Few gliders over 30 years ago. My Sig Riser was very strong in the center joint. So, I could walk back the high start until I could barely hold the plane. Then on launch I could hold just about max elevator with the Riser going just about STRAIGHT up until it would pivot out over the ground connection point. To detach, I would give a quick down elevator blip to achieve the release. Depending on wind the glider would be 500 + feet up.
Hey Zach, I just came across this channel recently from some Instagram videos I saw. I knew you sounded familiar. My father and I met you all the way back in 2016 at Flite Fest when I was only 13 years old. It’s really great to see that you are still doing fun shit with rc planes. These videos are really great, keep up the good work!
Thanks, Ben! Small world. My philosophy has and always will be that in order to stay young in this hobby, we’ve gotta enjoy the hobby for what it truly is…flying toy airplanes. 😁 -Zach
I'm a programmer and I want to program some planes to follow a master rc plane. Basically you fly one plane and have like 6 more automatically fly with you in formation. I only have 2 planes and don't have time or money to code it. Plus I don't have any rc friends where I live. Lol.
from my own experience 2 blade are much more efficent then 3 ore 5 blade the main reason you put more blades on your plane to have a smaller overall prop
Thanks! Full details are in our Timber Bush and 3D Flying video description, but ultimately, yes, the 2 blade is more efficient and gives the punch out and power to weight I want with better flight times. -Zach
@LAPEOS RC Vibration comes from stuff not being balanced, not the number of blades on the prop. Otherwise, it’s all personal preference. My experience flying the Timbers since the OG came out and in 2016 has led to using a more efficient prop with more diameter and less pitch. The result is taking more of a bite of the air for better performance and punch out with longer flight times. -Zach
@@TailHeavyProductions can't find it anymore LOL looks amazing tho! Ive been a P-40 fan since I was a kid and my first glow warbird was a Black Horse 1,66m P-40 Tomahawk
Was the bike tow just full throttle on the bike or did you try to keep it under a set speed? Been wanting to try it for awhile now I finally got someone to tow me up but scared if I tell them to just punch it it’ll overspeed the glider
Glide Outside the Box! 😁 We wanted to make some phases of flying gliders (the launches and landings primarily) more entertaining as bread for the sandwich whose meat is casual lower paced thermal circle flying. The relaxing flying is great sometimes too, but if we can supplement it with unique fun stuff around it, it makes it that much better. 💯 -Zach
I have old man physical problems keeping me grounded. So I rewatch. You all can even make Bruce smile. Never stop. I'll be back. Ty
Amazing save when you lost that prop!
Looked like a fun day of laughs with good pals! What it's all about. Thank you...enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the humor!

Supa Tim is every where coast to coast. Keep having fun!
Indeed, but this was filmed at his and our original home base: Seattle 😁
Loved the video. A bunch of guys having fun and a bit of mucking around!

Would love to see this doesn’t sound to complex either.
You have got to try red bull air race i have always wanted to see an rc version.

That’s was awesome. Love your videos!!
Love the Vlogs, you could try some FPV, and I would love to see some more Flite Test planes around!!! Loved the vid am eagerly awaiting the next!!!
such awesome episodes!! really like this content!!!
Perfect......
I like your videos keep up the good work
danger is always = to fun
Wait you guys met Supa Tim that's awesome
I've known Supa Tim since I was a kid, he's been an awesome influence throughout my time learning in the hobby! -Zach
Amazing video but might I ask why you make your turbo timber a 2 blade instead of the 3 asking because I have recently put a 5 blade on mine
from my own experience 2 blade are much more efficent then 3 ore 5 blade the main reason you put more blades on your plane to have a smaller overall prop

@@TailHeavyProductions Yet I always prefer the three bladed prop on the TT Evo over the two bladed on the Timber X planes. Less noise and vibration.

@UCFSGJB6MnGn2NHOXApZsSQQ I have yet to encounter an unbalanced three bladed prop but two bladed often can get noisy over time.
and i love your content
lmao not the bendy wing ka-8 from way back when
what about a flatspin tutorial?
Hey guys, where is that Park where you tow the glider with the bike? before going back to Marymoor??
Thank you
MORE VLOGS!
NIIIIIIIIIIIICE!
what brand is the glider from the dirt bike tow?
Parkzone KA-8
is that the BlitzRCWorks P-40 from Banana Hobbies? can't find this color scheme on the website
It’s actually the OG FMS P-40
@@TailHeavyProductions can't find it anymore LOL looks amazing tho! Ive been a P-40 fan since I was a kid and my first glow warbird was a Black Horse 1,66m P-40 Tomahawk
7:03 run he’s a Fed! I mean real talk government isn’t all bad but still funny to say snitches get stitches
What brand makes that Ki-61?

nashua like, nashua nh?
Ohhh noo
Here’s a challenge, hover a 3D plane *nose in*
I’ve never tried any of the F3P “4D” stuff but could be fun! Seen some guys do it even with standard balsa before too. Crazy stuff! 😁 -Zach
im a 11y old and i want to get into the hobby but im in no position to bye an rc plane
Нормально угараете😂🤙
But gliders are never boring, I always like them just to chill and fly
true just chill and fly

i wish i had a club that would offer me free planes :(

This content is incredible.
