John, I love your video's. You probably have the largest R/C glider collection in the world. My brother and brother in-law want to get in to R/C flying and I was going to suggest learning on a Carl Goldberg Gentle Lady, but after watching this video, I think this Lazy Bee would be even better than a Gentle Lady for learning. This appears to be an Andy Clancy Designs powered Lazy Bee turned into a glider, but did you build the 48" version or did you modify it more than just turn the powered airplane into a glider?
@@larry903s Keep in mind that John is an experienced R/C pilot. The Lazy Bee, as charming as it is, has some disadvantages. A Gentle Lady (if you can find one) would be a much better choice for a beginning builder and pilot. A Sig Riser would be a great choice as well.
@@SlopeRCGliders and I see from the comments that this may not be the best choice for a first timer but you make it look like it will fly itself Thanks

Jesus Christ is our only salvation creator of this world and Mankind when she gives free will to fortunately and unfortunately life is short and death is eternal Heaven or Hell which one will you choose
Absolutely brilliant ! An inspired choice of music and I love that colour scheme. It's a good job it was heading inland when the rudder parted company or it would've found a new owner in Ireland !🤣👍
Yep. And the hours building and finishing followed by a crash, rebuilding, flying a little longer, crash, then finally mastery. It was a steep learning curve but worth it in the end.
Johns signature launches, Hold by wing tip and let go or hold overhead let go. One can only dream of having a place like this to fly from. Thanks for giving us the pleasure of watching you fly. Just so relaxing. Thanks from Georgia, USA.
I don't usually approve of music on flying videos but this is perfect - beautiful music and beautiful flying. I must drag my old (electic powered) Lazy Bee out of my loft hangar. Amazed it flew so well without the rudder which is also the fin. That'll larn you to pin the hinges :)
Whenever I watch these types of videos I am always determined to get involved in these hobbies BUT then reality sets in. I am already older and don't have enough time for the little things I do now. Once I remind myself that this man is an expert pilot and I would be starting from scratch, I sit back and watch more of these videos. Thanks to all of you wonderful, talented pilots out there that share your hobby and your skills with us.......... especially along with relaxing music and serene settings. 🙏🏼
Do it.. Grab yourself an XK A800 and have some fun when its flat calm.. or on the slope when winds are only 2-4mph. It has autolevel and manual modes and is also stabalised. A good cheap starter motor glider for beginners. Very easy to fly.
You might try an RC simulator for computer like Real Flight. If you crash in that, no harm, no foul. If you get so you can fly what you want in that you can reasonably expect to fly a model. RTF (ready to fly), electric power & simulators have made RC a lot easier.
this is a way to get started hobbyking.com/en_us/h-king-axn-floater-1280mm-pnf.html?wrh_pdp=7 There is a almost cult following of this design ;) and yes can also be used for slope soaring.
Thumb up for the beautiful aircraft, thumb up for the smooth flight, thumb up for the soundtrack, thumb up for the awesome production and thumb up for the lovely end! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Tchaikovsky: Waltz of The Flowers Op.71 + custom Giant Lazy Bee (glider version) + Team Woodfield = The best syncronized slope edit in existence! Truly beautiful, bravo! Thank You!
Let us not forget about the wonderful Looney Tunes/Bugs Bunny/ Elmer Fudd cartoons that include these wonderful tunes as well, lol. Seriously though, they brought classical music to many of us that may never have had heard classical music otherwise.
Pretty good and nice Not only for the hobby pleasure but also for the health of the player in terms of having a fresh and clean air for breathing. Jealous of you. Great!
I don't know if that's a curse or a blessing to be old enough to have a wealth of knowledge that spans the gap between RC videos and dancing hippos but hey, I'm right there with you.👍 Oh and by the way, thanks alot, now I have the image of those dancing hippos in my head and I can't get it out.🤪
I Think Andy Clancy had a great creation in the lazy bee. I bulit one with a small glow engine what a fun plane to fly, i wish Andy was still making models for us to enjoy. Looks like you were having a ton of fun with this one. Great Video thanks for sharing!!
Very nice flying airplane. I started flying model airplanes in 1957 when I was 11 years old. They had gasoline engines and real spark plugs. They were called Old Timers and we scratch built them from plans drawn in 1939.
Apart from the little incident with the rudder I would say this clip with the music the landscape is the perfect advertisement for the craft of building and flying model aircraft. For myself, I was a model aircraft builder which ended by my joining the Royal Air force! A wonderful thing to do.
Hi John, Just came in from mowing the lawn and a nice way to unwind for five minutes. Great save when the vertical fin decided to go bye bye. Music was spot on. Katherine did a fantastic job with the camera. Stay safe.
Being an old modeler, all I can say is WOW! This is the flyingest model I've ever seen and it literally "dances" to the music. I never knew a wide chord would proved that kind of maneuvering. Great video.
Such a perfect little plane for putting the ski doing simple stunts. Look like a blast and fun to fly.i think I'm going to make the eazy bee my next build.
I agree, it seemed like every club had at least one showing up. As for mine... lol this was my first complete build started on Christmas day '95 with a bet that I could finish and maiden by the New Year... FF⏩ lost the bet lol, and did my maiden exactly 1yr after the original bet date. It was cold...
It's Kevin in NSW NORTHERN RIVERS LISMORE !!!! WHERE THE HUGE FLOODS WERE EVER THING ALL OF US HAD WASHED AWAY !! 45 YEARS OF TOOLS ,PANAL BEATER SPRAY PAINTER I HAVE BEEN ,, THEN 4 WEEKS LATER AGAIN,, POST TRAMORMATIC STRESS BAD !!!! BUT WATCHING YOUR WONDERFUL GLIDERS TAKES ME AWAY!! TAKES MY MIND OF THINGS I COMENTED A WEEK AGO ABOUT THE X WING YOU MADE ! AND THIS ONE AGAIN IS SO WONDERFUL,,AND THE CONTROL YOU HAVE IS FANTASTIC AND PRESISE,, I WISH I COULD BE THERE WATCHING IN PERSON , FEELING THE BREEZE SEEING YOU FLY , BUT THE VIDEOS LIFT MY SPRITES AND TAKE MY MIND OF THINGS !!!!! 🤯 KEEP BULDING AND FLYING , YOUR BRILLIANT AND A FANTASTIC PILOT !!! THANKS FROM KEV 😉
Brilliant. Never saw it as a slope soarer till now. Decades ago I had one with a small PAW diesel with throttle, elevator and rudder. In a strong wind I was flying the think backwards. Even the aerobatic boys were impressed. It was a light as a feather. A fantastic design by Clancy if I remember. I like the sound track too. You have no need to worry about landing scratches!!! Thanks. Superb. Try full up elevator and full left rudder after a good stall. It will spin easily. Pete
Fantastic! I built a really great towline glider back in the day (called the 'Jetco 50') but no R/C. You made your own fuse and tied it to the rubber band the secured the tail assembly. The fuse burned down (about 12" per minute) and the tail assembly disconnected itself from the fuselage but for a string holding in on and the plane tumbled to the ground (or, in my case, somewhere out in Lake Ontario :-( ). Yours is the penultimate expression of what a pet glider can be - love the color scheme too 💖
Now that I am retired I need to find my plans for this little bird, one thing about it is it can practically fly off a mouse fart, it's that light compared to the available wing loading.
I had forgotten to pin the tail hinges in place and the rudder flew off in mid flight. Luckily it landed perfectly.
Touch some wood, :)
?---w.e.e.d---?
What you like John... Lol
Pin? Don’t you glue the hinges in place John? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Keep in mind that John is an experienced R/C pilot.
The Lazy Bee, as charming as it is, has some disadvantages.
A Gentle Lady (if you can find one) would be a much better choice for a beginning builder and pilot.
A Sig Riser would be a great choice as well.
Perfect choice in music!
I can't help but think of 'Caddyshack' when I hear that music.
I think "Flight of the bumble bee" would have matched the title better, but does move like a bee at all so maybe a slowed down version haha
61Benster 😂😂😂
Haven’t seen that in years!,, oh Bill Murray hahaha
It's "Waltz Of The Flowers".
@@dreamdiction From "The Nutcracker Suite". That, and Bugs Bunny, are how most of us know that composition.
Majestic. Turns on a dime. So healing and relaxing. Masterful flying skills Jonn!!
What a gift your videos are.
Thank you!
@@SlopeRCGliders and I see from the comments that this may not be the best choice for a first timer but you make it look like it will fly itself Thanks
These videos are a pure joy. Love the lazy bee.
tenderheart62 ......that’s what I tried to say!………………thanks.
@@snowgorilla9789 my 3s lazy bee flys similar -i dont have a slope handy so i have a motor but it floats in deadstick nicely
Adorable! Like a flying pet that now and then returns to be fed a snack by hand and then goes off again to play.

not me, i was looking for a link or some kind of information on the glider, of course there wasn't any,,,,,
could probably fly indefinitely with some panels on the wings to recharge during the day
Yup. It's a 2s 450mah. Still at 50 percent charge.
Outstanding shipmate. in this crazy world we need something to take our minds off the madness.
The mind is the mad Thing your Talking about ... the World is Perfectly fine!!!
Tow a White Lives Matter banner with it

Give whoever's behind the camera a raise. Perfect tracking and ultra smooth, wow. Lovely flight as well, what a great plane.
Thank you. My wife always comes out and films my flying. She is very good at it.
Yes, indeed
Absolutely brilliant ! An inspired choice of music and I love that colour scheme. It's a good job it was heading inland when the rudder parted company or it would've found a new owner in Ireland !🤣👍
RC slope soaring....really takes me back to my youth. Happy days. That’s a fabulous site too. Really enjoyed👍
Yep. And the hours building and finishing followed by a crash, rebuilding, flying a little longer, crash, then finally mastery. It was a steep learning curve but worth it in the end.
Your hand launches are ridiculously cool.
Awesome as ever, thanks for posting.
Thank you!
Finally!..someone who knows how to pick the right music for the occasion, BRAVO!!
Johns signature launches, Hold by wing tip and let go or hold overhead let go. One can only dream of having a place like this to fly from. Thanks for giving us the pleasure of watching you fly. Just so relaxing. Thanks from Georgia, USA.
Cinematography perfectly paired with music selection...totally captivating!
Thank you.
Isn't Ridge Soaring Magical ? That little glider loves that onshore breeze and all that wonderful LIFT !
With your expert flying skills you fly it so gracefully and so well choreographed to the music too. Fantastic video thank you for sharing.
Wonderful! So nice to watch. The Music 🎶 is a great complement to the plane's moves. Bravo!
Beautifully built and flown. I was mesmerized by the dancing in the wind. Wonderful talent.
What a joyous video and to boot, shot on my doorstep. I have walked and swam at this beach many many times. Loved it.
Thanks for watching. So glad you enjoyed it!
‘Oh My’, I want one - Hold, live in the real world, this is in the hands of a ‘Master’ !! Brilliant as ever, a few minutes of bliss .......
Fantastico modello... fantastica location... fantastico abbinamento musicale... 5 minuti di relax fantastici! Bravo!
As if to answer the question I posed on your last video 😀. What a way to brighten up a rainy day. Thanks, Mr & Mrs John, beautiful.
I don't usually approve of music on flying videos but this is perfect - beautiful music and beautiful flying. I must drag my old (electic powered) Lazy Bee out of my loft hangar.
Amazed it flew so well without the rudder which is also the fin. That'll larn you to pin the hinges :)
Thanks to both of you. Superb flying and a nice choice of music as well.
Seriously skilled slope soaring, and the perfect backing track, the landing positively enviable, keep making videos for us to enjoy! (Please!)
Remnded me a lot of surfing a fun wave in a kayak! Very soothing and still exciting!! Thanks so much.
Now that put a Big SMILE on my face-- Love it
Moi de même !
Superb video, amazing dancing and coreography at music times, and also colours scheme like your shirt.
Bravo Sir
Successfully dispelling the myth that gliders have to have skinny high aspect ratio wings! Beautiful!
I have a 60s flying wing with 3m span , the wing is 37cm wide on the entire length 😏 that is a lot of surface area
@

That was Fantastic !!! What a beautiful location for coastal slope soaring. Excellent choice of music and editing.
Thank you!
Lazy Bee dances the slow waltz. Perfect music choice. Amazing flying.
Beautiful choreography for the nutcracker. Love it, thanks
That is so cool, reminds me of my first RC, a Goldberg Gentile Lady. Good ole two channel, polyhedral born for ridge lift.
By far my favorite video of yours!
Perfect flight with perfec music! 👍
Apart from the little incident with the rudder I would say this clip with the music the landscape is the perfect advertisement for the craft of building and flying model aircraft.

That looks so relaxing and peaceful , great stress reliever not too mention fun. love it !!!
John Woodfield,What a beautiful bird and great work flying it,I want one.
What a beauty! Very nice editing with perfect music too! Glad it survived the rudderless landing!
Great flying, great music a superb photographer !
Hi John,
Just came in from mowing the lawn and a nice way to unwind for five minutes. Great save when the vertical fin decided to go bye bye. Music was spot on. Katherine did a fantastic job with the camera. Stay safe.
Wonderful choreography to beautiful music... very nicely stitched together. Thanks for a magnificent video!

Thank you. I do love the way it flies.
How elegant flight can be with just rudder and elevators .
right? I love using just two servos on my gliders, it feels so minimalistic!
Do a barrel roll!
oh thats right you can't.😔
@@KaneLono i mean technically under the right conditions it could do a barrel roll
But definately not an aileron roll
ailerons get in the way when u wanna enjoy JUST flying. where is my lawnchair
Kane Lono Who cares?
Love the launch by a wing tip. Kitty Hawk was my first slope soar. Will never forget “hovering” within arms reach. Magical.
perfectly choreographed to Tschaikovsky's "Waltz of the Flowers!"
Мудаки недовольны...
Спасибо Вам!
Вы- летчик!
What a amazing flying machine....nice flying my friend
Very graceful craft. You picked the right music too.
My goodness that last landing and your face right after. Beautiful video John, the music added so much to it. 👏👏
Such a perfect little plane for putting the ski doing simple stunts. Look like a blast and fun to fly.i think I'm going to make the eazy bee my next build.
Increadable how easy it is to launch.. Well flown too.
I remember the Lazybee phase in the 90's we all had one.
I agree, it seemed like every club had at least one showing up. As for mine... lol this was my first complete build started on Christmas day '95 with a bet that I could finish and maiden by the New Year... FF⏩ lost the bet lol, and did my maiden exactly 1yr after the original bet date. It was cold...
It looks like a butterfly that flutters happily, with a very coherency musical background. I loved it ...
Thank you.
@@SlopeRCGliders 👏
Imagine what the Wright brothers would think of this, if they could see this footage. How flawless the physics of flight look
I don't know what was more relaxing, watching the flight with an absolutely beautiful backdrop, or the music...
Ok all of the above! Just perfect. 👍
Thank you!
OMG THIS ONE PUTS A BIG BIG SMILE ON MY FACE. 😃😃😃😃😃
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for posting these visual essays , the perfect blend of art and science.
Thank you for watching!
This almost made me shed a tear, absolutely beautiful
Thank you!
Very beautiful flight and the music too.💕🙋
BTW, I think they call that "Tail Flutter"...fluttering back to earth. And that final landing was fabulous.
It's like an obedient labrador puppy, determined to both have fun and please its master - charming.
Once again you have out done yourself my good man, cheers for a pleasant interlude to life.

Thanks Kev. I hope thing improve for you soon.
That is the best thing I've seen in a while.
So cool this glider 2 axles ! Good pilot and great choice for the music ... I like too much !!!
fantastic skills, this lzay beauty will certainly get someone to learn to use the rudder
Brilliant.
Never saw it as a slope soarer till now.
Decades ago I had one with a small PAW diesel with throttle, elevator and rudder.
In a strong wind I was flying the think backwards.
Even the aerobatic boys were impressed.
It was a light as a feather.
A fantastic design by Clancy if I remember.
I like the sound track too.
You have no need to worry about landing scratches!!!
Thanks.
Superb.
Try full up elevator and full left rudder after a good stall.
It will spin easily.
Pete
Thanks Pete. I’ll give it a go. I did get it to fly inverted for a while by pulling out after half an outside loop. They are certainly fun to fly!
Could be my favorite so far! I have a powered Lazy Bee, flight characteristics are very similar, although your location is definitely better!
very nice John 👍😃🇺🇸🙋
Reminds me of a twice size tomboy I had many years ago, took me 2 hrs to get the thing down, nearly had seven heart attacks.
Your plane looks and flys so beautifully I want one! Thank you for sharing.
Amazing flying skills - so entertaining!
The sound track was spot on! Thx. for sharing. Happy landings. :)

CONGRATULATIONS
AND GREETINGS FROM MEXICO CITY.
very good Job on the Lazy Bee John to bad you these kits arent available any more ,greetings to the family hopefully everyone is healthy ,
She’s a beautiful dancer. The best aerial waltz I’ve ever seen (I suspect her pilot had a bit to do with it).
Thank you.
You make it all look so easy...Wonderful flying, video & music, perfect!
Can you imagine showing this to Leonardo Da Vinci? You'd blow his mind.
In a time before Bernoulli and Newton, he would have had no idea how airfoils work so yeah he'd think of you as a magician
He'd say " THAT'S IT!"
As impressive a craft as it is, the pilot was the most impressive. Great video thank You for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Amazing, really beautifull flying.
Love it, low and slow. Reminds me of paragliding in Wales
