This giant rubberpowered airplane flies for more than 40 minutes! No joke! It is incredible! This is the largest handlaunched stick airplane we have ever seen and it weighs only 3.4 grams!

Watch this video and see Josh fly his amazing airplane. It has a 5 foot (1.5 meter) wingspan and requires additional wire support to maintain its structural integrity! The wires are so thin, you can't even see them.

This second annual event took place at the West Baden Springs Hotel in West Baden, Indiana on March 23rd24th, 2019. This contest is to honor a United States F1D indoor free flight world champion, Jim Richmond, and the event is sanctioned/hosted by AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics.)
