- Final flight by Tom Nallen's beautiful 26" rubber-powered Dorand AR.1 biplane from 1917. Model was built in 2010, flew many seasons, but found the trees bordering the Wallkill River in Wawayanda, NY on 5.18.19. Attempts to retrieve proved too dangerous over the deep water. R.I.P.

The irresistible joy of free flight may be founded upon its unpredictable risks, but it is never out-weighed by them. Moments like these define the very essence of this genteel, yet dramatic, pastime.
For whatever it's worth, I can feel my blood pressure come down when I watch your videos. They are all beautiful. Thanks so much.
Words can't not tell of how I feel for your loss. Thank you for sharing with us. My heart is so sad for your loss.😢
Sometimes The Trees Must Reclaim Their Own Kind.
With that melody I cried also,what a bummer guys,and beautifully made R:I:P:
Bloody shame. I'd have shed a tear that day.
Beautiful little model, superb flight. Hopefully a passing wind blew it free and some little child found it and has been inspired to try the hobby.
Love your work. This takes me back to my tree climbing, kite flying youth.
I just knew they were still around -- a kite -eating-tree! Those varmints!!! Except this is a "hungry" kite eating tree and will eat anything! I am sorry for your loss of a beautiful piece of art. I really enjoy watching all the videos and listening to the beautiful music and have wondered how you dodged the trees & wires until now? Thanks for all of your great work!
Lovely job guys thanks
Damn trees! That was a beautiful plane.
I found your channel the other day and I've been going through all your videos in my spare time because they're just soooo good. It's not just the build quality but the quality of your videos is unbelievable. It's all so beautiful it almost makes me want to cry! 😢
There must be some way to retrieve it. So sad.
Such a beautiful plane. And a darn shame. The sky fates were mean that day.
Моделька класс! Ролик класс! Автор в смысле, как будто деревья его встретили, как родного. 🛩️♥️🌳
You needed me to be there to go after it. If a tree is thick enough to support my 150 lb frame, that plane comes down. 3 solid weeks building a scratch-build RC that ended up at the top of the biggest tree in the school yard where we test flew. Home to get ladder to get me high enough to grab lowest branches. went up with multiple tent poles over my shoulder and duct tape. Once branches were too small to climb slowly pulled poles out one by one, taped together and extended until I could poke him down. Came down with holes in my pants, bloody left hand from tree bark and a plane waiting for me at the bottom. Took pics of the whole ordeal. Looking back yes it was probably pretty stupid but that plane came down. Wife almost killed me for almost killing myself. But just to say if a piece of art that beautiful is in a tree that is rooted in the same ground I'm standing on its coming down. That thing is just too nice to leave there!!!
After all your work, so sorry for the loss of such a beautiful plane.
impressive… bravo❗️
Beautiful
Thank You
