Thank you. Yes, the old magazines are treasure troves. Lots of interesting models along with all the old, cool ads. Have a small collection that I certainly enjoy.

Yes indeed. Thank you so much. ☺

Thanks John.

Yes indeed Bob. Maybe a future project. 🙂

Thank you Felix.

Thank you Chris.

Thank you Richard.

Thank you Cliff.

Thanks for sharing your story Harry. Maybe you could build another. 🙂

@@Watchingthevideos99 I have the bare bones in my work shop. Maybe I will finish it and give it a shot.

Harry do it! It's a great flyer. If you use a plastic prop, you're likely to need tail weight FYI.

Great flying Moth. What size prop did you carve? How many winds did you get it up to? Did you have to add any clay to balance it? Thank you

@@robinboucherwonderfulflight Thank you for the comment. The Moth sure is a great flyer! I used the prop block shown on the original plan. Pretty sure it's 9 inch diameter. I ended up increasing the motor size to two loops of 3/16th rubber and getting around 950 winds. With the carved prop, the model needed no additional balancing. Came out pretty much spot on. I'm told that if you use a plastic prop, the model requires tail weight to counter the weight of the prop. I recently lost this model at the FAC Non-NATS competition with a flight of over 7 minutes. I'll be build another! Highly recommend the design. Thanks for watching.

Hi Glenn. Thank you for the comment. This model was coated with two light coats of thinned nitrate. Old school. I'm beginning to use Krylon Klear more often for the convenance.

Thank you, John. Old stash on the button timers. They are harder to come by these days. Someone told me they found some on Etzy but I have yet to look.

@@Watchingthevideos99 Thanks for the information.

You're welcome John.

My models are generally flown in Flying Aces competitions which are strictly free flight. I have plenty of small RC jobs for fun. This build produced an "amazingly great flying machine" right off the pages of the 1937 magazine plan. No need for RC. In fact, no ballast required thanks to the carved prop. Quite happy with this model as-is. 😁

@@Watchingthevideos99 Of course, you are, it's great, and for Flying Aces and such we do it naked. Those old ones are just amazing, aren't they? I don't think that those designs can be improved upon. I mention R/C assist specifically for those who either don't have access to a sufficiently large, open flying field and have to keep things close, as well as those not able to or do not have someone to walk long distances or climb trees, etc. to retrieve their models after each flight. As you know, and I mention this for others reading this who may not, R/C assist also prevents losing a model to strong winds aloft, and strong thermals. I know that you know that un-R/C assisted, "pure" FF came to be because there was nothing available back in the day to assist them. Now, we don't have to be chained to the past and we can still enjoy our hobby, maybe more so, but without the frustration of the loss of a good model. Cheers, John.

Yes, totally understand. I suppose I'll reach the point where I'll consider something better than a button timer for a DT and RC is certainly a consideration for that. I do find myself building smaller models that are likely to stay on the field longer. For now, I'm fortunate to still be able to retrieve my models and have a field large enough to fly. Thank you for your comments.

@@Watchingthevideos99 Well, lucky you about the field and your physical ability. Personal progress is a virtue. Long may you wave, brother.
