Very nice. I found a kit in an antique store about 20 years ago. I thought it was missing parts. Recently I opened it up and noticed that it was only missing the plans. I ordered them and now im building my Blazer

How did you remove the water rudder?

Yes , it is a Comet Clipper Mk 1 . And flown properly as a free flight model and not compromised by radio !

I have the brodak version with an os .10, they’ve done away with the sheeting. it’s OK.

I started with a Carl Goldberg Swordsman kit in the mid 1960s and that started the control line airplane phase of my life. Built and flew lots of control line planes and eventually got into combat competitions which was the most exciting control line event. Moved on to RC and built and flew those for many years (there were no ARFs back then so you either built a kit or scratch built). Got my private pilots license and built my own homebuilt experimental aircraft in my garage, a Stoddard Hamilton Glasair RG. Flew that all over the country for nine years and got old. These days I just build model trains and fly drones. www.youtube.com/@donfeight2967

Love it. I made a throw glider many years ago with a Girl Scout group. It was made out of meat trays and pine for the body. It worked well. Keep up the good work.

The deadly ‘figure 9’.

very cool!

Nice flying Bill and plenty pf spectators - feathered and otherwise.

Plenty of revs,steady note,and tight lines. Excellent

Beautiful slope soaring 🪂

Bill, looks like fun on the slope.

You have an audience!

You need to add some technology gps latitude langitud elavation

Cool 👍

Brilliant Bill.

I built this exact kit (rubber band powered) when I was about about 12 or 13 (1970s). Was one of my biggest accomplishments. Started with vertical stabilizer and did not go well (took all day). doubted I was capable of completing it . Nice to see a gas powered version.

ditch the extra weight and install a KB .19 engine… snappier performance

320 has an amazing glide. I was very impressed with mine.

It was going down hard, but hit the grass and it seemed to bounce back up enough to glide out onto the lawn. You could hear the grass strike. Amazing!

On the positive side, you got it back with no damage 👍👍😁😁

And that's why we can't have nice things...

Reminds me of something that happened when I was in school. There were two adult men who built and flew model airplanes, but whenever I went over to see what they were doing, they told me to beat it. One of them lived across the T at the end of the street. One day I was mowing the front lawn when I heard an engine start up. I walked out to the curb and saw them coming out of the garage. One of them launched an airplane. It came straight down the center of the street, gaining altitude slowly. After a while they looked at each other and started running after the plane. By the time it got to my location about half way down the street it was at the level of the street lights, still going. A while later they ran up and I heard one of them ask "Did you light the fuse?" The other answered "No, I though you did." They stopped and watched the plane. I considered running into the garage and getting out my bicycle, but decided I would not be able to catch up with the plane, the nearest road that would continue in that direction was about a half mile away. I could still hear the motor running, but it was so far away I lost sight of it, still climbing and heading over the Santa Cruz mountains. I've often wondered where it came down. How fast was it going, how long would the gas last? Would it come down this side of the mountains or would it clear the summit and come down somewhere in Santa Cruz County? Maybe make it into town, or even land in the Pacific Ocean.

I have one and I loved. Also with floats fly amazing in lacs in Canada..

Did the plane survive?

Hi dear sir pleas Tell me what timer used ? Thank you lot

Nice pattern!!!

Looking good Bill. I have 5 boys building the Sunbird V2 electric powered gliders, We meet two days a week for 4 hours each day 1:00PM - 5:00PM. This is Week 4 and one of the boys is starting to cover the Fuselage and tail. We are building in the EAA Chapter 878 hangar. I built one in 6 days ready to fly, and filmed the 15 part series showing how to build it.

Дрова... 🤷

its funny you know when you fly a kite it is about being satisfied with your flight

I was ten when I built my "Baby Ringmaster." Good for you, pal!

From what I could tell, it looks like you were flying in an aerodynamic bowl...frequently difficult to lift out of those things and get up to good air.

Con éste sistema no son necesarias dos personas para volar el avión, ¿Cómo pones en marcha el motor desde el centro del círculo? Muchas gracias

A very sedate flyer, well done.

I've got heads

And used parts

I've got heads

I had a couple of those as a kid. 42' line is pretty good. At 75 I don't know how long I could go around in circles without falling on my butt. Thanks for sharing!

42 ' of line is too much for 049 power .it not very controlled.

I've been flying CL since 1970. Got all the hot old motors . Gonna pull out the stuff and Go Ape Shit again. Keep on flyin

Greetings. What wood is the fuselage of this model aircraft made of, lime wood is good and must be thick, please, I await your reply. Thanks in advance

At first viewing the noise of the other engine during the glide is an outrage 😮 then at the end you realize it's a friend on a motorcycle who you'd have to admit could come in handy 😂

and thanks for sharing.

Well hats off Sirs. I watch a LOT of this kind of thing and that was special. Great demo of a record breaker doing what it oughta free flight never seen it before. There's something great about having nothing to do after the launch but watch, enjoy the flight and maybe do some shouting and jumping up and down like a kid. Bet it even smells good. Grass and gas, lovely. 😀

Hi Bill, haven’t seen you on Stunthangar lately,, good to see you,

For me, this is what it’s all about. Nothing like catching a thermal!

Great video. I just got that plane second hand. I actually flew my friends today and it was awesome. Im going to get mine ready this week and take it up on Saturday. Keep up the great vids!🫡

Looks like a couple good places to fly!

no sound

i have used an OS Max 35 on a Flitestreak and what an awesome engine!
