    You're retarded and clearly do not know much of anything relating to this subject. A classic 'Youtube idiot', posting and commenting where you do not belong. A proper free flight rubber powered model can achieve flight times on the order of 10mins indoors. Outdoors, they can fly out of sight.

    The planes shown here are a good attempt, but appear too heavy and overbuilt to fly well, if at all.

  • First off, it is nice to see kids your age with interests other than video games. The plane looks awesome. I own a 1946 Aeronca Cheif myself. The initial take off attempt is a perfect example of the "yaw" that is developed from a single prop aeroplane. I believe you would of had lift off if the main wings had more angle of incedence. If you noticed with a tail dragger, when the tail comes up, the angle at which the main wings intersect the air, they are basically straight. Awesome though!

  • they are very stupids

  • mas inutil impocible jajjaaa

  • On the original design you need dihedral or winglets for stability, the landing gear could be lighter. Do some reading and try again, you can make it work!

  • These were crap.

  • 65 HP? didn't know horses could fly hehe :)

  • Who thought the first plane was WAY bigger?

  • its either to heavey, or needs the prepellors to spin faster.

  • Fly outside, earling morning. Maiden flights require unrestricted airspace. Hand launch over soft grass. Adjust model as necessary.

  • You need either a stronger rubber band, a bigger tail, or launch it gently by hand. If you eliminate the stall they both look like they will fly. Very nice job.

  • put a rc motor on there then it would fly
