Test flights by the 28" Farman F.60 Goliath, a rubber-powered free-flight nocal model, built and designed by Vance Gilbert. These flights of a model with zero dihedral act as a test bed for a 50" fully framed model of the same. The approach was inspired by the late, great Bill Hannan and his Boxy Bipe stick model. Film & photos by Chris Parent & Vance Gilbert. Music: "Away" by Ian Post via Artist.io.
