such an interesting aircraft! looks like a great kit too!

Good looking project and promising flights 👍👍😊😊

It's sometimes the simple planes that you have the most fun with, and they can sometimes fly really well. I've had r/c planes and heli's, and I love my gliders and rubber power planes.

Excellent, hire a sports hall and let it really fly!

Here in Finland every flying model kid in the Sixties and Seventies must have had the Sleek Streek and Quillows models , they were sold everywhere. Carefully pressing the parts together trying not tho split them, and the pressing of the wings to the plastic center piece was frightening... I have sort of memory of pre-bent whole wing through the fuselage, and also the plastic terrifying center piece, but as there were several different kits resembling each other... Finland is often called "The 51:st State of The USA", as we are possibly the most "American" country of the Europe. Or , when I was kid in the Seventies, I had skateboard, I still have it, (my son is now second generation skateboarder...) , we had rich hot rod culture even back then, I had several COX models, and I have had cars like Plymouth Valiant (my first) , Ford LTD -67 with 428, Blazer -79 I still own, Chrysler Newport -78 , Jeep GC, now Hummer H3, etc... Practically everybody can speak English. You got a NATO ally that is like you. Possibly more American than your Democrats, as it seems looking from here...

Bought a few _Skeeter_ when Mom wouldn't pay for a _Sleek Streek._ What was the glider named?

my grand daughter loves bees . i have to build one of these for her , ( and me ) love the antennae

Cool. I'm gonna try to build one with dollar store foam board.

Sooo ~10secs of Thrust . Rubber bands can do similar if not more.

❤❤

Yup ! flies like a Clancy Bee: Slow ...unstably , seemingly always on the edge of a stall. Never understood why so many loved them. Most likely because it was the only RC model they could actually Fly (sort of)

That looks fun ,i might have to try it one Day( Rubber band airplanes) great video

put a brake on the prop shaft.

Very impressive and especially the rubber powered models always wanted to try a foam profile fuselaudge but no depron here in the usa we just have thicker foam board at our dollar stores

I didn't expect you to get that one back, excellent flights 👍👍

i am building a SRPSM today with out the plans using that looks about right method and the AMA racer plans i do have Do you remember the balance point/CG on the mail wing ?? i am guessing about an inch forward from TE i found a used Ron Williams book so have it on order That Looks like its a Super flyer i see Volare products has a Laser cut Sleek Streek kit out now ill order one as well

I must have had dozens of Sleek Streeks as a kid in the 60's. I lost way too many to flyaways. Brings back fantastic childhood memories.

So cool 🎉❤

You did a great job of flying the Walrus. Was this built from the Aeromodeller free flight plan? What electric motor did you use and did you have to change the wing, tail and motor thrust angles any? Thank you very much, Michael slainte

What a lovely "noise"!

Damned shame that you can't buy the Sleek Streeks anymore. The Guillows ones you CAN get are insanely expensive, as I remember buying the Slkeek Streeks for about a quarter when I was a kid. (Jeez! That was *gasp!* fifty years ago!!!!)

Is there a balsa version

Looked slightly tall heavy

Nice looking planes. Do you have any plans for the little delta?

Would you mind sharing a link with the exact 4 blade unit propellor you used ? I will make this project myself. Thank you - you have inspired me a lot with that video.

Spectacular - my type of projects and relaxed flying at the same time !!!! Excellent work !!!!

Amazing !!!!!!

The electric motor certainly takes the screaming engine out of a dizzying experience! Nice job on resurrecting the Veron classic.

Great looking plane. Beautiful landing. Well done!

Amazing....As a complete and utter newbie (or idiot) can someone please tell me how do I get one of these things to fly properly? At least do one left circle or something around me? They usually just fly up stall and dive and crash or just dive and crash. Never stays in the air for any length of time...I followed the directions on the can but it won't fly...its a $5 sleak streek I got from ebay.

Ottimo 👍

Nice

mostly good work. d

Lovely 😊😊👍👍

Whoah! Thank you so much, I was looking for a timer circuit to do ten seconds of on time but this is much simpler. Hope Amazon can send some supercapacitors pronto, I have four motors from a dead drone and a sheet of solid foam insulation that need to get airborne.

I could never get a Sleek Streek to fly even half decently. AMA Cubs all flew somewhat, they would thermal. I built one with light wood, tissue covered, and a much longer motor. Lightened the prop, too. Flew very well.

I had one of those made it into a polydihedral wing, no wheels, balanced peck prop got over 3 mins indoors!!! :)

It(sleek streak/skeeter) should launch straight up and spiral all the way up to 100 feet or so, following with a fairly quick roll out to around a 20 - 25 ft diameter circle. I grew up on them and lost so many to flyaways never to be seen again. Once I figured out how to fly them I could not get enough and went through many, mainly because I could not drive and flew from places I should not have. Watching them catch an updraft and disappear over the trees from my backyard was a thrill, and at 15 cents at the time, well, I could always get another by turning in a few pop bottles.

Very nicely done! Almost like having a pet bird.

information. at 5:07, this is a wholly inferior, and stoopid bi-plane, design. it was produced by someone who was SHORT-on knowledge. these are some of the issues. the model has offset pusher thrust, with an INCORRECT thrust line. this defect is why a lot of up-elevator is Needed. the tail boom is too long and stabs are over-large/heavy; contributing to PERMANENT tail-Heaviness in the distribution of mass (dom). googletranslate

at 2:28, this model has a flimsy wing and VARIABLE polyhedral.!!!!!

What the..! Beautiful Spitfire. Those fly-by's looked and sounded like the real thing. Brilliant video. Thanks for sharing.

That was an interesting selection and challenging for the camera person 😆😆 I would be happy with all those flights. The little delta was a bit nippy, poor camera person 👍👍

I’ve watched your videos for 3 years now, it’s nice to have you post again. Also, very nice Vampire.

I want slow indoor plane :(

Where you buy rubber band?

Very impressive for it's size

Sleek Streek fan here. Beautiful plane.

That is hands down, the best paint scheme of all time. Congrats.

nice video but terrible music if you want to call it that
