I cant build my own models...but I love Johns videos so, er, yeah. :)

Lovely, just lovely and the Tchaikovsky waltz was perfect for that kind of flying. Inspiring and enriching.

John....Another beautiful flight and again my favorite music, but I got to thinking where would we all be without the beautiful work by the camera lady she brings poetry to the whole thing my hat is off to her. Thank You.

pure poetry in motion, you are such a lucky man, you have a very beautiful place where to fly your RC gliders.

Another graceful sky ride. Thanks Mr. W.

That's gorgeous! How can ten people be so soulless as to mark this down?

Cornwall and model flying, heaven.

Majestic machine, and perfect choice of music !

Another beautiful video. You know your planes well and you've got a fabulous flying spot which you also know very well. Your videos are a treat! Thank you!

Always wonderful vintage stuff qualifies you for the Dave Thornburg Old Buzzard award . Lived in England late 80s flew every slope I could find. Best spots in the world.

beautiful music, flying and setting. always a treat your videos!

This one makes the Bird of Time look small. Can you imagine a thermal taking this for miles across the countryside and a whole group of boys given the task of running after it and keeping it in sight. It is one magnificent plane😀👍👍👍

The very definition of what flying is all about. You always pick the perfect color scheme for the airplane!

Ach! Pilot and camera operator brilliant as always! Beautiful!

Far from the Madding Crowd. Majestic!

Those "wing tip" turns Wow and nearly a touch and go 😊 well dun beautiful model! Thanks for sharing!

Great job, my goodness that plane flies so gracefully. Excellent 👍

Fabulous. I have a Thermalist somewhere in my garage. Around 1982 I did something very similar to you, flying it for a 2.5hr flight off Swyre Head overlooking the Purbeck coastline. A beautiful gentle to fly glider - bigger is definitely better. We didnt have youtube or HD cameras then or I might have video'd the flight for youtube ha ha.

@@SlopeRCGliders Thank you kindly sir! I love your flying site too. Around here, Austin, Texas, there are some place, but the landings are difficult. It's fine once you get used to it, but I've seen people with really expensive (and competition pilots) bring their planes and crash them on landing. It's like you have a perfect flying site and with perfect planes. You don't, by chance, have a 4-meter ASW-22 Robbe, do ya? It's been out of production for sometime, but I'd love to buy one If I find one (unbuilt). All of your videos are so relaxing to watch, this one gave me goose bumps! Thank you for the offer, if I make over the pond I'll visit (and fly your plane(s)). Thank you sir!

Very nice plane again! Something to be said: You really master the art of 2 axis model flying. Whatever the kind of tail, the size of the rudder, your planes are flying perfectly. I guess center of gravity does play a big part of it too.

And lots of dihedral helps. It's cool in the tight turns at 1:05 where the outer panel is close to level and it;s almost pivoting on the tips or so it seems.

Beautiful

Easy to see why the Thermalist was designed that way. The dihedral section maintains so much lift even in tight circles!!!

Perfect, its amazing man

Beauty, a marvel to my mind! I think of those pricks calling our RC hobby a ... drone hobby. Outrageous ...

that enormous dihedral is really smart!

Ah, my heart's delight!

So graceful and fantastic. I've nearly always loved planes and helicopters. Got loads of radio controlled ones with engine's. I so need a large lightweight glider like yours. I've made complete wings before and put plenty of plane kits together. I'm pretty sure I could make a lightweight glider. Great video. I've subscribed 👍

Magnificient bird great job .put build videos also

I'm old enough to remember when these designs were state of the art [sigh]. It took me years to figure out why they had cranked wings or a ton of dihedral - often both. Early RC was bang-bang single channel (rubber band driven servo turning 90degrees) sometimes rudder/elevator working off single channel. Much as you seem to do these days, the a/c was turned using rudder. When I grew out of short trousers and started flying lessons I had a shock - 'real' aeroplanes use the rudder to yaw, and ailerons to bank-turn the a/c. These lovely old-timer model aircraft had to be super stable laterally, so the rudder could make them 'go round corners'. Best wishes from Lunnon!

Travelbugse28 thank you for watching. The dihedral on this plane certainly seems to confuse a lot of people! Several people have said that they would flatten it out to improve the lift, but in my eyes it defeats the object of building an old design. The dihedral makes it super stable yet still able to turn around its wingtip without stalling.

So slow, stable and relaxing. Head on shots looked like a slight misalignment of wing and hor Stab. Maybe my eyesight or wing with rubber bands, didn’t affect flight at all. In Oz, that dog may have been a dingo. Lol Another very enjoyable video, thanks for sharing John.

Keith Jenkin the tail would be really vulnerable on landing if it was fixed in place. I do need to make some slightly modifications to it, because if it moves forward or backwards on it’s seat, it effectively makes the control rod longer or shorter and moves the trim out.
