I buillt planes from scratch aged 10 cheap as chips at that time Balsa kits came in sheets and strips with plans. i'm 87 now and still like to watch.

Brings back memories of making Guillow's Balsa kits out of Wakefield, Mass.. I stuck with rubber band power but had some very long endurance flights with my Arrow, Javelin and Fairchild models,. Wish I still had a few of the dozen I made in the 60s and early 70s.

LOVE that trick of using a ziplock bag to mix the epoxy

Всё "новое", это хорошо забытое "старое"!!!

I've never seen a small ziplock bag used for mixing and dispensing epoxy, a pretty cool idea.

Safer to use 4 bands on the wing. 2 front to back and then 2 crisscrossed, if one breaks you won’t lose the wing. Nice build. I started building models since 1950, RC since 1970 , rubber power before that. I’m still building. Love it.

Aside from your demonstrable skills, I really appreciate your clever use of jigs to ensure correct angles, evenness, and especially design continuity...in short....construction integrity. Thank you for sharing.

Good Job! I used to build gliders and Rubber Band driven planes when I was a Kid. I'd like to make one again after watching this video

The maiden flight is always the best.Very satisfying! You know you did the perfect build.Great job. I miss my plane building.

Точно как было раньше, и так же собирали. Ностальгия.👍💯💯💯🇷🇺

Aaaah, good ol' balsa wood planes, much better than them foam 1's that's for sure lol use to build these when I was a kid back in the 80's with my dad, so much fun too

I loved building from a box of wood like you did. I only used CA glue to keep weight down. You need a very flat and straight table.

Simplesmente Incrível!

I thought my spotify was playing in the background haha. nice to have some chill music in someone's vid finally. was very pleasant to watch listen to. nice model to

What a great video. Wonderful edit job. Will look for your other posts!

I loved building RC planes. Was half the fun. Goldberg made the best kits before the company was sold.

My dad used to build like this when I was a kid..but the planes would have a gas engine, and be attached to wires so they would fly in a circle held by two handles for steering…he used to let us kids hold the wings while he wound the propellers. Sometimes, we had turns flying them…

The construction sequence is fantastic it really illustrates the whole process. Such an interesting video. Aircraft modelling is exciting thanks for this interesting video.

bulding such models in my youth, without superglue and accelerator, teached me a whole lot about my temper;)))

Such a great plane and build video!

Excellent takes me back to my childhood thanks

Wow, forming the landing gear yourself...this is next level craftsman work. This is balsa building in its purest form. The glue pack that was made...genius 😎 Many building hours

Most of rc plane building videos have impressed me,so has your video😇🤩🙂 Best wishes 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

I could watch an entire channel dedicated to this all day.

That's one of the finest builds I have seen. Great job mann

발사 비행기 진짜 오랫만... 나 어릴 때는 다 저렇게 만들었는데 요즘은 중국산 완성키트 때문에 접근성 좋아진듯.

You have the patience of a saint. I would have given up about a quarter of the way through..

Seria um ótimo presente... Parabéns

Thanks. I remember the days.

nice work. i used to build and fly rc.a great hobby.

Very nice to watch this build. Good job.

There's nothing like the smell of balsa.

I would always use PVA and bond small scrap gussets to hold the parts in place for a good solid bond that will last a lifetime. Having said that I’m unfamiliar with the particular “type” of UHU glue you’re using (hart) so I can’t comment on that. Great build btw, looks nice and solid. 👍😁

Oh how this opening the box flooded back into my memory. And that’s the type of construction I know. Not these ready to fly kits.

That's a cool idea to make such long videos for a beginner plane. It's rare. The video include a impressive case of error you could avoid by seeing it again and again, and think to check the hand and eye of builder, he does not do mouvement freely, he built with care. I do a few other way but globally it's a sane and good method So if I would like on such long vids to find subtitles for the risky moments and made light on them, I found the whole result very good and a must have seen for all who want to begin for fisrt time a new plane from box and wood sheet. Keep an eye on it! Already do? Why did you wait ?? Do it again 😁👍 My 2 cents: (in same bad English than previously) I would say to beginner to choose a simpliest wood glue, slow and easy to use. They could replace adjust and take a longer time to built with error possible where Uhu Hart and Cyano can't. Also cyano is a big big loss of lifeage for the plane. Ok 1st plane could be crashed. But if not, don't hope to keep it flying for decade if built on Cyano. Where wood glue could stay good for decades. A beginner is not fast and use this advantage choosing slow glue is a must to do. 30min wood glue or 2h are perfect, exterior glue is not necessary as your plane will be wrapped and don't suffer from humidity on fly, and you will store it safely too no?)😇 As glue is an heavy subject in building, Cyano is light,wood glue medium light, Uhu Hart mid, epoxy heavy. The strongest is not the best, and not dependant of weight. Use the less glue as possible, take time to swipe the excess after joined parts. Immobilize them together or press it for good flat or square gluing, and keep in mind "light is right"(C.Chapman) so epoxy is heavy glue, don't use too much but use it where its absolutely need, mix it as long as possible (1mn for a quart nut is good, and don't charge too much for avoiding drop, you also could do better gluing when don't need to glue 2 flat pieces, like in angle or for reinforcement, by using wood residus of cut and shape, and mix it with Epoxy, glue became thicker, cure faster, and is much stronger while being lighter due to less glue needed for same spot. On experiment level pilot , the plane could be glue same with microballon of glass, ultra light ultrastrong and relatively cheap👍 Also take time to bought the calque paper for preserving plan, and fixe the plan of a solid and flat, very perfect flat workbench. The better support you fixe the plan, the better the plane will flight. Take time to read it, identify parts in the wood stock, and mind twice before cut anything!!!! Also every cut must be done Ith a new cutter blade, of a new scalpel, balsa is easy to cut but not easy to good cut. Mind also the glue is not all, if you don't have a good joint between two pieces of wood, it's a bad job. Try where you can( without shorten a part that affect the geometry of plane) to cut at right angle to match the destination element, before glu it, adjust your part and see it in place blank. Shape it a bit if needed, eonit on rigid flat support with sand paper double tape on flat, to do it perfectly, use high grain like 500 or 600 , at least 320, to not remove too much baosa when you do adjustment. Bigger paper is only necessary when forming a big bloc but not when the need is a quart of millimeter A good scalpel does not need any sanding after such the cut is perfect At 14:20 you have illustration The angle is just a reinforcement, so it's not a fatal error bit the adjustment is exactly those you want to avoid. See him present the part before gluing. Good method but you see the space on upper side between parts and stabilisator angle, it's horrible. You need to cut half millimeter on power side to reach the side correctly. When both parts joined visually correctly, even if a paper could pass through by few spot, you can glue it The glue could handle the little error. But if you glue it like him in this precise example at 14:33 you ask the glue to reach too much space and it can't. You finally glue on less than half of depth and it could be critical if it concern structural joining. The future pleasure pass with that few attention. Not a big deal for the amount of fun you have when see your job take off for first time. You change a massive tree to a light plane than could take off from ground on its own !!! Totally magic sensation trust me !!! Even after years and years, you always feel this strange magical feeling on every first take off from a personnal built! Yep it's heavier than air, and it's flying and you pilot it ! Woooow 🥰☁️☁️👍 Hope these 2cents help. I still built plane from scratch with conventional method, even draw them from blank page, and love it after 40years of building alone. Cheers from France 🇲🇫

This looks great. It would be nice if we could purchase a kit having a fuselage plus both wings, to allow for skill development.

I wish I had that small iron back in the 80's.

Do you have tutorial on making 50 to 60 cm wingspan of a glider that is made in balsa wood?

Love it! Someone actually building planes like we used to. ARF's are great but try fixing one when you crash it. I guess I'm an old fart now talking about "Back in my day ..."

Great build!!!!

This is magic to watch, nice music too 👏👌👍

Great video loved how it was built

This is built like Carl Goldberg gentle lady

What a great beauty... 😘😘

Merci pour la vidéo 🙂👍

thank you for this beautiful video

thank you, beautiful

Excellent builder

Supper glue works great on balsa..makes joints a lot stronger then epoxy..but real hard to cut apart if it breaks and you want to repair..i built glider with only supper glue...letting student fly it they put it into dive and had electric engine on full then at full throttle dive they did inverted loop..should of snapped wings like dry blades of grass.you could hear wings vibrating from the overspend but the supper glue soaked into area around joint making it twice as strong..

Great work and plane!

I just bought my first balsa plane kit is thick cyanoacrylate (thick super glue) and accelerator suitable to use?

First one ya ever built? Can I suggest thin set CA for your glue. Set the part in place then use a drop to keep it there. If you need more substance at a joint sprinkle some baking soda on the joint then another drop of ca and ya will have a very solid joint quickly. I been building for 40 years. A tip from me to you👍🏻

Looks unbelievably familiar

Hello. Very good movie quality and training

thanks i will check it out!

Hey could you try do a video about, instead of getting laser cut balsa plan pieces to build a plane, why not use those plans and 3D print the parts(ribs)? I know this has been talked about before and weight has been pointed out to be an issue but what about using Lightweight PLA, like others are using to print the plane itself not just the ribs. Just an idea let me know what you think. Thanks!

Nice build.

Thanks!

I remember the days using white glue and pins when cyanoacrylate glue was not available yet.

Splendid! Thank you for your precious video, i want to ask you - where have you bought oracover ?

Bro you are awesome

VOÇE TEM PARA VENDER ESSES AEROMODELOS INCRÍVEIS!!!!!!!!😆😆😆🎵⚱😃😃

GREAT WORK

That is extremely good work it's called talent if i were to do something like this i would mess it up pretty bad, 🤣 this is a extremely cool looking art, bro that is something that should be in a museum it blows my mind that how small and how many hours it takes to build with micro components,

what is the wingspan? and fuse length?

NICE !!!

really neat job

sempurna,mantap om

What adhesives were used on this build?

No set square for main bulkheads? Also you need datum line to make sure fuselage is straight.

I will buy this kit. Is there anyone who can send me a link to the parts that aren't in the kit?

Ótimo gostei!!!!!:

A most excellent adventure . I need Whiskey, a MicroGantry DREMEL CNC , and mayhap the 3DPrinter . and Beer . And it's now 16:20 .

When you like building icebreakers but really want an airplane!

Superb!!

so close to 69k subs

Please don´t get me wrong, but the level how much glue you use is insane... :D

The only thing ugly is the union of the metals in the landing gear, you could have soldered them with tin

god job

Was there a big difference between the wings?

สุดยอด

I tried to build one plane, fuselage came out twisted, i gave up

Сильный ветер , высокая трава и хана 3х лопостному пропеллеру.

Nice!

The landing gear was a little above his skill level.. 😎

Very good nice

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Show!! Your artwork is very interesting. I am passionate about aviation and enjoy everything. Aeromodelling, aerial presentations, videos of airplane piloting and everything that flies. What country are you? I am from Brazil. Congratulations!! One more subscriber.

Bel video bella costruzione. Dove vendono questo kit in quale negozio

You can find solarfilm still??

Pamiętam jak Ja się bawiłem z ogonem takim składanie to w malutkie kawałeczki zamiast w jedną całą część teraz wiem że to był błąd konstrukcja szczególnie to błąd nie dość że słabe to czasochłonne i słabe to samo tyczy się podwozia zamiast wręga ma być okrągła to jest kwadratowa! Daje Ok ze względu na wspaniała pasje jaką Pan ma

what grain of balsa is it?

A word to the wise . Pin the hinges used for the elevators and rudder , with little bits of bamboo cooking skewer . They have been known to pull out in flight.

Me pasa que cuando estoy pasando la plancha el material se contrae y me dobla el balso 😢

"Awesome"

Where did you get the kit?

What no CA with exelerator?

Will you restock your website store anytime soon ?

Is there any chance you can build a super slow airplane? I'm a terrible pilot and the planes I've built are too fast for me to control, so I would like to learn to fly piloting a slow plane that will be easier to maneuver :)
