The BMFA Indoor Scale Nationals returns after a 2 year gap due to Covid and what a great event it turned out to be. Huge thanks to Graham Kennedy, Mike Stuart and the team for organising it
I had a great day though the filming had to fit in around my own classes ( and repairs) so I didn't necessarily get the best flights.

These models are more than paper and wood, they are examples of Fine Art❤ how nice is the hobby of aero modeling in all its ways.

@@gamer_god8416You really lack self initiative. Imagine going your whole life wishing you could just place an order for a plane kit and follow the instructions to glue it together. Can you dress yourself?

Those models are more than paper and wood. They are paper, wood, and rubber bands.

I was very surprised to see this video pop up in my feed, and so glad I dropped by! This whole scenario of indoor flying took me back to my early teen years when I attended a youth club that taught us how to build balsa planes in one of our hobby classes. Nice to see the mix of white haired folk paired up with youthful apprentices. Lots of fun for everyone!

I seriously thought that small white one was radio controlled. It looked like it was going to fly through the gallery twice. Most excellent!

Takes me back to the 70’s when my uncle started a club which is still going today I believe. We did indoor free flight, outdoor control wore and there were one or two people who could afford radio control. I also recall round the pole indoor flying which was great fun.

The very part of the Aero modelling hobby and the subject I love the most.. Requires great skill to Build, Trim and fly these aircraft. Beats the sound of a 'Wasp trapped in a barrel' any day.

Why don't they use a motor to wind the rubber bands?

@squirrelnet28 5 ай бұрын

Winding by hand allows more feel of the torque of the motor. For competitions they are wound to just short of breaking point which is easier to judge on a hand winder
