    I love to see kids getting into the hobby, rather than sitting in a house playing video games. Compliments to dad.

    Fun as all get out isnt it? That is called convective soaring, nothing to do with the mild slope of the beach but where the cooler water meets with the warm sand and causes an upward bubble of air. Also a good prevailing wind helps true airspeed and allows for almost near zero ground speed flight. Watch Pelicans and Seagulls fly effortlessly along sandy shorelines on warm days, they are the best flight instructors on the planet. I love flying my sailplanes on the beach. Everyone gets such a kick out of it. But only if the wind is blowing onshore. From the other way its nothing but turbulence from the high rise condo eyesores. You've just discovered heaven on earth kid, congrats and great flying.

      The fastest rc planes use true slope soaring techniques to achieve transonic speeds, it's funny how gliders are faster than jet turbines in the rc world

      @Potato Jake you must be referring to dynamic soaring. I believe the record is almost 400 miles per hr. I'd like to witness that first hand. Bet the "sound" was awesome. And those sailplanes are nothing you'll find via Tower or Horizon Hobbies. 😅

      @@cardinaldriver I believe the record is somewhere upwards of 530mph. Ixm sure the sound of the planes ripping through the air is incredible. I've been up close to wind turbine generators and they make a nive wooosh

      @@potatojake197 that’s called dynamic soaring and they do it on the Lee side by using extreme wind to push the glider down wind then pull down into the protected area below the ridge of stagnant air to travel back upwind without a headwind then pull back up into the strong wind and slingshot themselves downwind again and again, the record is somewhere around 548 mph unless it’s been broken again.

    Eu moro numa praia quase igual a essa aí do vídeo, já tentei voar com vários planadores sem motor, mas com veto linear reto é quase impossível, é incrível ver esse Rapaz voar com esse DLG com esse tipo de vento, parabéns meu amigo, você mostrou o que é ser um aeromodelista de grande importância para todos nós, parabéns. 😊😊😊😊

    If there was no slope, the water would just take it over.
    These dlg gliders are so light and efficient that they can use a very small angle drift up to keep soaring like that, like we see in the video.
    The air goes so fast over the sand that there is no way it would immediately get warm and climb like a thermal bubble.

    You wouldn't think you'd get any lift of that little slope but it certainly is working!

    • @KainniaK
      @KainniaK ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Because the drag the air has over water is quite different from the drag over land so at soon as the wind hits land it's always gonna start having some upwards flow just because of the extra turbulence created right at the point where the water changes in to sand. The other reason is that the wind also starts hitting the waves that are only right at the shore.

    Long ago in Manhattan Beach I had a Hobie Hawk. There’s a walkway we call the Strand that parallels the beach. The Beach varies from a couple hundred feet to about 3/4 mile from the Strand. The winds prevail off the beach fairly consistent. So I could walk the Strand and fly my glider along the way until I found a good steady spot. The Hobie Hawk is a very high performance wing in that location. Hard to reproduce that wing but very well worth the expense. This Kid is great, going to get greater as time goes on, he’s a Modeler….

    Fascinating Design Challenge: No need for the strength of DLG, just a hand-nudge into the lift.
    Its seems to need Penetration so a thin, yet high lift foil.
    I'd try a build for extreme lightweight and thin wings...almost flimsy.... just for those conditions.
    Fun Flight !
