Free Flight Scale Fly-in at
Free Flight Scale Fly-in at Lodge farm nr Grantham.
A wonderful event in near perfect conditions and in October too. That doesn't happen very often
Bit of an epic this one as Pete Fardell was filming as well so a joint effort.
Free flight scale is the art of trimming a scale model to fly unaided, it's often a matter of tiny adjustments until that 'perfect' flight is achieved and that's pretty much what can be seen here. Some lovely flights but not all flights are lovely. The models are designed to take this kind of punishment without any real damage. When you hit that perfect flight though the reward is huge, way beyond any other form of aeromodelling I have tried
Models include:
Mike Smiths' DH Tiger Moth
Andrew Hewitt's 1913 Dyott monoplane
Ray Hall's Blackburn B2 now under my ownership and re-engined with an Indian Mills 1.3 (not yet run in properly)
Mike Smith's Airco DH4 Mail Plane
Pete Fardell's 1917 Cessna 'Jones Six'
My Cessna 170 with Redfin 030 power
Dave Causer's new DH Puss Moth - this was it's maiden flight..very impressive
Chris Chapman's re working of the old Jetex Interceptor kit now with ducted fan
Andrew Hewitt's Moraine-Soulnier Type L
Pete Fardell's Bleriot XI
Andrew Hewitt's Fokker E1
Pete Fardell's Auster Agricola
Andrew Hewitt's Nieuport 17 from his OD
Dave Causer's Luscombe Silvaire
Andrew Hewitt's Fokker DII This was an early flight it was flying brilliantly later
Pete Fardell's Fairchild Argus
Andrew Hewitt's new mini-vintage
My SAM 25 powered Tom Thumb
Chris Chapman's Fairey Delta 2 edf
