    You can see demonstrated the proper center of gravity calculations and balancing the aircrafts within the calculated CG range. Too tail heavy and you get climbs and dives. Too nose heavy and you get a downward trajectory. Just right and your aircraft climbs straight and level to altitude in a graceful display of all forces in proper balance. 🤔🧐🛩

      Forgot to say that this reminds me of the film, "Flight of the Pheonix", and the character "Heinrich Dorfmann". Dorfmannn says the following,.
      "In 1851, Henson and Stringfellow
      built a rubber-powered model that flew 600 meters before encountering an obstruction.
      Aerofoil surfaces, lift
      and drag coefficients...
      ...weight-thrust equations and
      the whole pattern of modern aviation...
      ...originates from right there."

    • @rubberfly
      @rubberfly  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      He burns the glow cord of the thermal brake. If the cord becomes shorter during the flight, a small rubber ring that locks the tail wing in place burns through. The rear wing then folds up at the trailing edge and the model comes down. This is a thermal brake or dethermaliser (DT)

    @alessandropepoli4320 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Let me ask a technical question to an expert, what is the difference between an elastic plane for outdoor flight and one for indoor flight? Let me explain, I see on TH-cam many models like peanuts that fly both extremely and in gyms, but in indoor flight it seems to go much slower and gentler, propeller with a different pitch?

    • @rubberfly
      @rubberfly  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A weaker rubber is flown indoors to avoid hitting the hall ceiling. The stabilising V-shape of the wing can also be smaller as there is no wind. And thirdly, indoor models can be built with a little lighter wood as the model does not have to be shaken from a tree...

    • @alessandropepoli4320
      @alessandropepoli4320 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For v-shape you mean the wing dihedral, I think...

    • @rubberfly
      @rubberfly  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes dihedral..Personally I haven't built a peanut for indoor yet, so I'm really not an expert.@@alessandropepoli4320

      @alessandropepoli4320 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I ask you a courtesy, I would also like to get closer to this splendid world, I fly RC but free elastic flight fascinates me, it is the essence of aeromodelling. What would you recommend for me to get started? I was thinking of a Dumas or Guillow model, unfortunately here in Italy you can't find them much. Thank you

    • @rubberfly
      @rubberfly  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would definitely recommend a functional model to get you started. For example, an Ace from Keil Kraft. If you are an experienced builder, you can also start directly with a plan on outerzone e.g. outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=1344. This will get you up in the air faster and you can acquire skills for scale models. I can also recommend a book: Rubber powered model airplanes by Don Ross. I started with this book...😁

    Those flights are beautiful as I'm watching the TH-cam video I'm thinking of the movie flight of the Phoenix with Jimmy Stewart & Hardy Krüger the airplane designer 😌👍🏻✨ Krueger in the movie relates a story about John Stringfellow in June 1848 he achieve seemingly impossible with his steam airplane flew the length of a discuss the distance of the mil's length in the center of town string fellow came within a whisker of immortality except for the one thing he himself did not fly his airplane what would be called a drone a powered glider with no pilot. And in the movie Hardy Krüger was a model plane designer which Jimmy Stewart and his copilot and everyone else be rated him but he said there's nothing different you could scale it up the model to full size and he proved it and it few they all survived they got out of the desert

    • @vumba1331
      @vumba1331 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Did you know that the aircraft they built and flew in that movie actually crashed later on and killed the stunt pilot flying it? It's back broke on a rough landing and crushed the pilot. Sometimes the inertia involved with larger, heavier engines and airframes play an 8mportant part, but you are correct, from a flying configuration perspective, they are very similar.

      There is a misunderstanding. The Co2 cartridges that can also be used to make sparkling water can also be used to fill small pressurised tanks. These can be used to power models with small piston motors. Hence the title: Rubber or Co2 powered is meant. The PZL P.24 at 2:28 is powered by it.

Ist ja noch lustig, was Leute meinen, gelesen zu haben. 🙂 Ein Luftdruckantrieb mit gleichem Arbeitsvermögen wäre durch den Hochdruck-Tank sicher auch schwer, viel schwerer als ein CO2- oder Gummimotor. Sonst hätte man Luftmotoren vor der Lithium-Batterie-Zeit gesehen. Dabei wäre einfach selbst Luft Nachfüllen praktisch und billig, und störende Feuchtigkeit liesse sich mit einem Absorptionsmittel-Filter vermeiden.
