First ROG

Rubber Powered Free Flight replica of Emmanuel Fillon's 1937 Wakefield winner. Fillon won the Wakefield - Endurance Trophy with a bird like this on 1 August 1937 at Fairey's Aerodrome in London (now better known as Heathrow).

    Absolutely superb. You make building and flying those things an art form. This plane looks and acts more like an insect than an aircraft. Beautiful.

    When I was a little kid, I spent two weeks building a rubber band powered airplane. I tuned it, did small test and then I proceeded to wind it up all the way. I was full up excitement and let it go. It flew perfectly. Up, then strait, then up, then strait.... Over the houses and out of site. I never sow it again.

    I would make tissue paper hot air balloons. One flight only. I know the feeling.

    Really impressive in many aspects! The model looks very interesting and has a beautiful flight! It would be nice to see a review of your portable workshop well as how you braid motors. I would like to build once a rubber powered model that actually flies! Thank you for sharing!

    Many thanks. I would like to bring a vid about the trailer and case and also a detailed one about the rubber braiding. BUT there is a problem: I only speak the bare minimum of English without a translation programme! So I prefer to make flight videos.

    @@rubberflyWell I only speak a minimal amount of Schwizertitsch Mundart (enough to understand your grumbling about the change in wind direction!), but I think much of your “art” transcends spoken word and images convey 90% of what you are doing. But I admit, the crucial 10% may need subtitles. In any case, I really appreciate what you do post and I think you are a real credit to the community.

    Congratulations! I',ve never seen a model constructed in this way before, with the fuselage upper sides at 45° to the underside of the wing.

    FANTASTIC!!!🤗 BRILLIANT FLIGHTS!!!😃 VERY NICE MODEL, ACCURATELY BUILT AND FLOWN!!!😎 CONSISTENT FLIGHT PATTERN...🤓 WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF THIS MODEL?! (SPANWISE, WEIGHT,...) AND THE SIZE OF RUBBER AS WELL... YOU SAID YOU USED A "HALF MOTOR" FOR TORQUE AND TURNS!!!?🤔🤔🤔 I CAN SEE FROM THE VID WHEN YOU HOLD AND SHOW THE "MOTOR" IN YOUR HANDS THAT YOUR RUBBER HAS A COMPLEX BRAIDING PATTERN WITH MANY LOOPS!!!🤓 HOW DOES IT AFFECT THE FLIGHT IN GENERAL AND HOW COULD IT PREVENT THE MODEL TO FLIGH AWAY DESPITE THE FULL TORQUE AND TURNS?!🤔 WHY DONT YOU USE A THIN & LIGHT PLYWOOD BOARD OR EVEN A LONG WIDE BALSA STRIP AS A RUNWAY INSTEAD OF PLASTIC?🤔 IT COULD FIT AS WELL ON YOUR BICYCLE!!!🚵😉 COOL MUSIC AS USUAL!!!🎼😉 BRAVO ET MERCI DE NOUS FAIRE PARTAGER VOTRE PASSION!😊 BIS BALD!!!😉
