almost ready to build my first Gollywock and this video very encouraging. will post a video when im done. thank you for sharing.

thank you for making this video! thumbs up again!

Du machsr das super!! Bruno Kempter CH . Danke!

Slick !! Where's the thrust bearing ? What kind did you use? Blessings !!

beautiful clean building. great video

Are you South Africa? Cheers !

I built this from a kit as a kid. Amazing memories.

Do you balance the propeller through the hub?

I have the original size Gentle Lady over 30 years old. I recently stripped the covering and recovered it. Looks great and gave it a toss and it glided awesome.

Ive built many Gollywoks, there were several kits, I built them all. Best to get yourself Wally Simmers original plans.

Great job on the build. I'm building a wide wing one and was wondering what motor you used. cheers

Very cool indeed! Great job, Mia!

Where can I find a decent DT timer these days ? Texas Timers no longer make them.

Where can you buy a noname 2 these days?

Beautiful plane, and your craftmenship is wonderful

Beautiful little glider. I was given an incomplete model of her big sister, the Electra. Hope to finish this winter.

Really nice video, thank you very much

I found plans for many of Earl Stahl's designs online back in 2000. It sparked a renewed interest in freeflight and I joined the Flying Aces Club. I went to the big meeting in July 2001 at the Geneseo NY flying site. Earl Stahl was there too! I couldn't believe it. He was a really nice guy and spent most of his time talking to the kids there about freeflight construction. I got a few pictures of him too. It was a real unexpected pleasure to meet the man.

Fantastic, what part of the UK are you in? Thanks.

Very very nice. Thanks for sharing. A small electric motor on the nose would be an interesting addition, though not as pure as without.

awesome video!

Bellissimo modello. Dove posso trovare i piani per costruirlo? grazie.

Really nice video. 👍🏼🌞

Congratulations to Mia for a well-constructed and great-flying model. And, I've been building stick and tissue models since the '50s, and she still fooled me with the .049 dummy motor! Well done!

after years ago i build one and fly very well whit no folder prop,and i now ,i will try fly again whit double fins ,better stabilidad,from argentina.

Great content, please post more rubber powered subject matter. You have a way of explaining and showing what people actually need to see on the subject. Thank you very much.

Great demonstration! Kindly advise detailed measure to follow. Thanks!

Can you please provide plan? Thanks

Thanks for the video; I’m going to try to carve a balsa propeller later either today or tomorrow for a model. I’m using a 12” x 2” x 1” soft but still stiff balsa block. How long did the process take and what did you use to carve the propeller? Also, the last thing is what grit of sandpaper did you use?

Work of art!

Thank you very much, this was my very first glider from way back, thanks to you i will build another 50 years on . thanks for all the details .

Build process in video is very well shown. When dimensions are scaled down - how does one calculate and reduce the thickness/ width/ of components like wing spar, ribs etc., to reduce weight to maintain appropriate wing loading since wing span is reduced.

Well done.

Thumb up !

Amazing job- flies well (I thought it would need more dihedral, but apparently not!). Love the Cox motor details!

Where could i search prop size for my free flight plane 12inch wingspan

hi bud beautiful model. Where did you get the cheered pattern and what size is the pattern? Ebay? thanks in advance

Thank you,very clear video to see the details thank you.

Its funny to watch. You see a build vid. A launch then flight then a landing. Then someone running towards a plane🤣....lol that run of excitment🤣

Lovely build

I liked the chequerboard tissue particularly the black and yellow because the black was dyed in unlike the other combinations where it was painted and smeared when doping. DeLuxe Materials has brought it back but it must somehow be different because they say it can’t be used with dope.

Filming is not good for a cameraman to help

why do you think the computer music is necessary?

well done

I really like what you did here. Neat, clean, simple and great workmanship. Curious what size music wire and brass tube you used for your prop shaft and clutch assembly??

That free spinning prop trick would have blown my mind as a kid. I used to hate how my rubber motor planes would stall hard when the motor ran out. I devised a method that made the rubber fall off when spent but it always upset the balance. This automatic method is so simple and perfect it blows my mind. Beautiful work sir. 👏

Thank you for the ride! Nice build. Great video. Let’s see it fly!

can you sale me a a set of plans

Beutiful, I like it
