The riser 100 is a really nice RC glider kit, building this balsa wood glider took me to my early times in aeromodelling, this is a totally classic glider, no propulsion system, just pure glider.
Channels: 3, elevator, rudder and spoilers.
Wingspan: 100" or 2.5m
Weight: about 1.5Kg
Build time: About 20 days
Covering: Transparent red Solarfilm, solid white Monokote.
After the build was completed I tested the glider in a huge flat area and threw it by hand to get a feel of its glide pattern, then a couple of days later I went to Bray head, and flew at the edge of the slopes, the wind was not that good but it was a respectable flight for few hours, doing slope soaring.

I used to build these kind of airplanes when I was teenager (45 years ago). Saved and spent all my allowance and summer job money to enjoy this hobby. Brought back lots of fond memories. I have a kit for a 2M sailplane that I've been putting off for a while. Hope my radio still works. You've inspired me to get back to it.

How is it going?

@davidduffy9806 Год назад

I’m 62, I completely understand your recollections

@anthonywatkins2783 Год назад

Yep I was the same, all my models were scratch built from plans and the purchase of, balsa wood, plywood etc, enjoyed the building as much as the flying. 👍

@hondaxl250k0 8 месяцев назад

Hey I have tons of plans from kits 1940s - 1990s. Like boxes full. If you remember what you had . And I have the plans .. we can work out a copy.

@PassifloraCerulea 9 месяцев назад

I miss RC sailplane building and flying so much. I was pretty active over 10 years ago but then a series of things got in the way and I haven't gotten back to it. Maybe some day... I've still got foam cores for a Dodgson Lovesong and Camano collecting dust.

@g2rc 3 года назад

Came to the comments section to see if anyone agrees this is one of the best r/c model build videos on RU-vid. Well done sir! Thank you.

@mgman6000 9 месяцев назад

I used to build model sailplanes 40 years ago it's a shame that the great little hobby shops are gone we used to meet at our local shop and then go to our favorite slope Your video brings back so many great memories thank you

@bradwanvig6675 4 месяца назад

Oh yes my first ever glider when I started in 2010. Still have it and love it. I think I'll go fly it this weekend. p.s I'm 59, so started out a bit late but this is my favorite of the other 10 in the shed!

@wildgoobsid5 3 года назад

Nice to see someone doing this old school. You gain so much understanding and skill that make so many other thins in RC easier. I’ve done this maybe 50 times in 40 years.

@paulbrouyere1735 3 года назад

Great build, nice flight. You made me want to restart my hobby from the ‘80 s. I was member of a RC aviation flight team at the time. Still have my models. Great hobby! I love balsa

@RedstonePyroMan 3 года назад

absolutely stunning build! i love my 100" riser. It has the old school KRAFT Systems servos in it too! It may be the best looking balsa glider of all time

@arturoespinosa8985 Год назад

Beautiful, very well built…

@scottyreeves9456 3 года назад

Awesome build ! Beautiful covering and flying ! I have built 2 - Greatplanes Spirit 100's...and it such an amazing feeling when you build out of a box, and do the Maiden... And what I use for the CA kicker, is sprinkling a bit of baking soda on the CA...works as good, and saves a few bucks. Happy flying !!

@RCSoaringDiaries 3 года назад

I've built lots of models and still watched your video all the way through. I'm a big fan of old school gliders (and don't mind imperial measurements 😂). I must say you did a great job encouraging others to have a go at building a model, and totally agree with your sentiment at the end - you can't beat that feeling of flying something you built yourself 👍

@Joyplanes 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing your opinion. Everyone should experience at least something similar at school at a young age.

@adriankelly1744 3 года назад

Hi from Australia.... just would like to thank you for the great video and the incentive ....at 68 years I am off to build my first aircraft and the course sounds great ...............thanks again

@72hourbob61 2 года назад

This plane and a Bird of time were my last two builds way back in the day. I did add a carbon fiber strip to the bottom spar of the Riser and boxed in the spoiler bays so grass seeds would not get into the wing on landing. Your build looks nice. Good luck with it. Mine flew very well.

@oba1956 2 года назад

Great build I'm happy to see that rc modelers haven't abandone our skills to build using balsa and thin plywood. Its hard to find kits like that now, since every thing has moved towards form and derivative composites. The composites add strength just wish more the older kits were still available. I personally encourage you to go forward on your quest to create more video mini courses of this sort.

@philippesandmeier3736 3 года назад

This was an excellent video. Makes me want to build a glider again myself, 45 years later.....

@davidwilcox5916 3 года назад

Nice build! And a very watchable video! The cheap HF belt sander really helps with the nose and wing tips. One change I made from the plans was the hatch attachment. I shaped the hatch so the leading edge of the wing fit tighter. Then glued the hatch to the fuselage at each end of it. About a half inch on on the front and an inch on the back edge. Then I cut the hatch at a slight angle so it formed a wedge. The Monokote fills the gap made by the saw so it fits. Just add more if it is too loose. Remember to make the saw cut negative in two directions so the hatch wedges in from one side and can't slide up. It is simple and clean. I've done it on most of my gliders and never lost a hatch in 35 years in flight. I have lost plenty in the car on the way to the hill, but they were always the rubber band held ones, or the lever!

@georget.8982 2 года назад

Thanks for a great video. I just received an Aquila 101 kit and plans. I never built a balsa plane but after watching your video I am ready to get started. Looking forward to seeing more of your instruction videos.

@neilpeel59 3 года назад

Beautifully filmed and narrated. Thank you.

@TCMath128 3 года назад

I'm from SE Iowa near the town of Montezuma where SIG is. I once flew in a contest with the guy who designed the 2M Riser. He told me that designing the plane was the easy part; figuring out how to get the parts cut out of the least number of available balsa sheets and getting them all to fit in the smallest possible box was the hard part.

@apogaeum4313 3 года назад

Built this model 30 years ago. Very stable platform for electrical conversion. Good thermal glider.

@lancevanvelzen4832 3 года назад

This is great. You did an amazing job. I have been wanting to build a balsa plane for a few months. I think this is the push I needed

@PacificAirwave144 3 года назад

Oh what a classic! I never built one but flew with them and they're wonderful flying gliders. Very cool to see they've kept the glider going with a laser-cut upgrade. Stick-built--your medicine for a stay-at-home Fall/Winter! :-)

@BillyG869 2 года назад

As a modeler since very young, you are on your way to a great life of modeling.I’m 75, just ordered a riser 100 kit from internet $119 plus shipping…

@hankturner2790 3 года назад

I order a Sig Riser from Ebay and it is due to arrive today. Your video was very helpful in knowing what to expect. Reminds me of a Dynaflite Butterfly I built about 30 yrs ago.

@simonhewitt9805 3 года назад

This is quite possibly the best short build diary that I have seen on RU-vid. Excellent stuff😀👍

@ranashome24 3 года назад

Greetings and congratulations from Calcutta India. You remind me of my Olympic 100” Scratch built from plans I fully agree that building gives great pride and satisfaction.

@MrJMaq Месяц назад

You are absolutely correct about imperial units, and I live in the US!

@seamuscashin2606 3 года назад

well done on build and camera work i am from tipp and could not believe my eyes when you flew on bray head we need more guys like you in ireland

@utubeaccess7 3 года назад

Nice to see this build. I personally have many fond memories of building balsa RC planes. I also have a brand new, unopened Sig Seniorita kit that I will build for electric some rainy day.

@kk-zt9ri 2 года назад

So nice to see such an great airplane. And it fly so well. Thanks of you Mister.

@ayushkaiwart2451 3 года назад

I appreciate for hard work in the build process.

@imbok Год назад

Very nice work. The Riser 100 is a super solid glider with nice characteristics. The final in-flight shots were magic!

@SchuylerB Год назад

Great video really enjoyed it, have just brought a glider kit, the Krick Habicht. Have been flying a while on and off but it will be my first build, a little nervous but equally exited and this video really has me inspired, thank you for taking the time to film and share!

This is beautiful reminds me of my Olympic 650 I had to build from scratch as a kid

@grahamhammond6155 Год назад

Brilliant video, watched many times and used for reference point whilst building my 100 bought last Xmas (2021) can't find any for sale now so poss last one in UK, finally got the 100 covered this week, don't think I'm gonna get time to fly her this yr now, will have to wait till spring, keep up the good work and videos helped a lot Graham

Nice build and beautiful soaring site.

@larryblanks6306 3 года назад

I'd really like notice of all upcoming build videos, ( good for refreshing my old talents) Haven't built for some years but loved it. Great video thanks.

@AlwaysStaringSkyward 2 года назад

Great video and great build! One thing you might find useful in the future is to consider putting super lightweight fibreglass cloth over the nose and wingtips before you cover. Those are the places that tend to get damaged over time and it adds a lot of strength and puncture resistance for very little weight penalty.

@dcsmith5839 3 года назад

@123cp8 2 года назад

I love building with balsa. It’s really sad that there are longer any kits available: it makes the barrier too high for newbies wanting to give it a go.

@thermalascension 3 года назад

The riser 100 , is a very good sailplane. I've built many,. Good job

@doraexplora9046 2 года назад

When I was a teenager every school holidays my mum would let me buy a balsa kit to build. It would take me two weeks to build it and two weeks to fly it before it hit the ground hard enough to break it....then it was onto next school holidays. I must build at least a dozen planes during that time. Best fun and most productive time ever.

@mauricioriquelme3023 3 года назад

Congratulations for your video. SIG RISER 100 is a classic glider of the old school. I am according that there are many sailplane kit better that RISER, in germany and USA, but the price, and construction material, without Carbon Fiber and fiberglass reinforcement its better for old techniques. This is a relaxing bird for sunday flyer. For contest you must search vladimir models, or other czech models but you must be a biggest budget also. Congratulations again Joy.

@williamreape4326 3 года назад

I am going to try and find a kit. Love your video, I built two similar planes when I was 16 and 17 years old, many years ago. I remember it is exciting to fly your own build. Thanks for sharing

@Joyplanes 3 года назад

Very cool! It's actually a great experience!

@MalcolmCrabbe 3 года назад

This used to be the norm for any model kit you got, although some models came with the "new" veneered foam wings, but you still had to build the rest. For me the building was just as much fun as trying to fly the models :) - Enjoyed the video, took me back to my childhood days :)

@jadedsoul1 2 года назад

nice work i spent my youth learning to build. last one i build was a wire to handle ver. thing is i never got to learn to fly i spend weeks building spending sometime 100 of pounds for everything only to smash it to bits as it came down... i should of had lessons first. still i love building or i did when i was a kid. im 50 now but still pulls on my heart strings to see a glider fly. it always did ill i had was books to learn from. haha. i used to use wax on my plans so i could see nice n clear. hot wax and an iron melt it all over the plans. parafin wax works to. in liquid form. thanks for your vid.

@maddinlawrenz8879 9 месяцев назад

I agree, to build a balsa plane is a really nice thing. Even more if you do it from the scratch, many plans are available as pdf files in the Internet.

@utubeaccess7 3 года назад

I like that you use traditional wood glues and modern cyanoacrylates as well. Both have their places, plus Epoxies to make a strong and light airframe. Don't worry too much about building a glider like this very very light. It will still fly wonderfully if it is a few ounces heavy.

@Joyplanes 3 года назад

True, In a windy slope I had to put a lot of weight to keep it flying straight.

I've been working with Imperial Units for 756 months now. Can't say I share your enthusiasm for Metric. Thanks for making this video, though. This (vs foam) is the way planes should be made.

Glad you enjoy it!
