This Start to Finish film details the process of building & flying a profile model airplane, called "no-cals" by the Flying Aces Club, where it is an official flying event with unlimited duration. No-cal models are light yet quick to build, bringing speedy enjoyment as a rubber-powered free-flight model.
Filmed and flown by Tom Hallman on 6.25.22 in Wawayanda, NY, using a Canon PowerShot SX20, iPhone 11Pro & 14Pro. Music via the talented musicians at artist.io, who breathe life into my films. Additional thanks to Pete Kaiteris for his paperclip thrust bearing holder idea.
