Martin XB-51 Takes Flight...Again

Follow
maxfliart

Vance Gilbert's incredible 37" span rubberpowered freeflight model of the Martin XB51 is flown at Geneseo during two FAC contests in 2017 & 2023. First attempts in 2017 led to an unexpected inverted flight. The model's wing angle was revised for 2023, giving her a more stable flight pattern. Not shown, the removal of some tail weight, which allowed her to fly for 73 seconds on 2/3 power. The bird is destined to max at 2 minutes. Designed & flown by Vance Gilbert. Filmed by Tom Hallman & Charlie Sauter, with photos by Clive Gamble.
Music: "Wherever We Go" by Miles Kredich, via ArtList.
