OMG! This made my day. Thanks,Tom! I did have to take a moment between watching the first and second times through to pop over to thegeebee.com and pick up a copy of the plan. You've really channeled your inner Dave Rees this time. The plan is as beautiful as the finished model, and how cool is it that two Toms came together to bring the plan to the public?

Thx, Jason. Dave Rees has been on my mind throughout this entire project. Very pleased that TN2 came through to help with the plan. Seeing it printed is a reminder of how large this model is. Enrique might build a peanut version!!

Beautifully built. Beautifully flown and landed.

What a beautiful model. Made with love and expertise. Lovely flyer and the video of the flight is superb!

FAB...........SO REAL AS IT WAS.

Many thanks for making this package available.

This video, and what it represents ..... is quite an achievement. Excellent music. Just amazing high quality content that is both educational and inspirational on many levels.

amazing!! youre not just making models..you raise this hobby to a different level

A thing of beauty...!!!

THANKS THAT WAS, GREAT, MAKES THIS MONDAY BEARABLE!! FOR SURE, HAVE A GREAT ONE ALSO!!

Man that's some nice music especially at flying time right on man

What a beautiful labor of love!! Wow, I really enjoyed watching this…thanks so much for posting, beautiful background music as well. That really helped to make it extra special!

Absolutely superb in every respect. Thank you.

That, is great looking model plane and really good photography of it flying.

Wow. Just wow. When I was 10 my uncle bought me a guillows spitfire. I had it ready to cover and was pretending to fly it...through a door way. I was so upset at the destruction I never fixed or finished it. Not at 47 working on a guillows Cessna 170. I hope to make it actually able to fly....no chance at your skill or quality!! Love it!

Absolutely stunning

Exquisite skill and craftmanship. Wow. Thanks so much for sharing.

It's quite fascinating. The building techniques I have to watch over and over. The tail assembly particularly. Just everything really. Thanks for putting it out to help us as advance.

This was your plane that got me interested into Free Flight, simply beautiful.

Gorgeous.... just gorgeous...

That was amazing... A masterpiece. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful!

What a fantastic shot at the end...surreal slow turning propeller with the planes shadow reaching up to catch it. Amazing. Wow. Spiritual.

Beatutiful airplane, and great to watch your accuracy in building. Thanks :)

Wow I'm totally fan of this one 😍

Always amazed by your beautiful work and peaceful conveyance. As soon as I retire, not too long from now, I strive to restart this hobby I had 50 years ago, of course with the poor quality results that a child of yore without guidance could have. Luckily it planted a seed that at my 40s could become a dream come true, I became a private pilot, and for ten years enyojed flying many single engine types and my own plane, a PA-22 Tri-Pacer even older than myself. Thank you so much for your videos.

Just gorgeous!!

Thanks for the quality of your content, your skills and your passion that you put in your video. It's a pleasure to watch. Keep going mate. Hello from 🇨🇵

What a beautiful video. Excellent!

So inspiring. Broke my back paragliding few years back. Max you’ve given me back the joy of flight. I’ve built and successfully flown my first model in 40 years - Keillor Kraft Ace. I hope one day to be able to build and fly something as beautiful as your Babcock. Can’t thank you enough. Watching your videos is helping me recover not just the joy of flight but a sense of peace.

Very pretty aircraft and a flawless build. Classic construction in this day of arfs.

Beautiful. I wish I had a field large enough. These planes just lift the spirit.

Always a big smile over here, yours is an example of doing seeminly ordinary things really well. As a result it elevates the whole to a next level, you are special, in a good way. A very good way.

Thanks for sharing. I love these start to finish videos and I appreciate the inspiration and hints of building you give.

Wonderful work!

Fantastic model and video!!!

Absolutely fantastic video.

Bravo! Absolutely brilliant craftsmanship.

A joy to watch and the music just tops it off.

Amazing masterclass in model building.

How cool!

Artful cinematography, superb craftsmanship and classic balsa model airplanes; what's not to like here? The peaceful Babcock trimming flights were a joy to watch, too.

I admire and envy you like those girls at my school, that not only were really good students but also their notebooks were perfect and admired by all the teachers! Thanks for showing that perfection can be achieved. Saludos!!

she is a beauty in flight, and not so bad in person if you know what i mean. stunning in structure. your covering technique is par none. the mix here kind of takes me out to the reality of life. everyone should see this. i'm going to share it for mental health. love this keep it up!

I've built a lot of model airplanes and sometimes I think I'm pretty good at it. When I watch one of your videos, I know that I can be one hell of a lot better. Inspiration work. Bravo.

Thank You for building this. You’ve taken a design that wasn’t elegant and showed what the builder had in his mind. You’ve also shown the world how to build it. I’m an old modeler but always learn from your build videos. The flight is proof of concept and gives us an idea of why light is right! Love the music

Wow, that's an art!

So beautiful it's a same to cover it!

My goodness you’re one hell of a talented guy , absolutely wonderful video throughout thank you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

My word! Another triumph!.Bravo!

Building any models even plastic is history now. My older brother built balsa wood models like this, cutting out the blue lined parts ... ...many years ago.

Magnificent!

What a beautiful work of art and engineering, and what a well balanced bird in the air! Never saw before such a magnificent rubber band powered model plane. Congratulations and many thanks for posting it.

Beautiful build, beautiful flight! Thank you!

ahhhh, the good ole days.

Another work of art..... superb !

If I had to choose one video to show why Tom Hallman is #1 rubber powered scale aeromodeler in the world, it might well be this. I have seen every category of builder/flyer in 61 years on this planet, and I guess rubber power scale is my fave. This leaves me SPEECHLESS, which is a not inconsiderable relief, no doubt, to those who know me well.. I certainly HAVE checked out the louvres vid; I esp like the bit where you get uniformity in the ends of the slots with the round section thing, and hardening up the backs with ca glue.. Everything seems simple, but only once a Master has explained it.. A bit like violin technique. 👍

Awesome!!!! I want to build one now!!!!!

Thank you so much for this post. Your skills as a you tube content creator are only exceed by your good looks, your model building quality and your ability to trim and fly these aircraft so well.

Superb looking aircraft and a great bit of video, i enjoyed it so much i am now seriously thinking of buying the plan and constructing one myself. Thanks for that bit of encouragement.

Thx, Peter. She's been an enjoyable and memorable flyer in the fleet. I hadn't known of her before, so it was satisfying to give her life again.

Spectacular! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent in every aspect, thank you

Thank you for sharing your great experience, your knowledges about modeling, like the lighter technics to make parts from cardboard, foam, with self-made tools, plus the precious websites links, etc... I don't have your building level but this is inspiring to create some parts of my models. Even the choice of the Babcock LC-13 is original, beautiful, with a building structure very close to the real aviation. At the end we can see this forgotten bird take to the air with majesty, like in a dream...Gorgeous...

Beautiful build, wow 🤩

This is fantastic!

Perfect, as usual !

Beautiful beautiful workmanship. If I could build half as good as you I would be a very happy man.

What a delight. Thank you.

Amazing craftsmanship as usual. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful as usual. Thanks for sharing the video and the plan.

Thank you for sharing. your artful skills and flying.

Breathtaking, Tom. Your attention to detail in the build, and then the gorgeous flight. Thanks so much for sharing!

Wow! What a masterful job of creating this model. It flys as good as it looks, too. This reminds me of my model building back in the 1950's but I never built anything this complex or as GOOD! It was sure fun though and gave me hours of pleasure. I can almost smell the balsa, Ambroid glue and dope. It taught me patience, imagination and basic skills, something my grandson's video games lack. Your video shows the construction very well; I enjoyed it very much.

Once again, I am mesmerized by your skill and attention to detail. I have the Stahl Hurricane fuselage on my building board and it looks pitiful! Maybe I should stick with laser cut kits and leave scratch building for the pro's. I say that and I have three Easy Build kits in various stages of completion. I keep snapping the fuselages with those 1/16 longerones.

Beautiful. I dream of having your simple precision. Your sense of perfection. I want to do what you do. I think I should start by building something simple.

Absolutely gorgeous! I wish there were still some fields around here large enough to warrant some interest in free-flight. It's hard enough finding one big enough to fly a park flyer R/C. Which, come to think of it, that would make an easy conversion. And it's not a Cub! Helloooo, Paypal.
