This reminds me of a kid back in the early 60s' . Building a balsa and paper plane under the light of an Aladdin kerosene lamp in a barn while waiting for a mare to have her foal .
She had a perfect foal and it took me another week to finish that plane .
Thanks for the memories my friend .
You build the most beautiful planes and record the most beautiful videos...Thank you for sharing with us
Mezmerising! Flying Zen. Thanks.
This is by far the most underrated youtube channel. There are only two other guys that pull me a smile when I see the notification of a new video.
Your Skill to Carve a prop is no less than the airborne height
These are the foundations .... everything else is variants and new technology.Thanks so much Max.
You carving those propeller's is Amazing to me!
Beautiful Video, Thank You!
Truly an 'Oldie but a goodie' ... nice flight. Glad you escaped the soybeans ... those are really thick at this time of year. At least you'd have had a chance at spotting it with those bright colors on it. Thanks for sharing the memories ...
Thx, Bill. I thought she was in the beans for sure. Wasn't looking forward to walking thru the thick stuff, so I was indeed very lucky.
Yeah yeah yeah. Your build skills are awesome. It's your prop building skills that blow me away. Truly amazing. I can't risk free flight where I live. Way to many trees, every square yard. Watching your builds fly are like medication soothing an irritation. But it's the prop builds.
Everytime I watch one of your videos it's my new favorite. The prop carve pushed this one over the top . Please don't stop .
Very nice build and flight! Never tried this but enjoy watching.
Propellers...I Always say it is a chapter apart in the building process.
And when someone makes his own propeller so nice like this, you are sure the airplane
will be great as well . 👏👏👏
Great build and flight. Brings back so many happy memories of being a kid and building models and flying them.
Thanks for posting this, I almost feel like a kid again....😉
Beyond words ....thank you sir.
Regards
Robert
🇬🇧
Fly forever!
Excellent video thanks for the memories take me back when Dad wood help me with the plans.if he was here he’s love this video thanks guys. George in England uk.🙏👍
Fantastic and so relaxing...…. Gollywock is pretty near the top of the build list
Great build ,flight, and prop carving. When they fly that well you need a dt😀, preferably a radio dt, and a tracker, preferably a gps tracker. Or you could just build another when it flies away. Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Flying Jewel !
One of these days, I swear, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson is going to appear from the tall grass and ask you if this is heaven. ;)
Haha...
To which I'd, reply, "Why, yes... this is heaven."
or better yet...Carl Goldberg would walk out of the corn.
Fantastic job 👍
You sir are a skilled magician when it comes to balsa and tissue. Hats off to you Sir.
Truly beautiful. To an old modeler like me, that's really the essence of modeling. Nice work !!
Oldies but Goldies ❤
They could their things back in 1941!
Beautiful plane and a beautiful flyer... Grace in the air 👍
That's one nice flying machine 👍
great video
I think you could become hooked on these non-scale duration models Tom!

haha. Well they certainly have grabbed my attention. I've had a kit of the Miss World's Fair for a long long time, so she could be a nice addition to the fleet following the restored Stahl Hurricane.
I've been enjoying your videos, inspiring to watch, enough that I am now doing trim flights on a Jimmy Allen Special. Here's hoping I can get flights like these one day!
the propeller wow wonderfull
"Of course it flies. It has to fly. We don't leave them much choice!"
And now it's time for bed. Good night.
..... and dream of airplanes .
👍
Hola muy lindo vuela con 20 grs de goma el del vídeo?
Again, is too cool Thomas! I have my gollywock about 1/3 done. Is a 13inch prop FAC legal on an 32 inch ws model?
Thx. Yes, the designer used a number of different sized props on the original Gollywock, so unusual as that may appear, yes, it's legal.
Thanks for the info, my 1940 plan from Flite Tech shows only 12" prop. Lol there were probably hundreds of redrawn plans of this great old timer.
Can you teach how to make propellor ? Step by step
Check out this tutorial by Bruce Matthews. The films and photos show you everything you need to know. I used these to carve my first prop last year. www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2508404-Prop-Carving-Group-contributions-welcome-Let-s-make-this-a-one-stop-spot!
Is there a difference between the 1939 & 1941 Gollywock Plans? The video is titled 1939, but the video show plans for the 1941 version.
Thx for pointing that out, Paul. This indeed is the 1941 plan, with the fins on the stab, while the 1939 plan has a sheeted rudder and rounded stab tips. I've made the correction, and included the link on Outerzone for the 1939 version. I couldn't find a free download for the '41.
@@maxfliart Thanks for the reply. After I sent you this question yesterday, I did see that you addressed this question already on another video and that the 1941 plan you used is offered for a nominal fee at NFFS plan store. I have only built a few commercial kits before and thought the Gollywock you be a good choice for my first scratch-build. After looking at the thumbnail version of 1941 Gollywock plan on the NFFS site I don't see the rib patterns for the ribs near the ends of the wing tips. Is this just something you need to shape and fit yourself? See Plan: freeflight.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/P-260-GollywockPostWar.jpg
@@paulgraf1200 Yes, I think I adjusted the ribs as needed.
@@maxfliart Thanks... I ended buying a set of plans from the NFFS site. I have another question if it's not too much trouble. Does you model have DT at the Rudder & Stab? if it does is there any way I can find out how to construct this?
@@paulgraf1200 Hi Paul. I wrote an article on DTs, which shows a number of ways to make them. For the Gollywock, it's all about creating a hinge at the center of the stab's leading edge. I've added the link to the article above in the description. There's also a link for a source that sells reliable DTs. I found the Badge classic to be reliable. He currently is not selling there Button DTs.
How come it has so long flight time?? (Yes dummy here.😀)
the propeller wow wonderfull
