I can watch this stuff for hours.. don’t know what it is but I love this stuff

It’s relaxing.

While I've been aware of CO2 power for some decades, until today I'd never heard one. Thanks for educating me.

Free flight is awesome and has the best modelers, in my opinion, where weight and trim are paramount.

Always a pleasure to watch these. Keep them coming

Old boys and their toys, very enjoyable, thanks. Used to fly RC park flyers in the gym in winter time when I couldn’t fly fullscale gliders.

Your Cocquette is fabulous 👍.

Free flight is to me the ultimate aeromodeling skill. I've built flying models since I was 10 including rubber free flight, control line and RC from small to giant scale; old guy now. The smaller they are the more difficult they are.

Lovely; thank you for putting this together and sharing.

Great clip Chris. 👍

I can’t wait til he’s finished the “Peace Maker.”😆

Love the Flitzer!

That Blackburn Dart was really more into practicing its carrier landings rather than flying around!

I have formed the opinion that as a model, the biplane does not offer the same advantages it did to a full scale aircraft. The extra lift of the 2 wings is negated by the extra drag of them and their struts. Believe it is because if the renolds number principal, that the model is flying in a thinner air at the molecular level. There is less lift available but the drag coefficient is still there. Notice the biplanes fly faster and glide less. Fly a model triplane, dr1, and you find it has a worse glide rate than a biplane. Lots of drag

As an RC biplane enthusiast, the minimum wing chord is around 4 inches for Reynolds number to be effective. I've read other statements to that say the same.

@@M5guitar1 in layman's terms this is the reason the tail surfaces of your model are larger in proportion to the rest of the airplane compared to full size aircraft. This is obvious even down to small .049 size models. Reynolds numbers is the reason scale models are harder to fly and the reason they make semi scale models where are they have made larger tail surfaces. The relative to size thing I don't get that. The smaller the size the worse the effect

What about weight? I should imagine biplanes are heavier than monoplanes. And account for biplanes travelling faster.

Superb !!!

You guys are really good at this model airplane stuff .

wonderfull, congrats from chile

Trinity Flyers (except the Viking...)

Very pleasant times when I built mini planes

3:15 if that bomber looking plane could fly it would be really sick

Check this video at 9'05" taken one week later kzread.info/dash/bejne/aK1_tqxsibS-YtI.html

Does it actually fly? For all we know, it might as well be a Revell model with electric motors.

It has had a short flight outside but the hall here was a bit too small for it. It's built for the UK Indoor Nationals which are next weekend so look out for a flying video of it then

Lovely aircraft. But what about the Viking? Does it fly?

Yes it does, its built for the UK Indoor Nationals which are this coming weekend I'll try to get some it flying

what did you cover the model with ?

qual a escala desse modelo?

Tight turns required but nice ceiling hight.

Bv 222 Viking

How do those work - as they're not RC? :0)

The models are carefully trimmed to fly in circle using a combination of rudder, aileron (often just wing warps) and thrust line so they stay within the confines of the hall. It can be tricky to get right but very rewarding when you do

The German pronunciation is just the same as the English. A 'w' in German is pronounced 'v'.

And a 'V' is pronounced as 'F', as in the war criminal Verner fon Brrown (Werner von Braun).
