1930s planes (free flight) look really good and fly better the new ones are just not that good anymore, cant get any "old school" ones.

[mikewarns]

Bomberguy, I really appreciate these videos, seeing in motion models I've only seen in plan form, but could you add the years of the videos for the people who don't play the "I know that year" game?

Bomberguy,

Lovely video clip! Thank you!

Reminds me of how young people used to be, and reminds me of the civility & social functionality of the British Commonwealth, a half century ago. There's much more going on here than just model airplanes.

young people today are just hunched over their iphones and blackberry headphones on both ear oblivious to whats going on around them.

[rcsupercubbuilder]

Hi Tibor, great to see some people in young generation keeps up FF modelling tradition!

I build these and fly them. I am all by myself though. No kids are doing it anymore. They had them in stores when I was young. The good flying ones. It's good education for kids. It too bad that it's a dying hobby. Too bad for us all.

@AugustusLarch Never fear, you're not alone! I've started building these myself, rekindled a childhood love of anything that flew. Just tonight I managed to drag my friends two boys away from their pc's and over the park to fly them. Hope to do the same again tomorrow :D

[AugustusLarch]

@71cassini

That's awesome.

I have a new hi-start and a half rebuilt HOB 2x4. I should get to rigging it for flight.
