FMS ASW-17 2500MM Glider Flight Demo By: RCINFORMER 

One thing that they don't tell you is that you can fly a glider almost anywhere, even the beach. That's because everyone loves the look of a glider, and they'll come and tell you so. Just don't fly it like a stunt plane, you need to learn elegant, beautiful, smooth changes of direction and forget the bank-and-yank approach. Oh, and don't forget to take a chair, you'll get a minimum of 30 minutes per flight, probably a lot more.

Bonjour Philippe. Je serais intéressé de connaître tes settings D/R et la valeur des Expos que tu appliques sur les 3 axes. Merci par avance. JPhilippe Rennes.

I like to come up with innovative ideas.. putting a e d f.. on top of a glider would be just trick.. have it where you get to your altitude you can retract the EDF back into the fuselage... It will look more realistic than having a prop on the front... And the possibilities are just unlimited... You can go with bigger edf's more power and just imagine the flight time would just be impeccable.. I guess inventions is a mother of necessity.. thank you all out there I love to get creative album flying jets planes and gliders the hobby is just awesome..!!

Sorry, I'm way behind in that:) gotta do that. I may put it live show thus weekend.

Hey Rich, unfortunately I missed your live broadcast... where can I find that tutorial...?

Hey Rich, what did you decide was optimal CG for ASW - 17...?

Sorry for the late reply. I have a high, medium & low rate. 125%, 100% & 70% ... No Expo.

Its pretty sweet and will glide for a while! I had to bring it down lower because it was clear that It can stay up in the air for a loooooooong time and it was killing Steve's neck..lol:) Please consider clicking on our links to purchase as it does support our channel at no extra cost to you! Thanks for the support!

ok, can do! may be good in a live show, but i can make a video!

@@RCINFORMER Thank you very much! We, the ASW-17 owners will all appreciate that! Thanks again! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Can't wait to see that! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Have a great rest of your night! Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🌵🦠😷🇵🇷 You'll be the only one in RU-vid showing how to do it... Your video is going to go viral!...🤞🏾

Sticker trim sheets from the local hobby shop.

@@RCINFORMER Thanks Rich!

Thanks for using my links! You don't need either AS3X or SAFE with this model... it flys so well!

It should be great for it. It's a super stable platform. However, I have not done a lot of FPV, so I'm probably not the best person to ask.

Yep, no one's perfect.

Hey man, anythings possible🙂

Sure, anytime

Email me at rcinformer.rich@gmail.com

Good idea!

@@rmsdvm Hobbyking! I'm not sure if they still make them, but check over there.

@@RCINFORMER Darn, out of stock right now with "No ETA At This Time".

i was gonna say,,,why everyone wants to zoom in so close..so much shaking as a result..i'm satisfied with a regular no zoom footage...Totally agree Bennish...

I can't comment on the asw28 because I have not had one. The FMS ASW-17 is outstanding. Mostly, I like the full-length leading edge sheathing that protects the leading edge on the ASW-17.... Most models do not have that & it is a very high-end feature that will make the model last longer.

Ok thanks . Have a great day !!

Any way you like, paint or tape. I simply used the sticker trim tape found at most hobby shops:)

It's sticker trim, not paint:)

It was in one of my live shows

@@RCINFORMER it was a very good presentation. but did you ever make a video on how you made the box so the glider will fit in?

Sticker trim from the hobby shop! You can use any color you want.

Excellent! Glad that helped. Thats an old school way to make it more visible. The plane is SOOOOO white, its easy to loose sight of it:)

Send FMS an email at Support@fmsmodel.com and ask them if they can ask the engineers exactly what aerofoil they used (that’s pretty much what I would do asking for you🙂)

Hi, I have sent them an email, they informed me that information is classified lol. Thank you for your response.

Because they’re upside down on the bottom of the planet? :)

Spektrum DX7, DX9, NX6 & NX10

@@RCINFORMER thanks

I have no flown the Fox 2320, but I would imagine the ASW-17 is way better than the Fox.

@@RCINFORMER Thank you, I bought it! I will now attempt to decipher how to transform the styrofoam box into a carrying case for the glider based on the few frames from this video. Great idea and suggestion BTW.

@@leomiliades7341 I'm going to plan a live show this weekend & show how to cut the box:) probably Sunday!

Please record it - I got the glider today and I have been thinking how to cut the box. Many thanks!

The Fox is a great sport aerobatic glider but it is more of a hybrid Glider/airplane. The Fox is a great model but it is not the pure glider that the ASW-17 is. The ASW-17 has a far superior Glide ratio and is overall a better glider than the Fox. You can stay up there gliding all day with the ASW-17!

Yes! It's like a smaller version of the ASW-17 :)

Please consider using my link purchase it supports my channel and I really appreciate it!

They will be in stock very soon & often most of the container is already is spoken for with pre-orders... If you want one soon it is a good idea to order it before all the pre-orders for the incoming container are all sold:)

I followed the link and it doesnt say pre-order it says BACKORDER...I guess the whole container is spoken for. I'll try again sometime

@@radioflitercairplanes1715 it says that because the first pre-order has sold... the planes are due in at the end of September

@@RCINFORMER Thanks Rich.

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this for a complete beginner Straight off a simulator just because of its size and the fact there are a number of smaller more suitable ones on the market aimed specifically at beginners :)

Nope! It's sweet!

I used a Hobbyking 7ch Orange V3
