Free flight is where most of us got started and if you like me, having been aero modelling for 60 years free flight is where you end, a return to the ultimate form of aero modelling.
aero modelling can be a journey.. but ending up back where you started doesn't diminish the journey. There is something uniquely satisfying about the problem solving necessary in Free Flight and watching something you built with your own two hands take flight on its own!
Beautiful film! Congrats to the NFFS and Bob Sowder for his masterful edits. Thanks also to Jonathan Nunez for his film capture of Vance Gilbert's beautiful Farman Goliath, and to Charlie Sauter for his clip of the launch of my Hodek twin in Geneseo, NY.
@@billkuhl442 Good to know US FAA does practice logical thought process unlike my country which have a habit of practicing one shoe size fit all regulation. Them believe in less work for the government department staff. Afterall, they hobbyist are the ones paying to keep the hobby going, so make them register and pay.

Thank you Tom for helping us get the film to show off Scale so well!
This is perfect! Exactly how I feel about the hobby,
i agree. well done sir!
Amazing Presentation! GREAT Job!
Free flight is a magical hobby!
@@FreeFlightDigest Absolutely agree! Have done some indoor and a tad bit of outdoor rubber, and just love those planes!
Fabuloso!!!!!
There's just something about balsa models.
Beautiful!
timeless
Very well done thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the video. Question. Are your models weighing above 250g govern by the FAA rules on UAV?
pretty much all of Free Flight is sub 250g.. Indoor Free can be sub ONE grams..
@ongkimchoon7383 so far FAA rules are just for radio control.
@@FreeFlightDigest Interesting. Some of the planes featured in the video had glow engines and I assumed, would be over 250g AUW.

Not my video.
Huh?
@TheRealAviationgeek123 I did not create this video, it was done by other people at NFFS.
