 It
All Started with Free Flight
Free Flight is the granddaddy of all airplane modeling, and is
still going strong. As early as 1916, a rubber-powered model flew
more than a mile. Free-flight enthusiasts take great joy in
watching fragile, winged replicas they built themselves stay aloft for
minutes at a time. Free-flight models can be sailplanes and
gliders or have rubber-band-powered propellers. Many smaller
models can be flown indoors in arenas or gymnasiums during foul weather.
When these planes fly, there are no wires nor radio equipment
controlling or guiding them. Quality of workmanship, plus patience
make these planes fly. Free flight offers an excellent opportunity
to teach youngsters building skills and the theory of flight dynamics.
Those new to free flight should read about aerodynamics.
A basic understanding of why something heavier than air can fly will
enhance your appreciation of the free-flight hobby.
