Steve Houghton 1 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi guys There is to be a model glider event taking place over the weekend of the 10th/11th June at the Bwlch, (nr Treorchi), in South Wales for Bwlchfest 2017. Bring along any glider you have, be it foamie, crunchie, mouldie, sport, scale or PSS. This looks like being a truly international event with flyers from Germany & Slovenia already making plans to attend, and this could be the largest model glider event in the UK in 2017. So please make a note of this in your calendars and visit my blog regularly for further updates at A470soaring.blogspot.co.uk Edited By Steve Houghton 1 on 04/01/2017 09:56:15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedster Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 How to find the thermals Showing my thermal flying technique. Flying my Arthobby Silent 3,4m in low and weak but flyable thermals on a calm summer day, late in the afternoon. Boring to watch, but pretty challenging to keep the glider in the air. I use Spektrum DX9, Ar8000 rx and Tm1000 telemetri + vario gauge on this glider..... or you can just use the Lemon LM0052 U as the Rx together with Spektrum G2 transmitters Soren Edited By Speedster on 03/06/2018 08:15:51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Good video for a novice like me, I'll have to watch your control setup video again as I've forgot what the thermal mode is Should I be be able to do this with HK P2000 or is it heavier than your Arthobby ?

HI A P2000 is not the best thermal glider, but on a good day it will thermal. The thermal record for the P2000 in my club is 35 min. 40 sec. so give it a go Just keep the speed down to just over the stall speed, Good luck Soren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedster Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Last winter Peter from my RC club found this untouched Vintage Multiplex Cortina kit in Norway, and I had the maiden maiden flight with it yesterday, No problem with the flying, but it was a shitty landing Cheers Soren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
