Keep in mind- these have a LOT of drag particularly with the prop installed even if freewheeling. Look for a steep, consistent glide but it won't float. It still appears to me to be a bit tail heavy.
Thanks. I did add a little weight last night but the wind came up today and I couldn't test it. I have an area with a lot taller grass I'm gonna continue testing in. I just got really excited she performed as well as she did!! I'm going to try for low and slow ROG flights when I get her right.
OK, the airplane is cool, but the real star is the camera person/commentator. Put a rubber band in it! I always hollered at my kids "never run towards the airplane!" ♥
She's a trip, that's for sure. It didn't help that I had to bribe her with chocolate to film me. Have you seen this one of her? ruclips.net/video/qvrykyIx4qA/видео.html
It's been too windy to try powered flights but I'm gonna start with two loops of 1/8 and see what that does. It has a 7 1/2 inch hook to peg length so maybe 20 inch loops.
Beautiful glide.
Some of those glides looked really promising! Great you can turn the hobby into a family activity!
I really want to pt a motor in it but I'm not gonna rush this one.
Beautiful red baron. You need tall grass.
Thanks. Yes, tall grass is best.
looks like a flyer to me 2:22

Trimmed out great. You put the rubber motor in yet? ...and what size/ length of rubber?
