do you build as a hobby or produce for sale too? I am Brazilian, too bad that here in Brazil there are not many specialized stores. congratulations one more time!

Amazing work, it's beautiful ! I have a question : Why a separate control for the elevator ? Wouldn't it be simpler with a unique control for the elevator and a small rudder movement ?

@maxfliart

3 жыл бұрын

The pivot for the elevator is for the dethermalizer, or DT, which is attached to a timer. Helps knock her out of a thermal and the potential flyaway. The for the question.

Really nice job. Please share how you handle the under chamber of the wing. At first I thought you may have drawn the line detail prior to covering but as you proceeded I realized the lines are very dense. Did you use a printer? Please also tell me how you created the white decal areas.

Thx Roy. Check around the 5:40 mark. That's where I show the use of the Copic pen on top of the flattened tissue. It's much easier to do it there rather than on the covered model. It's just a simple matter of making light pencil registration marks for the LE & TE to position it correctly on the frame. The white lettering on the nose was made with inkjet. I printed red around the lettering onto white tissue. I then sprayed the back of that tissue white to make it even more opaque. Once I attached the strip to the red area of the fuselage with a glue stick, I went back in with thinned red paint to match that of the red tissue. Here's a shot of that tissue and tail logo. You can see that it wasn't exactly the same red, but I cut the strips very close to the lettering, which minimized how much I needed to retouch the red tissue. hallmanstudio.com/WhiteType.jpg

I have watched all of your videos and gathered much inspiration to build better models. In this video you mention the "hard to find Micro-x tissue". I have tried to find it. You're right, it is hard to find. Where can it be found?

Thousands of flights. With the majority looking like they are on rails maybe you don't have the problem but for the rest of us another instructional video about installing and keeping struts in place would be fantastic. One question, what camera are you carrying with you as you narrate and start hand launched flights?

Om cara biar plannya jadi 16 inch gmn om ?, atau kalo boleh mau minta plannya yang udah 16 inch

Which airfoil do you use?

@maxfliart

3 жыл бұрын

I can't give you a specific airfoil, only that it was closer to what you would see on a Gollywock, than on the original Porter. So I backed way off after it was covered, and filled in most of it, leaving the bottom of the wing nearly flat, aft the main spar. Here's a link showing the adjustment. hallmanstudio.com/Porter_undercamber.jpg

@@maxfliart Thanks! I have been working with airfoils (Human powered aircraft and free flight) since one or two years now, and sadly I am still searching for the 'perfect' airfoil for my scale models. Did you try to fly it with the camber? It should perform better than with a flat bottom. The problem is, one could get quite a bit of performance out of the usual airfoils, but sadly only if you turbulate the flow (eg a wire just above the surface). This is ugly and not at all scale, so not too useful (unless you don't mind losing a few points).

@@toonverbruggen7351 pick up Harry Riblett's book on General Aviation Airfoils. It has several series of high lift, stall resistant, airfoils. I prefer Ricketts GU613.5 and GU615. Very stable, small under camber.

@@toonverbruggen7351 Thx for the insight. No, I didn't fly her with the camber, mainly because I realized how far away it was from even the original aircraft's, regardless of tweaking it for free-flight. So I gave in to the unfortunate realization to undo what I had already done. She flies beautifully, so I feel it was a good move. Typically I build a Dave Rees style sliced rib wing, with the flat bottom. Simple, clean and effective for free-flight. It would be interesting for sure to try different wings, is it could be an easy on & off, to fly under the same conditions.

@@davidfranklin5270 Just a quick internet search: I think that the general aviation airfoils are for higher reynolds numbers. Model aircraft have to use way different ones. Some of them might work if they are turbulated, I don't know if you are doing that?
