Modeling olanes the old way, balsa and glue smeling for ever.

Nice job, beautiful model👍

Too bad you told us what was happening in the background. I would have instead believed all that cheering was for you. Jet sound with the "Strela" was a nice touch, though.

Yoo

Inspiring! I especially appreciate the written descriptions of your building, the solutions etc. Thanks. Now I’ll start another balsa project.

Would you explain the "carbon guide stick"?

Put a couple of servos in there for at least rudder control ? Via remote ?

I remember building those as a kid, making money from snowshoveling in Brooklyn, NY in the late 1970s and early 1980s, all the wiseguy’s houses, made like $80 one day after a 24” snow storm, was like $500 today, and ran to Hobby Hut to buy them. Getting the skin on and “doping” it properly was difficult.

Very nice flight

Always enjoyed building with a friend over the winter, and flying them in the spring. Hard to find good friends into that kind of thing nowadays..

Great stuff! Very much enjoyed watching the video.

I'd love to see a Peanut SAM-9! If anyone can make that thing fly, you can.

Nice stuff guys! Thanks for remembering NRE.

Nice flights! Especially last one is great!

Ha! I got two Comet Robins in the box right now, the little one and the smaller one!

Зачем такой большой винт

Man, the way it takes off is so graceful. It’s like it’s an RC airplane!!!!!!!!

Klein aber fein.Super.

Schöne Flüge,echt klasse.Gute Arbeit.Gefällt mir sehr gut.

How are you flying it without control surfaces, is it because of the propellor design? and altitude using thrust?

How does the prop keep spinning despite the rubber band?

Wow wow and wow !!! So when do you start work with NASA ? I do hope you're incredibly proud of your accomplishment ! What next ? 😉🙃😎 NZ

High enough to intercept balsa Ju-86P.

Superb build and flying. How did you cut the wing ribs? In the plan from outerzone, there are no wing ribs templates

That's a great flight for a R.O.G.

really? really?

Excellent, built and flown lovely! When you say the tissue was shrunk over a teapot, did you use steam, not sure what you mean?

Oliver, another beautiful creation! Wish I was back east to join the fun.

usualmente mis aviones con recubrimiento de colores se vuelven transparentes :(( tus aviones son muy coloridos, puedes darme consejos al respecto por favor? soy un principiante

Very cool!

Come on! Surely you have RC equipment inside that plane? Super cool. Well done!

There are only two words for that: 1. Su 2. Perb! 😁

This flies in an amazing way and seem to choose its own path. These are so neat

Beautiful build and flight!

Good job and beautiful flight❤

Wonderful! Nice flight!

Fantastic, thanks for sharing, I am going to have to build one!

Beautiful takeoffs and flights.

Charming, OS!

Awesome!

wow thats amazing! great video. big thumbs up

No-cal models are overly simplistic for my taste. But what it looks like in flight is king, and when this one is in the air it really looks like a dash-8. Well done.

Hi, this looks amazing! Ive always wondered about twin props, do they spin in the same direction, or opposite direction? Would love to know about this! Thanks

Hi Michael - I just finished my Sky Bunny and am about to start trimming and flying. I know this is an old video (and plane!), but wanted to ask about the rubber motor. So, (2) loops of 1/8" - braided? How many turns in the braid? How many winds for non-contest flights? And do you use a stooge for this plane? Embedded tube in the fuselage for a skewer? Cheers, and see you at the 2025 Non-NATS!

Turner gave Brown the original build order for his Special. Came out overweight. He took it to Chicago and Laird rebuilt it with new wings and the rest is history. Matty Laird was a member of our Illinois Model Aeroclub back before WW1 when Bill Stout was our tech advisor.

Looks great Oliver, I hope you can get it back together.
