Rumour has it, this old guy still reads and responds to all comments and usually checks out their channel to see what they do. Have you still got that BMW M4?
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan I don't habe the M4 anymore. However it was a brilliant car and 5 yrs on id even consider buying another. Well maybe the M2 comp as I think its a better performer.
That flew better with the nose weight that's for sure it was fun to watch and I bet it was fun to fly too I hope you like your transmitter it looks nice 👍🏻 was there a build video of this plane
The weight made a lot of difference...it's a good tough bird, with no doubt many more trips out to glide around. i like this one, does what it says on the tin :)
Perhaps needed a site with more updraft, the glider looks like it could have a fairly high wing loading / weight vs aerofoil lift ratio, you'll need to hike to that hill and join the other R/C slope soarers to get a good updraft.
For better penetration you will need to reduce drag as much as possible. Whenever you operate Rudder or Elevator, your plane nearly stops, due to the fact that the drag is to high. That plane is nowhere near a slope soarer, its aerodynamic properties are way closer to a brick than to a proper Glider. ;-) Another word about penetration-ability: If the plane balances properly / if you got the Center of Gravity at the right spot, that is where to add additional Weight for increasing penetration. Adding weight at the nose like you did will put you in the need to modify your Elevators Trim, causing even more drag, slowing your plane down even more. I hope my comment does make some sense to you, best Regards :-)
