@@duderguy1571 the wing doesn’t have any washout. All the wing ribs are identical so it still has a big wing cord at the tip. I haven’t noticed any tendency to drop a wing.
I love the design, music, location and vibe, John! I still cant figure out why forward-swept wings give the essence of cutting through the wind better!
It definitely flies differently to my Ocean Breeze, which is basically the same design but with a straight wing. It’s hard to say exactly how it feels different
Hi John: when will you be declared illustrious son of Perranporth? Could it be very interesting if you can make us a tour of this magnificent area, some day Greetings from Chile
John, you're surpassed yourself! Beatifull and smart, even the name! Dimensions , weight, wind speed at this flight? Any inclination to make this glider available in some sort of form (drawing, cnc set )?
This model is basically an Ocean Breeze with a forward swept wing. The plans for my Ocean Breeze are free to download off the Outerzone website. The wing sits one bay further back on the fuselage, and the front of the wingtips are in line with the front of the next bay forward, so the CG is in the same as the same place as the straight wing version. Hopefully that all makes sense.
@@SlopeRCGliders One more question. Did you build the wings with the roots 90° to the spar keeping the original wing width or did you angle them in line with the fuselage effectively making the wing slightly narrower?
It’s got exactly the same wing ribs, still in line with the fuselage, but all shuffled forward. (I also made the tail a slightly different shape but I think the original one is probably better)
They have a few benefits on supersonic aircraft but are hard to make stiff enough to withstand the flight loads. There are no real advantages on a glider like this. A few full-sized gliders have a modest forward sweep as it moves the main wing spar back, giving more room in the cockpit, but keeping the CG the same.
This was the second flight of my Cliffhanger design, this time from my usual slope.
Does the wing have any washout? She flies superb!

Hey JW, whoever does the filming has become really good at it...... Credit where credit is due.
All the best. WITW.
I love the design, music, location and vibe, John! I still cant figure out why forward-swept wings give the essence of cutting through the wind better!
Thank you!
Very attractive design and flies well. Looks like there is room for a GoPro in the cockpit. 😁👍
Very pretty John. Now build a wing swept back and attach it to the bottom for a unique biplane!
Again you found how to blend soaring music and backlight. the result is pure good taste
Diego Gardiman: You're absolutely right! Always a class act. :o)
Brilliant! Love the unusual wing and transparent covering. Flies beautifully!
That air is so smooth...Love the colour...🇬🇧
That was a very graceful and beautiful flight! I need to slope!
Clever design flying very well !Congrats Monsieur John!
This might be my new favorite! So nimble yet well behaved. It looks like it turns on a dime.
Yet another Woodfield Winner! Beautiful flyer.
Excellent as always! Loving the forward swept wings.
Great. Love the different greens, the design works well too. Man I wish I had a slope like that. Some of my most enjoyable flying has been on a slope.
You have amazing beautiful gliders and all of them fly superb.
It flies really well, love the colour too !
Magic...Clifffhanger😀👍🌠🌠🌠
amazing design... and a very nice video like always
the more swept forwart, it means it act like there is more dihedral angle. nice design.
This one flies really well.
Beautiful wind rider Thanks
Hey John great flyer. Thanks again for the video.
Thank you.
In that Green reminds me of a Dragon fly .
Beautiful
que modelo mas bonito. un vuelo espectacular con solo dos ejes.
Amazing flight
prawdziwa radość szybowania pięknym modelem :-D
That was nice to watch John. I still think it is a backwards flying canard. ;-) Thumbs up
Many full scale gliders have negative sweep - for reasons irrelevant for models.
Very nice.
Very nice!
Great innovation. (That's why we come here.)
Nice looking bird...flys rite Purdy she does...rite purdy
SAL in Slow Motion👍wieder toll geworden👏
Wow! Want to build this plane!!! :)
Mrs Harvey says she likes looking at the framework John, why don't I build more like it 🙂👍
I can’t answer that one!
Bonito vídeo👌
Wonderful! Could you make some detailed copy?
Fantastic design and flying as always.
Great music too who is the artist if you don't mind me asking
Great
It looks like it flies great! Can you notice any difference in flight characteristics with the forward-swept wing?
It definitely flies differently to my Ocean Breeze, which is basically the same design but with a straight wing. It’s hard to say exactly how it feels different
@@SlopeRCGliders Awesome! I've always thought forward-swept wings looked really cool. Thanks for the reply!
2:36 perfectly shows the forward swept why profile! Thanks John! Unique color! Green/blue? Or is that the sun playing tricks? Again, thank you!
Your very skilled
Thank you!
Great video
I really liked music.
Can you tell me title and artist?🤗
@@kmlvr89 it’s called Longer Distance by TrackTribe.
@@SlopeRCGliders Thanks a lot.🤗🤝

2:53 - It's not so much a launch as an assisted take off :-)
John, you're surpassed yourself!
Beatifull and smart, even the name!
Dimensions , weight, wind speed at this flight?
Any inclination to make this glider available in some sort of form (drawing, cnc set )?
with what material do you cover these wonderful flying machines? Tanks a lot
It’s an heat sensitive plastic film. The glue is already applied and sets when ironed on. The heat also shrinks it tight.
Can you build a glider for my draft project?
How deep is it from the launch site to the water?
I would be afraid that I would not get the model back
It’s 80 meters high
Ahh now John, I like this. Old meets new. Are there plans/kit available for this one?

@@SlopeRCGliders so not 90° to the spar, angled into the wind, so to speak
Every week a New glider, Dont you work? 😂😁😀
Nope, I’m retired with all the time I need!
