FLY INDOORS! With the Glastonbury Modelers. December 17, 2023

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The Glastonbury Modelers are a group of free flight aircraft enthusiasts that fly gliders and rubber powered models at the Glastonbury High School Gym located at Glastonbury, CT. Throughout the fall and winter, we gather once a month to fly our models. This video is a collection of models flying from our third session of the 2023/24 season. Our next flying session will be held on January 7, 2024, a full day of flying including an AMA sanctioned contest. Our full schedule can be found at the end of the video.
The "One-Design" event plan for the several models seen in the video can be found here: www.modelaviation.com/ff-scal...

    You're welcome Joedy. Very nice to meet you and Lisa. You couldn't have hooked up with a better mentor than John G. He's a great guy and always willing to help. We have a great group of flyers and always have fun. Look forward to seeing you in January.

    Well done John and another great video. I have literally been consuming your videos and particularly enjoy the interchange with the modelers about their planes, almost feel as if I know them. Also am using your videos as inspiration to develop a flying group here in my community and the other surrounding communities. Thanks again for a great video and looking forward to the January episode. Mike

    Thanks for the great comment, Mike. Glad my videos are providing some inspiration. Interesting you point out the interchange with the modelers. One of the things I'm trying to share is that this hobby is more than just building and flying model airplane. There is a personal aspect. We have so many talented modelers flying with us, and each one has their own story. So, I agree with you, hearing the modeler chat about their projects and flying is important. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance to help set up flying opportunities for you. Thanks for watching.

    @@Watchingthevideos99 of course it is a huge inspiration. I build rubber band planes as well and I have also posted a few videos, but my building skills and flying times are nowhere near this.

    Please give us closeups of the models. The high quality of the modelers work is worthy of close inspection.

    Thank you. A good comment. You'll see in a few of my other videos I do get some close-up shots, but I admit I didn't do that much this time. I'll work on that! Thanks for watching.
