Experience the joy of rubber powered model aircrafts. Stick and tissue models need craftsmanship and perseverance rather than a lot of material and money to be successful. On this channel I would like to present handmade models that hopefully fly well.

Flying Mustang P-51D Rubber powered free flight
I wish people would be more accurate. This is NOT a normal Pipert J-3 Cub; this is a CLIPPED WING J-3, specifically the Reed Conversion once popular as an entry level aerobatic ship. And for those who don't know, what makes it suitable for competition aerobatics is NOT that it can do the maneuvers, it is that you can make a bad.mistake and not DIE, because suitable control stops have been included to keep from damaging control surfaces during accidental tail slides. If you make a scale J-3 out of this kit, the span goes to 15" which.means it is no longer a Peanut. So please- don't be sloppy with what you call it- you might mislead someone into thinking the kit will yield a normal J-3 when in fact it won't.
Thanks for this information. I was not aware of that. I have adapted the video description.
I really like your plane transport system!
Salut c'est bon
you might wat to put some soft tubing over your motor hook
Thanks - That certainly wouldn't do any harm. Fortunately, with 80% maximum turns, I haven't had any rubber cracks yet.
I'm just finishing constructing my P51 from the Vintage Model Company. Watching him wind up the rubber band I had no idea that is how it is supposed to be done ! Pity he didn't show some of the construction and trimming it up before his first flight. It's amazing how far it can fly just with a rubber band.
Thanks - it's already old video of mine.
Thanks for the Video, it Seems, that I missed this Special Event… sure, I will Mark the Date for our next Meeting! Great Event, congratulation❤
Número of this model....hace a building plan?
cool 😎
Fun event, nice airplanes, good field
I have seen plans for those butterflies but never thought they would fly like that. Added to my list. Thanks for spreading the good times!
They fly incredibly well! Mine were built a bit bigger with slightly better propellers. Flown in the video with a good 600 turns, so only half of what would be possible. My older video of the collection : th-cam.com/video/lDR-ZDYsO6A/w-d-xo.html
Great party! Would love to have something like this in Hamburg!
What a great video a group of total strangers with a common interest gather together to have a fun day in the sun and make new friends. That’s what it is all about, an activity that brings youngsters of all ages together in an activity every one can afford and enjoy. Best of luck to all pilots as they learn to build, tweak and most of all enjoy the hobby.
What a great comment! Thanks for that 😁
Looks like a lot of fun! I am somehow very attracted to the rubber powered models, but I just can't get them to fly. I probably don't try enough. Thank you for sharing!
Don’t give up, perhaps it’s the particular model you’re building and how you build it. Weight is everything the lighter the better its chances it will fly. Also learning how to trim a model once built makes a lot of difference. There are TH-cam videos showing how to build and trim basics for beginners. Watch and learn. Most of all it’s about the enjoyment of the build and having fun best of luck to you
Laughter and smiles need no translation. Thank you for sharing.
Great !
Thank you for sharing everyone having a great time...thats what modeling is about...beautiful county.
Nice little contest!!!😉 I wish I had some friends who share the same eager interest and enthusiasm for free-flying rubber powered model aircrafts!🙁 Great and fun moment! With friends!!😉😎
Are plans available for the helicopter type models?

One survived the dreaded 180 degree turn, right back onto the runway 😂
Brilliant! What a great idea to share it in the mix with Tom Hallman's cool TH-cam channel.
Thanks! The idea with the mix is probably from youtube. I think it's fitting, of course!
Yes! And... ummm... in actual fact... I confused YOUR TH-cam channel with Tom's channel! I confused your name "rubberfly" with his "maxfliart"! 🤪😸
003 this is a weird model. it is Longer than its wingspan.!
Wunderschön! 😊
Danke! 😁
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.
Great idea. How do you construct your props (4 bladed for example)? Do you have any video? I would be very interested to see one. Thanks again for sharing.
You can see a little of it in this video from the EKW C-3603 : th-cam.com/video/Hruw5LkHLqw/w-d-xo.html
@@rubberfly Thanks. I will implement one with balsa blades and bamboo shaft, and see what happens :-))
homesick angel
That was fun to watch!!
Thank you 😁
nice
Beautiful... Almost meditative. Thanks. BR, Per (Denmark)
Thank you 😁
Beautiful model and excellent video production.
Thank you 😁
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.
Impressive. I don't know that feeling (yet).
I would make tissue paper hot air balloons. One flight only. I know the feeling.
Superb !Congrats and cheers from France !
@@eriklapparent4662 Merci beaucoup ! Malheureusement, je ne connais pas encore la scène du vol libre en France. Il y a certainement de bons sites de vol là-bas 😃
Bravo. Thank you for renewing my childhood memories of free flight and the magical moments of a successful one. I'll be getting my Wakefield model out of storage now.
Thanks, I'm glad about that!
Beautifully made planes and video. As a radio flyer, I admire your courage in sending your creations into the unknown 😁😁
Thank you 😁
very nice. Jack Tisinai built one which flew well back about 25 years ago.
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.
Excellent build and flight! Thank You!
Thank you so much,,as I watched the video, I stepped back in time to great memories.
LEGEND ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sungguh sangat indah 👍👍🥰🥰
amazing
Wunderschön, einfach wunderschön! Grüße aus Australien
A beautiful and dramatic flying airplane.
This is the purest form of aeromodeling art!! Kudos!!
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.
Superb video work and beautiful flying... love it!
Thank you 😁

Thank you for sharing your hard work ..excellent flying model...I really like the stick and tissue models..their design..looks..and flying ability...our fore fathers knew what they were doing back then...hope to see more of them...
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!!!😉
Wonderful, congrats!!!❤❤❤
Excellent 👌🏼
