Martinsyde Video

Indoor flight of two rubber powered Martinsydes at Pautuxent River Naval Air Base in MD, 1993. First is the 30" Martinsyde Buzzard by Dave Rees, followed by the 21.5" Martinsyde S.1 by Tom Hallman. Half way thru the S.1 flight you hear Pat Daily's beautiful CO2 powered Albatross circling closely in the opposite direction, nearly causing a mid-air....oh lucky day. Video by David Franks.
