Farman F.60 Goliath's Show Stopping Flight in Geneseo

This film features a beautifully captured flight by the 50" Farman F.60 Goliath, a rubber-powered free-flight model at the 2024 Flying Aces Nats in Geneseo, NY, built and designed by Vance Gilbert. The flights of a model with zero dihedral were more successful than expected! The approach was inspired by the late, great Bill Hannan and his Boxy Bipe stick model. Film & photos by Tom Hallman, Karin Escalante, Jason McGuire, and George & Jonathan Nunez. Music: "Now I See" by We Dream of Eden via Artist.io.
