The Joy Of Flying Free

Produced by the National Free Flight Society to introduce newcomers to the sport of flying "free flight" model aircraft, The Joy of Flying Free is a beautifully filmed look at a wide range of model aircraft (from the small gliding models to the humongous gas-powered models) and the people who fly them. People like Jim Buxton of the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics and NASA engineer Susan Weisenbach, as well as others, share stories about their love of free flight model aircraft flying. Pointing out the benefits, especially for young people (the hobby encourages learning in math and science, and teaches manual dexterity and patience), The Joy of Flying Free is sure to pique interest in potential enthusiasts. And the lovely indoor and outdoor competition footage of model aircraft flying is fun to watch, for anyone. An unusual and charming program, boasting excellent video and audio qualities, The Joy of Flying Free is highly recommended. (Available from: NFFS, 1655 Revere Dr., Brookfield, WI 53045.)
