I had seen that video before, and was amazed. I am glad you shared it, as it is truly an awesome video, and I had not seen it in a long time.

Have played with that as well Merv but time just doesn't allow yet to get right into it.

What really fascinates me is the indoor ones that weigh just a few grams and are made of what looks like soap bubbles and spider webs. Those big props turn about 3 RPM, the planes just seem to hang there for ever and they steer them around by waving a piece of paper!

I have built some of this stuff Merv but no where near the quality of the model shown.
The other issue for me is finding enough room to fly the dang thing.
It is a great sense of accomplishment even if you only get one successful flight.

That level of skill is way beyond comprehension for the average "pull it out of a box and plug it together" modern builder. My hat is off to the free flight guys. Not only do they cut out and shape every single piece that goes into those works of art, they design and trim in the flight path it will take in the air after release!

Free flight is truly a level of consciousness higher than us RC guys.

Re: extra large rubber's

It's an amazing feat to build a rubber model light enough and true enough to make a flight like that.
