This is the Marin Aero Club blog. We're from all over the San Francisco Bay Area and share a common interest in building and flying model airplanes, mostly rubber powered free flight.

Think you got it tough? Try winding four engines!
Rather frightening flight by Dennis Norman's amazing B-24 Liberator. Video posted to YouTube by maxfliart.
Not just "frightening", but lucky too!! It appears that the right wingtip just grazes the grass on the last spiral before the power ran out. Just a few inches lower and the model would probably have been "history"! Impressive, though!!
That was a short but exciting flight. It would be a shame to crash a plane like that after so much work to build it. My hat is off to the people who do projects like that.
