Found this while looking at Grabcad. The "Lady" part caught my attention. My first ever RC plane was the Gentle Lady in the late '90's. It was already an old design then (all Balsa frame with some plywood, standard tail). The Lady had many alterations after that and the only similarity to this one is the wing layout and no ailerons. Glad to see she still lives on. Wish I had a 3D printer then when I was building gliders, hehe. (actually, flying got me into 3DP). Nice job, thanks for the memories!
Your video was excellent, too ... maybe some links about how and why cliff soaring can build up these tremendous speeds ... I saw one a while back --- all very interesting. I am a graduate of the Lawrenceville School Class of 1965... I essentially introduced at that time model u-control airplanes, hand launched gliders and snow racers --- .020 and .049. There was latent interest and when I went out playing it started a land slide. A friend built me a single switch channel, radio control with a vacuum tube (HAHAH) with a rubber powered escapement in the plane --- rudder control only... It had to cycle through the right then left sequence. But the best fun was hand launched gliders. I was a good javelin thrower - still hold a school record for 10th grade ---3rd form --- so I could get some height. One Sunday I caught a Thermal and away the balsa glider went --- just 18" x 3"-inch wings, spruce body and plasticine balancing on the nose... About 2 minutes later and it was out of site and off the school's 600 acres of property... no return address... could not follow it. Earlier that year a friend took me to Lake Hurst NJ for the indoor nationals ... So interesting ... the gossamer planes with 60-minute flight times under 90-foot ceilings in the blimp hangars.... But I could only register 30 seconds --- and others for HL Gliders were getting 60 seconds --- reaching the 90 foot top... Something is really lost today when kids do not design, build and fly something --- there is lots of engineering to be learned from this experience -- now it is TikTok and seeing who does the stupidest things.
Another amazing creation! I am really enjoying all your latest videos that include flights. I was surprised that you opted for a removable dihedral, since you need to tape it up prior to every flight. I guess at some point you can simply decide to glue it. I love your mix of contemporary and modern building techniques. You are the #1 RC builder on RU-vid!! Congratulations on yet another stunning build! You Rock!
@@markoroolaidполная фиаско братан. Планер не так прост как кажется 1 размах должен быть больше 3-х метров. 2 специальная куртка крыла позволяет стоять в потоке. Я уже 4 года не делаю планера. В ангаре 2 карбоновых планера supra и xplorer3 Вот это авиамодели, а не игрушки.
@@markoroolaid no hay por que , soy aeromodelista de bajos recursos y no llego a esas maquinas , pero las veo volar y me quedo extasiado , pero asi mismo e llegadoa construir buenos motoveleros que me llevaron al tercer puesto del nacional de mi pais , te envio mis mas sinceras felicitaciones desde Argentina un hombre de 78 años aeromodelista desde los 6 años , abrazo.
Take care using superglue. I used it a lot and became allergic to it. If I use it now I get bad hay-fever like symptoms for several days. Use a desk fan to blow the fumes sideways.
Incredible. Not sure if you’d sell some of your builds. Anyone would be lucky to own one of your creations. Absolutely stunning build quality. Up there with the best of them and I’d say you’re number one. Sorry Ramy!
Marko I’m 65 years old turning 66 in a few days would you build one for me for my birthday. I don’t have laser cutter or a 3d printer or maybe you can just make the parts and I could assemble it. I started building RC planes in 1978 . Thank you. I had a house of balsa two-t that was destroyed by an inexperienced pilot. You do great work thank you for sharing
Bloody marvellous. Again! Where do you find the time? Nice use of the Bambu X1C. It did not quite change my life, but its as close as I have to a star trek replicator - excellent machine.
Really nice. Beautiful looking plane. Just out of curiosity, do you get any adverse roll with rudder input? The V-tails wants to roll the plane in the opposite direction of the turn but it is easily compensated for with ailerons but you don't have ailerons. The wings might be just so big they just resist the roll tendency?
Great job !!! Could you explain how the wing is attached to the fuselage? Do you use screws directly screwed into the pla fuselage without a threaded insert or nut? Thank you !!
Hi Marko, nice design, congratulations. I ask why you used the CF 18 x 8? Is it possible to modify it to a single standard size? In this part of the world those types of tubes are not found.
Is it possible that you can provide me with the editable file to redesign the thickness of the carbon tube of the fuselage? I have thought about putting a 10 or 12 mm tube
My bungee hi start system is already 20 years old. It was probably produced by the ROBBE company. But the rubber has a diameter of 5mm and a length of 30m and I use fishing line 0.6mm 140kg, length 120m
Hi I would like to have your opinion I would like to reinforce lwpla but without weighing it too much because the lwpla and really not solid what do you think of covering with Epoxy resin then sanding then painting? Thank you for your opinion ;)
Hello Marko! is it possible that you share some details about the print settings for the fuselage parts ? (vase mode for nose ? , and for the other parts, infill percentage, wall numbers etc ? ) Great thanks. have a good day, and congrats for your job !
The nose cone is made with Vase mode, the rest normally. Fuselage 2 layers and 3% infill. I'm going to try and experiment myself, many details straight into the trash :) But as usual, as strong as possible and as light as possible
Richard Jarel's v-tail is similar but a two piece. I've made mold's of his Impulse glider and made them when I needed them. Your's would be an up-grade to what I've done.
