I built a peanut Gillows plane once during college. Never flew it, just wanted to build it. Got into RC Glow and Electric Planes and Gliders. Your Goodyear Racer reminds me of flying Sailplanes on a calm summer day. So Peaceful and Realizing.
The build, the finishing, the trim flights all culminating on the two magnificent final flights on a beautiful sky. Your work never ceases to impres and make people happy! 😊
Absolutely beautiful. These sliced rib wings are so economical on weight.. All that longitudinal strength from the big spars is great.. I mean, you can repair a rib or two if needs be, but it's good to have overall structural integrity.. At least, that's how Anthony Fokker looked at it, and HE knew a thing or two about planes.. Lovely film. 👍
The landscape portrait at 8:19 is as magnificent as your model construction and and flying skills are. Selecting the composition is as difficult. Bravo!
No one is harmed, so I think the magic is not black. By the holy tree, I suspect there is love, commitment and pride afoot! Those tiny gems behaving so fantastic is almost unbelievable. Thank you for sharing this.
Such a beautiful structure - I love those build sequences. That final launch and smooth climb out was wonderful to watch. Thanks for sharing these moments.
@@maxfliart love your builds & comitment to scale rubber...must be a fanastic club atmosphere...RE your little racers...have you tried paper mache with tissue & wallpaper starch...we used to make cowlings with it, very light & stiff even just 2 or 3 layers...for rounded cowl cheeks on the racers...we used to use wall paper past for frame covering too pulls tissue drum tight & lighter than thinned pva as well as easier to repair too...few more tips from our 60s days
Those old "Cleveland Air Races" Golden Age racers were always good model material: Shoestring, Cosmic Wind, Buster, ... well, not so much the GeeBee .. ha ha. Beautiful flights. Your 'museum quality' builds & peaceful flights are always great to see. Cheers.
No oiled fuels , No smells , On fussing or cussing . No noise . Peaceful flight in the blue marble-lade sky . I fly above the birds of pray . Looking down I sea green . Just beautiful flight
What a great finishing job, I ask, how to prepare the paper so that the color is uniform and does not wrinkle with moisture and the letters are clear and very well marked. Best regards and congratulations.
@@maxfliart Thankyou for that. Just to clarify the switch you have shown is it a miniature egg timer or a spring type of affair with some friction washers and presumably tensioned by the arm from the switch?. Thankyou for your efforts very enjoyable really liked the Spitfire/Seafire trim video.
@@chrisbailey459 Not sure where you're going with the egg timer reference, but the button or badge timers are apparently made with a viscous material (silly putty perhaps?) which naturally slows the rotation. Then I use springs made of .009 or .010" dia. wire to create the pull. Glad u enjoyed the Seafire. I've never been so happy to see a ship come into form, since the previous sessions were frustrating.
@@maxfliart By egg timer I was referring to the ones that had a dial that that you wound on to the time you wanted (clockwork toy mechanism) and great for your efforts once again. Regards Chris
Great video as always. I know there are many inkjet printers that would work for printing on tissue but I'm curious about your hardware and process. Can you share some of this?
@@robertrussellmd This was simply a quick field fix. Since there was a bit of wiggle in the block, I went old school and used a shim of thin balsa. I can note the angle and dial it in on the plate back in the hangar.
@@maxfliart Thank you for the reply. I learn a lot from your videos. I used many viewings of your step by step construction videos to learn how to make a Rees sliced/laminated rib wing. My first attempt is below. photos.app.goo.gl/dgH7GNHD1oVTQnkP9
Again a magnificient build! do you add the weight in the nosecone/spinner or in the front part of the fuselage. I can imagine that weight in the spinner affects the rotation. How do you cope with this in small planes?
It refers to the method of preparing the motor, so that when it unwinds, it maintains tension, so that the CG does not shift throughout the flight. My motor for the Snoke is ultimately two loops of .187" x 40". It starts out as one loop 80" long. Before I fold it over into two loops, I wind in 250 forward turns, then fold it over and attach the ends with a small dental rubberband. There's your braided motor, ready to be installed. The number of braids can vary from model to model. When the motor is fully unwound, you want it to sag slightly, but without touching the bottom of the fuselage. If you have too many braids, you will know since the prop will not freewheel, because of too much tension.
Really beautiful, so great to see a rubber powered free flight model flying in a way that I never imagined was possible! Thank you for posting this.

Ugh! I just cant...with how dialed the cg and the thrust lines are. Absolute legend. Your videos make missing my planes a lot more bearable.
Last flight of the the was absolutely beautiful
Such a beautiful structure - I love those build sequences. That final launch and smooth climb out was wonderful to watch. Thanks for sharing these moments.
Thank you, best 12 mins of my day
Thx, it was an amazing and memorable day. More to come I hope.

Watching your videos always puts a smile on my face and it is a calm port in a stormy world
The small one was anxious to fly!
Beautiful models, beautiful flight!
Love the camera work and the gentle narration along with the beautiful music. Stellar. Simply stellar
Flying very well this small scale models 👍👍👍😊
- And BEAUTIFUL built too! ❤
Beautiful. "Where did they land?" "Way, way yonda'!"
Wonderful card, thank you for helping me through the year!
Thanks again! Such a wonderful watch 😁
Superb flying!Congratulations!Stay safe and Hello from France.
That's what it's all about, peace and senerity! Beautiful!
A testament of perseverance! Another successful outing, from the modern master of free flight. Bravo!
Absolutely lovely. Thanks for these videos. So much good mental healing watching this.
One day Hollywood will make movie of about Tom. It will be called "Flight powered by dreams" you are a legend.
Man... both of those fly like they know exactly what they're doing, very nice.
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful airplane... I love the blue color and overall unique design...
wow, that was just magnificent !
I can only dream of flights as beautiful.
I remember watching your 13 " one some time back this 27" version is just as good. Fascinating stuff.
Of all your airplanes I have had the pleasure to see .
This one's has a great landing capacity,and to the unknowing eye it seems very stable.
Those old "Cleveland Air Races" Golden Age racers were always good model material: Shoestring, Cosmic Wind, Buster, ... well, not so much the GeeBee .. ha ha. Beautiful flights. Your 'museum quality' builds & peaceful flights are always great to see. Cheers.
this made my day... thanks!
😊nice turn count..!🤙
No oiled fuels , No smells , On fussing or cussing . No noise . Peaceful flight in the blue marble-lade sky . I fly above the birds of pray . Looking down I sea green . Just beautiful flight
Amazing. Well done
Again great building, great video, s any time ya in Ireland give us a shout!
So nice And Amazing...
Acabou meu estoque de palavras elogiosas para os vídeos deste canal! Mas continuo vendo, e procurando palavras!
Thank you kindly.
@@maxfliart eu que tenho que agradecer!!!

Oh My God, the scene at 8:16!!
Thx for the feedback. I'm continually amazed by the ever changing epic sky in this area of NY.
where can I get plans for this wonderful plane model?
I've just added the documentation and plan to the 13" version in the description above.
Is there an article or more information on the adjustable thrust plate?
Here are some photos and text showing the approach. hallmanstudio.com/Thrust_Plates.jpg
Very sweet aeroplanes. Can you do a short explanation on how your D/Theralisers work. Regards
Thx, Chris. Here's an article that I wrote on the subject of dethermalizers. www.hallmanstudio.com/DT.pdf

I wold like to find the plans for this one with about a 45 inch wing span
I just realized Wawayanda is a real place.
I’m intrigued by the adjustable most thrust - is there any documentation on that ?
Thx for the feedback. Here are some pix showing various thrust plates. hallmanstudio.com/Thrust_Plates.jpg
@@maxfliart Thank you. The pictures properly stored in my hd precious files now. 😀
Why did you use a shim with the adjustable nose block? Was it because you had already used all of it down thrust adjustment?
@@robertrussellmd This was simply a quick field fix. Since there was a bit of wiggle in the block, I went old school and used a shim of thin balsa.
I can note the angle and dial it in on the plate back in the hangar.
@@maxfliart Thank you for the reply. I learn a lot from your videos.

How do you discover the max turns of the rubber?
Again a magnificient build! do you add the weight in the nosecone/spinner or in the front part of the fuselage. I can imagine that weight in the spinner affects the rotation. How do you cope with this in small planes?
I love your channel.
How many planes are in your hangar?
And I would love to see them altogether.
the odd aspect ratio of the wing makes it a bit unstable.
9:23, "uses 250 forward braids." What does that mean? Thank you.
It refers to the method of preparing the motor, so that when it unwinds, it maintains tension, so that the CG does not shift throughout the flight.

What does 'uses 250 forward braids' mean pls? (9:25)
Im sorry to say the piano playing as back ground music is slightly annoying, but again well done on aircraft, and flights
I love pilene
either turn down the music or turn up your voice,,, other than that,, your vids are great!!!!!!!
oily smelly lovely
I disagree... The second flight was nearly perfect. All it needs is more power.
