    Greetings John,
    Another spectacular video!
    I really like the design. A primary glider fitted with a high performance wing. It appears to store very little energy. The loop was almost comical, give me a grin anyways.
    This flying site has it's own unique beauty. The stone wall is great feature, I wonder how old that wall is.
    Between you building and piloting skills, and your lady's consistently brilliant camera work, it seems that you're incapable of posting a video of poor quality. Which one of you does the superb editing? The matching of the onscreen action to the music couldn't be better.
    As always, watching your video was a joyous, almost spiritual experience. A veritable work of art in every sense of the meaning.
    Cheers

    I’ve been flying RC gliders for 40 years but never flown any with no fuselage. Curious, how are the flight characteristics different in such a scenario? I have a 3D printer, so this fuselage design looks super easy to replicate and should provide better weight savings. Thanks! Great sound track and video as usual!

    • @SlopeRCGliders
      @SlopeRCGliders  Před 3 lety +2

      I used spruce for the main fuselage spars, so although it looks light it’s actually heavier than some of my equivalent sized builds. And then I added wire bracing to stiffen up the fuselage, which all adds to the drag of the fuselage.
      But it definitely looks different and was nice and simple to build. It would lend itself well to 3D printing.

      Now there is a good idea. I was originally going to sit Action Man under the wing, so I could test fly it without him there and save some weight without effecting the CG.
      I decided to move him forward so could easily sit another one under the wing.
