    Great instructional learning video. What is an IPA brush that is mentioned at the 4:20 mark? Fantastic flights.
  • I've been into aeronautical hobbies for 30+ years. Never understood the rubberband group until seeing this. That sir was extremely impressive and I applaud you on your build, and flight!

    Must be pretty light, Oliver! Excellent build and flights!
  • Really enjoyed your video! There are a lot of excellent techniques in your build, each worthy of its own video. Bending balsa for the tail, adding the bass lamination, formula and technique for the prop build, applying wet tissue, and the list goes on.
  • Proud to know you and fly with you young man. This is how I started 2024 - watching you work magic. Thank you..

    That would make a gorgeous light R/C park flyer! Suggest having the props counter-rotate outwards (at the top) for more stable flight. Several full scale aircraft do this the Lockheed P-38, Henschel 129, and Convair Model 48 Charger.
  • Watching high level stick and tissue models flying, restores my faith in humanity; not everyone has to buy RTF planes made out of foam.

    Congratulations Oliver, great project! I have fond memories of the first FAC Nats you attended. We shared George White’s shade. I was impressed with your enthusiasm and how much you had been able to learn from the internet. Again, great job!
  • I love the simple artistry of rubber band powered flight.

    Amazing ! ....... I sat mesmerised through the whole thing, whilst my breakfast went cold over on the counter.
