- This giant rubber-powered airplane flies for more than 40 minutes! No joke! It is incredible! This is the largest hand-launched stick airplane we have ever seen and it weighs only 3.4 grams!
Watch this video and see Josh fly his amazing airplane. It has a 5 foot (1.5 meter) wingspan and requires additional wire support to maintain its structural integrity! The wires are so thin, you can't even see them.
This second annual event took place at the West Baden Springs Hotel in West Baden, Indiana on March 23rd-24th, 2019. This contest is to honor a United States F1D indoor free flight world champion, Jim Richmond, and the event is sanctioned/hosted by AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics.)

Wonderful job filming that. You captured the true essence of a machine I cannot fully wrap my own mind around even after building it.
Thanks, Josh! Filming this was the easy part for you have tamed these lions and uncaged these friendly beasts for all to see! Well done! 👍😀
That was incredible...
I would actually love to watch y'all fly one day.
I think it would be a holy grail experience.
Josh is totally dedicated, one of the best.
True-that! 👍😀
40 mins of fly?? If I achieve 40 seconds with a plane that I made I would be super happy.
Efficiency to the max! These guys really know how to not waste energy.
It is impressive, indeed! 👍😊
This was a real joy to watch. Enjoyed the entire video! I really wish you guys were still actively uploading.
Yeah, we need to get another video up! Definitely! Thanks for watching, guys! 😊
Fantastic video and great to see you and Josh in the same room so we know there really is two different people out there 😍
Yup, I’m the mild “man-nerd” Clark Kent reporting on Josh’s Superman-flying feats! 👍😜
Best two comments in a long time. Well done sirs!
Awasum creation.real power less flying joy .. love you from India 🇮🇳
Fantastic art! Just discovered this! I absolutely LOVE IT!!!
Yeah, it’s incredible... especially when it’s flying! Glad you discovered this! 😊
Just shared this on facebook and watch it again. It's Unbelieveable how long the rubber motor lasts and that these planes stay in the air for so long and fly at all despite so low propeller rotatary speed!
I want a plane like that for my room! :D
With a plane like that, you’re going to need a very big room. 😆
Thanks for sharing! 👍😀
Wonderful to finally see the Hourglass III at full torque! Too bad about the “landing”, but I’ve no doubt Josh will get that fixed up in no time!
Yes, indeed... and Josh tells me he can crank up the rubber motor even more. And with a little tweak, he’ll probably have that flying 50+ minutes. So... the story does not end here!
I fixed it before packing it away. It's in the trailer ready for its next outing. :)
Just as I thought you would! :) Can’t wait to see its next flight!
Nope! This is just the beginning! I think even an hour is not far-fetched, perhaps even the world record is within in capability of the Hourglass III.
Awesome work!!
Thanks, Donny!
this is what youtube is for, not for tv shows that cant be filmed due to covids man youtube is bending over for that saccharine content and the quirky stuff get buried
Glad you found us! 😊
Beautiful flight!
Yeah! 👍😀
How fun is that! Gotta go see one of these events.
Josh, this is awesome! The wing looks very strong.
Thanks, Bill, for stopping by! Did you see the “invisible” wires Josh had on this thing to support the wings. Crazy stuff!
@@NighthawkGliders , yes those wires are truly invisible - 0.001" tungsten. I can't see them, so use Kevlar tow instead.
ありがとうございます！
My neck hurts just watching this
great video! my first F1D- like (although I now laugh about it looking back) plane I built from wood that was left over from a balsa glider kit I built
Thanks! It was a fun video to make! The skill set to make something like Josh’s airplane is incredible!
Outstanding video. For us newbies I take it that is not clear wrap.
Thanks, Jeff. Correct! It’s called OS film. In this video I interviewed Josh last year and he explained a few things to us that might interest you regarding how these airplanes are made. Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/KVbtIdmYKUg/w-d-xo.html
Respect !
Nice, very good
I always give mine a DLG launch...😁
They are in a room the size of soccer pitch and the commentator says "I think there's a slight draught". This hobby is both verging on lunacy and utterly compelling. Thanks for posting!
Awesome, looks like Predator up there.
Great video game ❤️✊
Thanks! 😊
The Hourglass III is a rubber powered soap bubble!
Yup! It’s crazy light and floats like one!
Need a big bath tub to make such large sheets of microfilm! Do you use nitrate, colloidal, and castor oil?
Joshua .............. 👍🔦🎓💨
Indeed!
amazing!
Hey Brad! It's Brad from the Indy 500! You guys make great products!
Thanks, Brad! Happy to have met you (another Brad) at the race this year. We’ll be back again next year for sure. Thanks for commenting!!! 😊
They look like those squigglies in your eyes except cool little planes.
They are certainly fascinating to watch! 👍😀
should make the wings double layered membranes and covertly pump some helium into them until the whole thing is weightless and then let fly/float forever lol
I could totally get into these! Where can I get a kit?
3.4 grams really boggles the mind!
Absolutely does!
Moves like a jellyfish it’s construction fascinates me
I am from Italy. I don't understand how these wonderful airplanes models are governed . Are they let free ? Which are the goals of the balloons ? Thanks
The goal is to achieve the longest flight duration. They are very light. When launched, they fly in their own. But when they may collide with an object, the owner may use a helium balloon to change its course to a safe location. When balloon is engaged with the airplane, the stopwatch is paused and resumed after it’s disengaged again. These planes are amazing.
