While I've been aware of CO2 power for some decades, until today I'd never heard one. Thanks for educating me.

Free flight is awesome and has the best modelers, in my opinion, where weight and trim are paramount.

I can watch this stuff for hours.. don’t know what it is but I love this stuff

[@rs3096]

Old boys and their toys, very enjoyable, thanks. Used to fly RC park flyers in the gym in winter time when I couldn’t fly fullscale gliders.

Free flight is to me the ultimate aeromodeling skill. I've built flying models since I was 10 including rubber free flight, control line and RC from small to giant scale; old guy now. The smaller they are the more difficult they are.

Always a pleasure to watch these. Keep them coming

[@alaingadbois2276]

That Blackburn Dart was really more into practicing its carrier landings rather than flying around!

[@peterbrown7130]

Your Cocquette is fabulous 👍.

[@Jones607]

I can’t wait til he’s finished the “Peace Maker.”😆

Lovely; thank you for putting this together and sharing.

[@highace10]

Love the Flitzer!

I have formed the opinion that as a model, the biplane does not offer the same advantages it did to a full scale aircraft. The extra lift of the 2 wings is negated by the extra drag of them and their struts. Believe it is because if the renolds number principal, that the model is flying in a thinner air at the molecular level. There is less lift available but the drag coefficient is still there. Notice the biplanes fly faster and glide less. Fly a model triplane, dr1, and you find it has a worse glide rate than a biplane. Lots of drag

You guys are really good at this model airplane stuff .

[@ioannisbatas1614]
