Sorry, afraid I don't know. Hopefully someone else may be able to help you. The next event is this weekend so if you're able to make it, you may be able to see it yourself and ask the owner.

Their plans (most of them) are for free download ! they can be found here : www.ffscale.co.uk/ ; Loads more here : www.outerzone.co.uk ; as for where you get them ? you BUILD them ! and its rewarding fun.

Wolf Clips you build them, usually from plans

It was indeed! I think the trees were too far away to give an idea of the wind, but if you look at the wind sock at 5:35 it's all over the place!

Good to know, thanks! That's quite a journey, a bit longer than mine... just 10 miles away! Very lucky to have it on my door step :-)

In the 70's I lived in Bedford and commuted to Vauxhall every day. Both my kids were born in Bedford. Attended all the model events at Old Warden (remember Kite Day?). Transferred to Opel, which is what got me to Germany. The long weekend to Old Warden and back is pure nostalgia and well worth all the driving. Not just for the model flying, but raiding Sainsbury's for pork pies, Cornish pasties, English sausages, English bacon.........

Thanks for the extra info, I didn't seem to get either of those on film. The "Q-Tee" is just what it says on the tin. Might be one to add to my list. What's the motor/ESC/prop set-up on it? Was it flying on a timer? Cheers :-)

Thanks :-)

Hi, I believe it is a Golden Eagle III. There's some discussion on it at hippocketaeronautics.com here: www.hippocketaeronautics.com/hpa_forum/index.php?topic=2554.0

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the comment Mike :-)

+korale I'm afraid I don't know. Hopefully someone else might. Failing that, I'll ask at the next one in July if I see it there :-)

+tbobborap1 Thank you, me too. I've replied to your other comment too, but thought I might as well reply here too :-) Free-flight is on the Saturday and Sunday at all the ModelAir events at Old Warden. Sunday is looking the best weather-wise for this weekend, but I'll be there both days :-)

+MrDazedOne thanks again - pete

+tbobborap1 Thank you, me too (although normally my models have a rudder as I can't afford to lost them!). Free-flight is on the Saturday and Sunday at all the ModelAir events at Old Warden. Sunday is looking the best weather-wise for this weekend, but I'll be there both days :-)

+MrDazedOne many thanks, prob go sunday, last time i went old warden was 2000 !

+Jerry Anstey Hi, thanks for your comment. I'm assuming you're talking about the most pervasive, loud, high-pitched humming? This is mostly the control-line planes about 100 metres or so away. But there are also the engines of some of the powered free-flight models and an RC section with some pretty large planes all adding to the lovely background noise :-)

Vintage Balsa

+Vintage Balsa Thanks. Yes, I will be there. Have been to the previous 2 this year too but I'm too busy flying to do much recording! Will try harder in September. My father-in-law recorded the free-flight area for the July one though. Link to video here: ua-cam.com/video/r4-TXbnkEQY/v-deo.html

+MrDazedOne Thanks.

Hi, sorry, I must have missed this question when you posted it. Some of the gliders are being towed by someone running along the ground with a fish-line or similar, but most are being launched with a bungee. The one I use with the red & white West Wings Swallow is based on the Peterborough Club 36" glider event (www.peterboroughmfc.org/membersmodels2012/05BungeeGlider.htm), namely 5 foot or so of 1/8" rubber and then 10 foot of light tow-line from freeflightsupplies.co.uk.

Thanks.

imcarlvideos Not at all, they are obviously not my planes and were on public view so see no reason why not.

imcarlvideos I'm afraid I don't know. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I can answer. The next Old Warden Free Flight event is this weekend so if I see those models again I'll ask and let you know :-)

Thank you very much for replying and offering to investigate. I love the look of the old timers and that particular plane caught my eye. I am thinking of trying a scratch build and that plane would be great, although I am very much a beginner.

vic smeed madcaps?

Well spotted, Tim. The plan for the Madcap on Outerzone looks to be for the same plane www.outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=3445

Raymond Merrill Thank you, the wind was pretty smooth for the most part. It still caught me out on a few occasions though, ending up in a tree on one! No major harm done though and I still fly it most flying days as a relaxing warm up before trying my hand at something faster :-)

zhillsx Thanks, very nice of you to say so. No chase plane, just my father-in-law's steady hand on the camcorder :-)

Thanks for your comment. Somehow I've only just noticed it :-)

It is a great event, next one in March :-)

Thank you for your kind comment. It's how I love to fly it best... off a slope with a gentle breeze, with it straight in front of me, not craning my neck to squint at a speck in the sky :-)

not a park flyer

Greg Inman takes forever to land

Getting one in 4 weeks ;)

HobbyDude Lucky you! Have fun :-) Mine's currently grounded awaiting modification of the firewall to take a new motor, after I bent the shaft of the original motor when moving house :-(

HobbyDude How'd it go?
