big flying wing glider 

Thank you Kent! I'm very pleased with it so far....5 metres next maybe?

Thank you! It's one of those times when everything came together with absolutely no pre-planning!

Thank you George, I'm really enjoying flying her....the long build was worth it!

Thank you!

Oh course...you are fluent in his regional dialect! In my mind's eye I see you stealthily watching this with head-phones on and one eye over your shoulder in corporate open-plan office hell ;-)

Thank you Stephen. I really enjoy flying her though she's yet to have an outing this year.

@@miniphase Wind direction or flying other models ? . I have not manage to get some of my models maiden or fly much due to work or wind direction. :-(

Thank you Sir.... summer is upon us so hopefully it'll be getting more air time in the coming months.

Thank you Eric, still love flying it, though it hasn't had an outing this year.

Thank you John! Even with a hill nearby, the last year has been pretty tough with the lockdwon restrictions... hoping to get out in the coming weeks though!

Thank you Sir! Maybe a 6 metre one next time....

Thanks for commenting, glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately he didn't have his reading glasses with him..... he did a good job despite. I try and encourage people to just hold the camera like a pistol and follow the glider by sighting along the top of it, but that technique seems to take a leap of confidence that most people aren't happy to do. Happy landings!

Yes we are on the same page regarding the sport view finder. I've made a camera mount on top of cardboard tube. While filming, you simply sight through the tube for aiming. It is held at arms length like a gun. It works quite well.

Thank you Alistair!

Thank you Dimitris! The covering is Sig Coveral- it's a polyester fabric. We are lucky to have such a great site, the lading area is superb even if the slope isn't that impressive.

Thank you federico, yes it is my design and build. Full details in this thread starting with the smaller version... www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2128666-2-metre-no-make-that-a-4-metre-motor-glider%21%21

Indeed it was Tilman! Hope you are keeping well. I was hoping for a German voice-over for this one, but my native speaker was otherwise engaged!

Hi Juan EH2/12

or a coat-hanger perhaps?

Root and tip are 350mm, but the tip has its leading edge rounded off bringing it down to 280mm, this forms a taper over the last 470mm of the wing.

thankyou sharing! happy launch and land ing

CGI maybe?

Thank you Sir!
