Gliding video thread


Recommended Posts

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

Take a ride in my 6 meter DG800s RC glider, with spin test and lowpass. 6 meter span, 13,5 kg. Towed by a 3 meter Piper Pawnee with 120 cc 2cyl gas engine. Garmin Virbelite as tail cam, Gopro at the wing and Iphone SE on the ground Recorded on the first real spring day in 2017.

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

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 blush 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
