  • The Works £3 Foam Glider #06 catapult launch attempt @ Eastville Park. Not very effective, I got better height just throwing it. This session went on longer than intended as I had a camera issue. I could have edited it out but I left it in for reference.

    Parts list
    Foam Glider from The Works cost me £3
    Unlikely to still be available from there - similar available from other locations
    WLTOYS V911 2.4GHz RC Receiver
    - no longer available - most people seem to use the F949 instead
    FlySky FS-T6 Transmitter - still available but most people would probably buy the FS-i6 now

    Still impressed with this little thing, can't wait to see you put a motor on it somewhere. 😁👍🏼

      I really don't want to put a motor on it but I included a couple of good looking powered RC conversion videos in the associated playlist. They are not mine but they look good and fly well.

      ...Yeah but the first time you manage to do a 'circuit' then gain/lose altitude at will and then land it at your feet you'll be glad you'd did!

    As a kid in the 80s all the kids in the neighborhood had a red hard plastic glider with white foam wings wich was catapulted by a very long elastic band wich we all tied together and held competitions for the longest flighttimes, it was all down to trimming. I guess i am lucky to have Herman Junckers as one of my ancestors. :)) I won a lot.

    do you think a bungee will pull the hook off the plane?

      That just depends how you fix it. The one I fitted (next video in the series) seemed to work fine.

    Thats a hard thing to do "G". You would need someone else to catapult launch it and that would give you time to control it. As you said though, a bungee launch will be far better. Looking forward to seeing it on a bungee launch.
