Thank you so much for persevering with the Burnelli. I love your patience and understanding of that innovative machine. You really are lucky to have such a flying field, and thanks again for the amazing video.

Amazing aircraft by an amazing builder.

I'm going to take this up. Zen like. No noise. Thoughtful.And the serene music that just comes from nowhere? I'm in.

Fantastic builds...fantastic flights...fantastic videos....thank you for sharing the experience .

Brilliant Tom, I remember thinking it looked like it wanted to go left, so glad you gave it a try... wow what a day and what a fantastic pair of flying wings .

Thank you so much.Both planes are really interesting builds

With it's planar configuration and double rudder, this Burnelli Twin really shows how thermals do so much more than just aiding lift! The DT works beautifully, it's great to see the plane coming back in that realistic and gradated way. The Boeing Delta is one of my favourite planes I've seen Tom; there's such an air of solidity about that big fuselage, really magical. Most enjoyable as ever, thank you Sir! 🌟👍

it's so magical when a model catches a thermal. nice flights!

Marvellous, thank you! When I flew rubber, if there was a loud FERTWAAANGG!!, the immediate cry would go up..."Back off one turn!" 😁 These vids are starting the itch again

Beautiful flying! Wow!!

This is my favorite plane (the Burnelli) you've built on the channel.

Your videos are so relaxing to watch!! Also love the subjects you model, not the run of the mill stuff. Your craftsmanship is also superb. Can't wait for another video!!

Awesome!

Hi Tom! Your trimming videos are so enjoyable! Seem to learn something new every time! That Burnelli is getting up there very nicely! Like the DT setup, too! Always nice to see the Boeing! Have a nice holiday!

WHAT A VIDEO, AGAIN!!!!😉 INCREDIBLE FLIGHTS!😃 2 FANTASTIC MODELS!!!🤗 SMOOTH FLIGHT PATTERNS EVEN INTO BUMPY THERMALS... I WISHED THE 306 HAD PICKED UP A LITTLE BIT MORE ALTITUDE THOUGH!😶 BUT YOUR TRIMMINGS ARE JUST PERFECT!🤓👌 PROPS TO YOU MONSIEUR!!!👏👍😊😎

Great idea, i have read just about everything Burnelli did. As a former Commercial pilot I wish FDR did not put a govt law mandate out against burnelli that NO govt agency or contractor can buy or sell to Burnelli. Safety is not first, Greed was and ego. The jet designs were beautiful.

Thx, I agree. It's unfortunate that it didn't turn out better for Burnelli, allowing the designs and production to follow thru. I'm totally in love with the way the model looks against the blue as it's coming around. Imagine to have seen similar, on a regular basis, with a fleet of full-sized aircraft.

Very cool 😎

Hi Tom, The Burnelli sure was getting some air. I think you have it dialed in now. Can't tell if the mods to the Boeing made any improvements. Looking forward to next adventure.

Great flying airplane! But I have always wondered why more FAC fliers don’t use a tracking system. There are transmitters small enough to be used on birds and bats. Most planes need some ballast anyway, and the model could be built to have an enclosed tracker where the weight would do some good. I did a demo at Geneseo, taped a transmitter to George Bredehoft’s embryo. Wind shifted and it went pretty far into the corn. I had a guy on the antenna who had never used a tracker, while I worked the controls on the receiver. We got the plane and we were out of the corn in about ten minutes. The embryo could not be seen until we got within a couple of feet. The time and effort to build such a gem and trim it out adds up to a lot. Seems silly to just throw all that away if it flies OOS.

ooooooooooooooooo yeeaah

Great flights! One question: How is the DT activated? Viscous? Mechanical? Fuse?

Talking there about maximum turns on the motor, have you witnessed an airframe 'implode' during winding? (hope not!) Loving the vid as always.

Only once, and that was with a blast tube in place. The torque was so strong, it ripped the tube out the right side of the frame on my rather lightly structured 1911 Bleriot XXV pusher canard. I've since installed a plate attached securely to the stooge, which prevents the side movement of the blast tube.

Two of my favourites. Was the Boeing ever built? I know Northrop built many flying wings, including the original blended body Avion-1 which was much more similar to the Burnelli with it's twin tail booms and offset cockpit. I kinda wish you'd have honoured Jack Northrop for his pioneering work in this configuration especially after the tragic loss of the N-9MB in 2019. As a cleaner design, lacking the detached elevons and wing tip rudders, if you were able to make it work, I'm sure it would outperform the Boeing.

The drag of the canopy may create a left turn. Its weight also may favor a left turn. Is the CG off center to the left?
