One thing that strikes me is your ability to fly and video simultaneously. The whoops of boy-like joy seem to be the result of careful planning and meticulous attention to detail (like your models). The amount of support equipment you bring out to the field must be impressively complete and organized. <br>I don't think there is anything as dramatic as a rubber powered biplane in the air...I love the sound of the power burst.<br>Beautiful plane, beautiful flying. Thank you.

In every video, the models are very cool. I think this is one of the best model airplane channels.

I came across this yesterday and felt compelled to revisit today. I built balsa gliders in the 70s and thought I knew a bit about model planes, but I had no idea there were such powerful rubber motor planes. I get a good vibe from watching this, almost quasi-meditative. I also find the video well shot and edited. Thank you for sharing your experiments and your excitement.

This has always been my favorite hobby. I can’t believe 40 years has passed by since I’ve last built and flown a plane. Such a great video and such a great plane. I felt the joy as if i was there in person. Slowly making my way through all of your videos since I’ve discovered your channel. Thank you.

Your models are so perfectly built, they remind me of my late Father (RIP).<br>My dad was a perfectionist, he built some astounding model planes and passed the love for this hobby onto myself.<br>I've never been as precise as he used to be but I've had many happy hours building planes :-).
