After the hand launch we want to see the plane. it was 40 seconds when it left your fingers to when we see it again. You're a good looking guy but I'm here for the plane and the zoom launch :)
saw this plane flying live today in a contest... I was very impressed... seems to be a very good one...
I love mine
Just ordered one, can’t wait to fly this sexy glider.
what an interesting layout the wing
Loved watching you guys fly that sweet glider.
Your terrible throwing looks pretty good :o)
I appreciated the aerobics.
Nice tag-team flying. Looks like lots of fun!
Have had my FX for about 9 months, the build was done by Flightcomp. Great flying glider, setup was not challenging. great thermaling glider with good penetration, have not added ballast yet.... A Blast to fly
I've put ballast in a few times and it was really nice in wind.
Try elevator to flaperon mixing. Just a smidge of camber on up elevator. Might help with your nose angle on turns.
I'm a relative super noob, but I've been playing a lot with setups and that (along with a tiny bit of inverted/neutral diff) helped a lot on my model.
Awesomeness.
This simple stuff takes Us away.
Beauty fc.
Couldn't agree more!
Good to see you two guy are back at it.
What the hell are you watching him for is he going to do a trick put the camera on the glider
hahaha
I love my FX! (but I like your pink color scheme better :) )
Very nice it fly great man keep up your great ideas it working
Oooooooooo yeeeeeeeee 🤘 nice job,nice maiden ❤️😎🤘
Flies nice!
Ah, the mosquitos are back...lol, soon I will miss them. Please do such a flying video with the Infinity Evo, that would be great. :)
That looks pretty good. I see from your site that Kristof V helped w/ the design and his Revolution is one of my favorite planes (and I think the tails were actually made by GCM). Do you expect to get some more in stock this year?
For sure, I getting some every 2 months or so. Should have more in 1-2 weeks.
The essence of flying. Looks more like an olympic sport.
Could you maybe also please mount a little camera on the nose facing the tail to see what to do with the ailerons/flaps, elevator and rudder during gliding? Not asking for a 360 camera...
Beautiful Glider.
A) what size battery used for servos, weight of just battery.
B) what is total weight of entire plane, servos & battery all in?
C) how is the wing attached to fuselage. Is there a center section thats has many screws then left & right wing sections conmect.
Thanks
1s 500mah lipp, 12 grams. The wings are joined with a carbon joiner. 2 screws on each wing half connect to fuse. I have a build video that explains everything.
Nice airplane. Still looks to me that it falls out of the turns too much. Was that what you were talking about?
Yes. I have done some more tuning and it is flying very well!
Love how nearly every sailplane is sold out online lol
Hi Ali, unfortunately the settings are not in the video description. The aileron settings and CG would be nice to know. Greetings Stephan
Give me 10 minutes still measuring.
