- Flying the rubber-powered peanut scale (13" wingspan) Waco E and Druine Turbulent. Both are powered by a lightly braided 16 inch loop of 3/32" FAI Tan rubber, and need a little more work to get fully in trim. Happy to answer any questions in the comments!
Plans are available for both models online, they're great intermediate peanut builds.

Great to see the next generation of hobby enthusiasts!! Beautiful little flyers!
Waco E, nice day with blue sky and birds songs. Love this.
NICE! Good to see younger people enjoying the hobby.
Great airplanes! thanks for sharing
AMazing little flyer you have
Brilliant
Wow you got lucky with the turbulent, that water was close. Nice flights from some good looking planes.
Impressive
i needed to see this. Thanks
Yes you came very close to that water. Sheesh
Nice models.
Kit or scratch built?
Final AUW.??
Thank you. They are both scratch built, the Turbulent from Walt Mooney's 15" plan reduced to peanut, and the Waco from Micro-X plans. Both were kept pretty light. Final weight without rubber 8-10 g, rubber is 20" loop 3/32" rubber.
Nice. How do you make thrust adjustment. Do you use shims or some mechanism?
Thanks. For the Waco I have a small piece of aluminum from the top of a soda can on the back, tightened into place and adjusted with a glasses screw. The Turbulent is adjusted with strips of 1/64" ply.
That Turbulent, did it hit the edge of a termal?
It did hit some lift I think. And turbulent air true to its name
@@sandfac3427 :-D
weight, please
All 3 of them are 8-10 grams without rubber, motor of 3/32” FAI super sport rubber adds another few grams
Mantap👍👍👍
