Anyone play with these?


Out for a New Years Day walk when GF and I came across this, Very interesting for those light wind days.

Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

Yup...I play...


Indeed...I've been flying RC since I was 12...Slope/Thermal/Gas/Glow/Electric/Helis and RC Aerial Photo/Video.

This one from my custom-designed pink foam Aerial platform (designed to be super staple). No autopilot of special gear...

I think we all have something for the no wind days. I have a dodge ram that I drove around at NABX a few years ago with my gopro mounted on the roof of the truck, got some good movies.
When I get bored in the office I have these to play with.

Oh yes , I have gliders from 1 to 4.5 meter and gas planes to 150 cc. I have several tip launch gliders but prefer a winch or hi start.

Hi Sean
that looks like it's really fun. I dig the way the guy starts the thing flying.

Say hi to Becky for me and tell her she needs to come back to Sunset this year!

We plan on being down for the week in the spring. So you had better have more than weekends off.

Alula


Here's my Alula discus launch from a couple years back...still have it here, sitting on shelf behind me, just flew it last month.
Although I was playing on a slope, it's got a pretty good glide ratio for a wing.

What's the name/wingspan of your sailplane Kober? I've always been interested in getting me a "full-house" glider with all the goodies (flaperons/spoilers/butterfly)...

Maybe I'll scratch build me one out in the future, just for giggles.....think I may have to put a motor/folding prop in the nose though....
