The essence of free-flight is that the aircraft have no need for any form of external control. Aircraft of this type have been flown for over two centuries. They are designed to be inherently stable in flight; if disturbed by a gust of wind or a thermal up-current they will return automatically to stable flight. For this reason most free flight aircraft are not replicas of man-carrying ones, for they are designed for a quite different purpose. Their stability is achieved by a combination of design and trim, - the relationship between centre of gravity, wing and tailplane incidence and rudder setting.
Free Flight model aviation, Non-radio controlled aircraft, Rubber, gas, electric, Co2 powered aircraft, Indoor or Outdoor, Model Airplanes, Also several Flight Simulators to choose from, Flight Simulator.
For over twenty years Homegrown Television has been the leader in producing model aviation video tapes. The producer / director of Homegrown Television has been designing and building competition model airplanes for over 35 years, so he really knows his subject.
Make your own flying model of an early airplane. This online guide lists resources for making accurate scale models of pre-1910 aircraft, as well as for replicas of 19th century kites and toy helicopters, etc.
