The J&H Micro Bird of Time flown from the slope, although it was too windy for this model. There will be future videos from the slope featuring this model as we move into the summer months. jhaerospace.co...
Awesome, great flying . That would to much wind for me, you piloted her good. Order mine a week ago can’t wait to build and fly her, it be a high start. Texas is just flat were I live. Happy flying. 👍
I was relieved when you landed, only to be dismayed when you relaunched it. I'm gonna have to build one of these if only to model it after my 3-meter version. Well done getting her back in one piece!
Nice flying sir and just reinforces my decision to have purchased this great little sloper. Many thanks for sharing and best wishes from Alan in South Yorkshire 🤗🤗👍👍👍
Some days are like that but if you do not venture up the hill you will never know. I have on occasion walked half way down the hill to fly my models although you do lose your landing spot. But will fly in less wind down there. 👍
It seems you and the little bird did remarkably well under the blustery conditions! I don't believe you have been out in near to optimum conditions for the model....yet. I bet it will be great fun in calmer and more consistent conditions, whether on the slope or off the high start. Happy flying!
... I have some of these approx. 1.5m gliders from the 70s and 80s and I think I will "reactivate" them and try the control via pivoting wings, they are also only two servos, but with significantly better maneuverability, rudder and elevator control was never mine thing, too sluggish and usually without much effect when you need it, ... have you ever thought of such a type of control?
You’re talking about pitcheron models, where both wings work as ailerons. I have a part built model utilising this method of control. Unfortunately due to home circumstances the build came to an abrupt halt, but I need to get it finished soon.
@@A470RCSoaring Steve, with my little foamies I've taped thin lead "sheet" ballast bits as near the wing centre-section as possible -- to good effect! Fun stuff. love your videos, always.
