- Series of flights and photos showing the rubber-powered free-flight model of the 22.5" Mitsubishi 1MF1. Model was designed by Tom Hallman. IG: @hallmanstudio It was first flown in 1997, but had not seen air since 2010, after it was on display at the EAA. Model was the NFFS Top Ten Models of the Year in 1998 and the Earl Stahl winner at the 2004 FAC Nats.
Music: "I Always Will" by Danny Wright.

Great way to start the morning here in the UK - watching a maxfliart.
Thanks for the wonderful plan link - I'm building mine right now, to the delight of my best friend, who is Japanese. He's looking forward to seeing mine fly soon. Much appreciated.
34 grams with all those gorgeous details...amazing!
Watching and learning.
Esplendid, precious flight!! The piano theme is very appropriated, Greetings from Argentina.
This field you fly is an invitation for this amazing hobby.
What a perfect place!
She flys beautifully 😍👍
At 2:17 you can see a small turbine pump on the left landing gear. I am shocked at the detail. Your details drive me mad.
Thx. Couldn't resist that tiny prop action.
biju209 that's for asking the same question I was wondering about.
What a beautiful plane,I love aviation modeling,but I m stuck in a Latin Hell were we dont even have the paper.Thanks for rekendleing my childhood memories.
Triple BEAUTIFUL!
Plane... Flight... Flying field 💖
Impressing after so many years in storage!
Wonderful flight and model.
What a beautiful aircraft Tom! 22 years old and still gracing the sky with style. Beautiful hand drawn plan as well. Kudos!
Another amazing build and trim flight, your are the inspiration for all the penny scale and up dreamers to inspire to achieve. You are my tissue covered rubber band builder guru !!!! All the best to you and your family from mine to yours from Tokyo. Thank you sir for all your amazing post.
Thank you for the generous compliments. Very much appreciated. I feel we inspire each other by our shared passion for flight.
Just so beautiful, don't know why a rubber band flight does that! Maybe it's because we can feel it.
Very interesting info. I am slightly amused by the fact that the 1st Japanese Navy fighter was designed by a bloke called Herbert Smith, albeit with a team of 7 other folks.. I guess cool morning air can make a glide steeper, if there's even just a HINT of downdraft, than warm.. A stunning flight from an equally stunning model. I love those card stock louvres. A great weight/detail exchange! 👍
Odd that it would change flight pattern after all those years. Looked pretty good under power to the left, but as motor wound down, looked to straighten out or even go right a bit. End of flight glide was definitely steep, but no harm done. Nice to bring out an old bird that hasn't been up in the air for some time. I'll bet you have an attic full of retired models that would love to see the skies again. Cheers!
In 2010 she was in the Air Venture Museum at the EAA for a display about free-flight modeling, so I cleaned her up, removing all of my trim tabs etc. When I flew her on Thursday, I started out clean and let her determine the path.
Might still flip her to the right so she climbs better against the torque, but only if that soft grass is still at Wawayanda. Fun bird to fly.
Lovely as always Tom.

Very nice! Flies very well after 20+ years! Very impressive my friend!
Tom, you answered my prayers on this one. I’ve been meaning to ask you for two years when will we see this bird in the air again. (It’s high on my to-build wish list.) Now you know it’s about time you got its little sister out, too... More flying please, we luvvit!
I was very pleased to find that she took to the air, the circle, very quickly. That's a pretty large windmill on the nose, however, so perhaps that's why she dove a bit steeply in the glide. Like having a large umbrella out front.
Beautiful airplane, nice flyer, incredible attention to detail. It's got to boost your heart rate more than just a little to let her go, but she proved to be a sweet craft. Well done and thumbs up.
For those who are curious, here are the complete six flights by the 1MF1 on that day, with a few words about the trim effects.
th-cam.com/video/e-z02FD5Fr8/w-d-xo.html Not your typical "Anatomy of a Trim Session", as their weren't too many adjustments, but I was simply going up the ladder with winds to monitor her reaction to torque.
Thank you so very much for sharing that with us!
Very nice airplane, and great flights. Thank you for sharing with us.
really beautiful work and and & awesome flight!
Wow. I really need to up my game.
Just keep building and enjoying the process.... These models are truly special. A person wouldn’t need to be involved in the hobby to figure out how remarkable something like this model happens to be.

Actually, I'm fairly pleased with the results of my efforts. Building light, straight, and strong are my primary concerns.
Flying well and looking good while doing it!
But, as they say, "The devil is in the details."
Cheers from Las Vegas, Nevada!
Cheers!
Wonderful!
oh to be a rubber band-powered model biplane drifting through the morning air...
I love airplanes and it's why I watch these videos, but I could also watch these videos only to hear the music on the background.
Nice ✈
The first watcher. From spain.
:D
I love that🌹💖👍
Legendary work. I see no elevator trims. Does the rudder move in this one?
Yes, she has the typical soda can hinges. Just hard to see in the film.
Where should the CG be on this model? I noticed that the plans don't appear to have it indicated.
Thx for the heads-up. I've since corrected the plan. www.hallmanstudio.com/mitsu_plan.pdf
Good stuff, indeed :-)
Do you have a tutorial for how you make this style of prop? Also, what do you use for the little brass button behind the prop where the shaft passes through the thrust plate?
Not specifically yet, although the process shows up in a few of my 'start to finish' films. I hope to make a tutorial film this year. Thx for the reminder. The brass buttons for the nose are vintage, no longer available, but u can make them by drilling thru "four prong nailheads". Search the web. I show them about 40 seconds in on this Basics film #4. th-cam.com/video/sJkmyBo9zrg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KSk09IWvPduuPFRB
@maxfliart I really like the modeled hub on the prop, I've actually never seen that done before.
Max do you sell any of your models ? I’d sure like to add one to my aviation collection for my hangar in Alaska.
Thx for the kind words and offer, but these are my babies and I'd like to keep them here in the hangar. :-)
Such detail, such a beautiful bird. She flies so well. I hate you.
One aircraft I'd never heard of: looks like an S.E.5 spin-off: how was it possible to obtain plans for what has to be an accurate rubber-powered scale-model of an obscure plane ( the only plans I could get in the late '50s were for near-scale models, usually with oversized tail-surfaces, instead of anything faithful to the real thing)?
All I can offer is the plan I made of the aircraft, using a somewhat simple 3-view as a guide. Tail surfaces were enlarged a bit for f/f stability. www.hallmanstudio.com/mitsu_plan.pdf
Look, I'm the first not to care when you watched or commented.
But I got the first like 😎👍
