A lovely day for some flying today!
Can never start them too young, these two had a great time having a go on a buddy system. I don’t think the plane knew what hit it! But it’s always a win when there’s no crashes.

Looking for your first plane to 3D print? Try out the free Model T from Eclipson. It’s an easy build, can be fully printed in PLA and the wings are simply to remove for transport and storage.

It’s an easy flying plane, a simple hand launch and belly lander. Here is the maiden video at the club last summer.

Aeromodelling is not a computer game. Mistakes have consequences but with a little determination, anything can be fixed. Proper life skills!

If you were wondering how a 3D printed plane performs , here is a little montage of ‘The WhatFor’ - a take on the well known Wot4 Foam-E.

All 3D printed, even the wheels and tyres!

Did you get a 3D printer for Christmas? Fancy a big project? Well print yourself a model airplane!

At the Glasgow Barnstormers we’ve been hit with the 3D printing bug and been flying all sorts of 3D printed planes.

Fancy learning to fly model airplanes and building something like these? Get in touch, new members are always welcome. We can even teach you to fly!

While we wait on the new runway being finished (not long now), there’s some time to reflect and reminisce on the great times and friends the hobby has given us - some sadly not with us anymore. It’s not the planes - it’s the pals!
