That looks like a very nice glider. Not really a glider man myself but if I were to get one then this fits in with my scale interests. Seems all my models these days have to be a scale representation of a full size. Looks like it flies very nicely. And what a beautiful flying location 👍
nice video. Which was the take off weight for the model ? What about the winglets after several fligths ? winglets seem to be quite easy to be damaged. Thanks
If it weighs over 250g you need to be registered with the CAA and have the provided Operator ID marked on your RC aeroplane. I always recommend joining a model flying club and getting BMFA membership which includes 3rd party insurance.
@@EssentialRC Thank,, poor insanity UK government banes every thing but I can buy a full sized glider and fly it WITH NO LICANSE Do you need a pilot license to fly a glider? According to the British Gliding Association, who are in charge of regulating everything gliding in the UK, there is currently no requirement to hold a glider pilot license if you're flying in the UK. as I said bloody insanity
@@ashwayn I'm not familiar with full size glider requirements...but having just googled it I'm equally surprised that is correct. I suspect nobody in their right mind would fly a glider solo without significant training.
They are very different gliders! The Kavan is great for thermalling and pure gliding. The FMS is more for aerobatics. Choose your weapon according to what you like doing 😉
@@EssentialRC Thks a lot for your answer. Currently, I glide with a MPX EasyGlider4 and a FMS ASW-17. Both are different ; but they are also complementary
About the same as other 3 metre gliders but a little higher as its latest design and just come out. Can only hope price decreases after its initial launch period.
Hi Dom. Hope you are doing well. I know that you have flight both on ASW-17 FMS and this Kavan Twin Shark. What would be your preference❤? Thks. To read you. JPhilippe.

@@EssentialRC "Sent to me by my friends at Model Shop Leeds"? 0:10 I also did notice that the tail appeared to be doing a lot of twisting from the camera view.
The tail section looked VERY WOBBLY when you turned it over. And, I wish everyone would STOP using those 360° cameras !! They shake WAY too much, to get a good idea of how stable the plane flies. I know it's the newest "craze", but a regular camera would work better...
Nothing against you or your channel, I'd come back for those, but I would never consider a foam fuselage over a plastic one, bumma because it's a great looking plane.

Love this glider. Perfect balance of scale vs daily flyers design. Well done. Good review to on shipping.
Thanks Charles! 😎
Thank you for great review of our Twin Shark! 💙
Our pleasure Kavan! New video here which I will make public soon guys. th-cam.com/video/vmvdSeIPq90/w-d-xo.html

480 is an insane price. 🤯
Great review of what looks like a very nice glider that can be ready to fly in minutes. Great onboard coverage too.
Thanks. Line of sight video next time. The sound it makes as it whistles by is fantastic
It looks really nice. Just today, I got my Kavan Pulse 2200 and can confirm the packaging and build quality 😉
Nice 👍
Looks great. Loved the tail mounted video.
Thanks 👍
Looks like a must add to the stable.... would definitely add crow to fly off slope.
Nice flight video 😊
Thanks 👍
This looks an ideal canopy to add a pan/tilt FPV system under.
I think you would find it's far too small. Can't be made deeper as the lipo is at the front.
I’m just learning to fly with the aero scout. I have a radian, but I’m really wanting this one as well.
Nice flick, I figured that camera would make her tail heavy. 😀
Nah, I had the CG bang on with the battery up to the front.
what a beauty there will definitely be happy thanks for the video
Thanks for watching Ratta!
Que bonito el glider !!! Para empezar !!
Thanks for video !!.
Es un planeador increíble para principiantes y expertos. Gracias !
Kavan is the new name of the Daniel Pelikan brand from the Czech Republic
nice video. Which was the take off weight for the model ? What about the winglets after several fligths ? winglets seem to be quite easy to be damaged. Thanks
No idea buddy. I don't weigh models before I fly them. Winglets are OK but need to protect them during transport
In UK do you need a license to fly a glider ??
If it weighs over 250g you need to be registered with the CAA and have the provided Operator ID marked on your RC aeroplane. I always recommend joining a model flying club and getting BMFA membership which includes 3rd party insurance.

Hello Very nice & beautiful glider by Kavan ! Tell me, if you compare to the FMS ASW-17, what should be your final choice ? Rgds
They are very different gliders! The Kavan is great for thermalling and pure gliding. The FMS is more for aerobatics. Choose your weapon according to what you like doing 😉
@@EssentialRC Thks a lot for your answer. Currently, I glide with a MPX EasyGlider4 and a FMS ASW-17. Both are different ; but they are also complementary
Great review! Nice looking glider. Shame about the price!
About the same as other 3 metre gliders but a little higher as its latest design and just come out. Can only hope price decreases after its initial launch period.
Ya it's too much coin for sure😂
Just about right for a first glider? £370 yeh right.
Hi Dom.
Hope you are doing well.
I know that you have flight both on ASW-17 FMS and this Kavan Twin Shark.
What would be your preference❤?
Thks.
To read you.
JPhilippe.
So what was the famous monument? I didnt see it?
Stonehenge. Think I needed to get a lot higher for it to be visible
I was gonna guess that, looks like the south.
What kind of "air time" would you expect from this setup with 4s batt?
It's a glider. On a warm day with thermals you could stay up for a very long time

Is there much difference from this model to the asw28? Where I live it's hard to find models like that.
Yeah. Very different. This is excellent for gliding and thermalling, but the ASW28 is far more aerobatic
Hello. Could you share or add file for Tx16 radio setup for this glider.
I don't have it, sorry. Nothing complicated about ! Takes 30 seconds.
No chance of anything getting damaged in transit or post. You must live next door to the model shop!!!
I would like to so that I didn't have to dispose of all that foam packing.
£370 2.7 metre glider as your first? Sounds like a paid promotion.
Nope. Wasn't paid.

I also did notice that the tail appeared to be doing a lot of twisting from the camera view.
Yes. They sent it to me for review. It's a foamie...so yeah some flex but then even composite models will do that.
@@EssentialRC So in effect £370 in kind.
Would also suggest that the T tail is the major contributor to the flex.
The tail section looked VERY WOBBLY when you turned it over. And, I wish everyone would STOP using those 360° cameras !!
They shake WAY too much, to get a good idea of how stable the plane flies. I know it's the newest "craze", but a regular camera would work better...
@scottyreeves8179 This video is two years old.
@professionalrobloxplayer yeah. I saw
foam fuselage , NO WAY! bye.
Bye
Nothing against you or your channel, I'd come back for those, but I would never consider a foam fuselage over a plastic one, bumma because it's a great looking plane.
Composite fibreglass? OK... but a lot more money. If you can afford it it is the better option
Hate foamies!
Wow..a bit over priced!
