I met a fellow enthusiast at an event over the weekend that has been flying free flight planes for 40+ years. He talked about the competitions he attends, the technical nature of the pre-flight setup (the perfect control surface settings for max flight time); it really sounded interesting. I think he flies fairly large models because he talked about having a massive rubber band and a machine to wind them. The last free flight plane I built was in the 70's with balsa and tissue paper. It was a cub of some sorts. I think I got a few flights in before it crashed... it was a long time ago.
If anyone knows more about free-flight, has current aircraft, can recommend a good kit, etc. please share.
