I have been putting off doing the maiden flight of my Heron for some time. I did not expect it to be on the slope, but I brought it along this time and the temptation to try it was too big. The Heron flew absolutely perfect - the launch was with hands off the sticks. I will do some fine tuning of CG and adjust flight phase mix compensations but that is about it.
Gear: Heron RR, Cockpit SX (1st gen) and RX-7 M-Link telemetry.
Site: Sandsjöbacka Bräcka, Kungsbacka, Sweden. ESE 9-11m/s
Camera: Turnigy 2k w SJCAM 4000 firmware
Music: By me, available if released at Soundcloud.com/Edgery

Wow! I’ve never seen a vertical landing before. Awesome!

Thanks guys! I wonder now why I waited so long to buy one. It’s even better than I expected and I had pretty high expectations. It will drop a wing when flown too slow or careless but that is all I found so far.

Hi Kristoffer, You'll find that most tapered wing gliders will drop a wing when flown too slow, they like speed. Nice video of a nice glider, it sure looks like the real thing in the air. And I like your helicopter-style landing, that's the way to do it in the rough for sure. If they had been in stock when I was looking around for another glider I would have gone for the Heron, but it wasn't so I went for a Phoenix Evolution. It can slope too (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zsIsI7gJxiA.html) and I could not be happier. That's not to say I won't pick up a Heron later...
