NAN Explorer 3,8 meter, maiden flight.

🦅😃 Explorer 3,8 meter F5j glider.
Flying my new secondhand NAN Explorer 3,8 meter for the first time.
There was no motor in the glider when I bought it yesterday and I could not wait to fly it so it had to have the maiden flight on the slope today😃🍻 I will get a motor for it in a week or so 🤛😃

The hovering sequence was fun to watch.

I have only flown my Explorer in flat land thermals, nice to see one on a slope. Thanks for posting.

Fenomenalne , jak ja bym tak chciał ! Marzę o takich warunkach i spokojnym technicznym lataniu . Pozdrawiam,

NAN Models are making great stuff!
Nice to see one in your hands! 👍
The hovering part was so satisfying!... 🙂
The wind seems to have been just right.

[@SpeedsterDEN]

Yes, it is so nice to fly. 100 days after the maiden flight It has now flown 107 hours 😁

@@SpeedsterDEN I just started and my Goal is the Fly F5J and see if I have the Right Stuff. Thanks for the Reply back. It means a lot to this old timer. Peace be With You. Gory

Hi SpeedsterDen, is this the Exporer 3 and that is the AUW? Thanks, Roel

[@SpeedsterDEN]

Yes, Here I fly it without of the motor on the maiden flight, but now with the motor the auw with 1000 mha batt is 1350 gram.

[@christopherleveck6835]

I used to fly nothing but slope. Didn't realize how much I missed it until right this moment. Are there plans for a kit? Are you selling plans?

[@softmechanics3130]

Great. I plan to order this plane sometime in the future as it is below 2kg and thus doesn't require complicated registration. Will it work with a 2830 or 3536 motor at 4S? The recommended motors are too expensive,Thanks.

[@SpeedsterDEN]

There is only room for a 28 mm diameter motor, and best if It is a inrunner with wires out the back end

[@softmechanics3130]

@@SpeedsterDEN Then I will build a clone with 2830 motor

[@stejer211]

Is that a new kind of NACA duct?

Dunegooning.

[@rcplanetech1]

@speedserDen - How would you rate / compare this to your ArtHobby Fleet?

[@SpeedsterDEN]

It is like flying a 4 meter DLG, easy to fly well and the performance is better. But you can get 3 x Silent or 4 x Odyssey for the prize of one Explorer 😳

@@SpeedsterDEN Awesome flying! Thank you for posting! So the $2,500. question is, "Will those cheaper models fly as well"?
