    As a kid, all the kits I built were die-cut. More accurately, they were die-crunched. Laser cutting has brought a level of precision we could only dream of back then. Fitment and precision are 50X better with today's kits, not to mention the ease of removing parts from the sheets. I just wish they could figure out how to cut without leaving char!

    @steveperry1344 Месяц назад

    i used to build models like that back in the early 60's some for flying and some for static display. they were mostly rubber band powered but always came out to be too heavy probably from too much glue and dope so i would turn them into gas powered with some cox glowplug motors flying them with ucontrol lines or freeflight. it was kinda before r/c was available for kids to have. i enjoyed watching,thnx.

    I found that it is difficult to buy the RC components and motor. It is cheaper when you order a whole ready-made RC plane. They are on Amazon starting at 35 dollars. To order the parts separately can be troublesome and it is even more expensive.

    Nice work. Suggestion: use a 2ft by 4ft drop ceiling tile instead of cutting your plans down to fit the cork board. The pins will actually go deeper into that tile and will hold stronger.

  • @wearemany73

    I had one of these that sadly never flew under its own power. I tried for days to get the engine started as a child but it resisted all attempts to run. It took one brief (man powered) flight into the garage wall and landed in the bin. Yay glow engines! 😃 Electric models couldn’t come too soon for me and I’ve enjoyed flying RC (over forty years) since. ❤

  • @davidfincham5181
    @davidfincham5181 2 месяца назад

    Hi, built one of these around 1963 when I was 13. I remember using a Wenmac 049 engine that I believe cost around £1 then. It tought me to fly control line very quickly and it was tough enough to take most of my crashes without too much damage. When building the model I always cover the parts before putting it all together as it’s easier to get to all the edges especially the wings and tail. I noticed one thing about your build and that was the fuselage sides are reversed with the holes for the lead out wires on the wrong side but it looks great and a very nostalgic video, thanks for sharing.😊
