  • The Glastonbury Modelers are a group of free flight aircraft enthusiasts that fly gliders and rubber powered models at the Glastonbury High School Gym located at Glastonbury, CT. Throughout the fall and winter, we gather once a month to fly our models. This video is a collection of models flying from our fourth session of the 2023/24 season. Our January event was cancelled due to weather and the contest originally scheduled for January was moved to this date. Our next flying session will be held on April 7th. Our full schedule can be found at the end of the video. Special thanks to Arne Hansson for helping out with the video and also thanks to John Kramer and John Rood for help with photos.

      You're welcome. Just trying to let everyone know that indoor flying is still a "thing". Keep looking, you might just find a new site! Use my videos as motivation! Thanks for watching.

    Another great video but was looking forward to seeing the WWll mass launch. Were you doing the camera work?

      Thank you, Mike. HA HA. I was flying in the WWII mass launch and my camera helper had already left. The nice thing was I won the event with my P51B. A tough battle!

      Pretty sure that design was published in the NFFS Digest but I cannot provide the month and date of the issue. There is a link for the NFFS in the description and I believe that digital copies of the Digest are available for viewing. Thanks for watching.
