I have been flying RC gliders on and off since 1976. I wish we had something like this back in the day. Great video, Laine is an excellent pilot and this is a wonderful airplane~!
You're not going to believe this, but I also had a Cirrus back then. It had a 10-foot wingspan and it was white. I flew it slope soaring at Torrey Pines State Park in Southern California. I also had a Wanderer-99 with flaps and slats. I no longer live in California so I don't fly gliders that much anymore.
As he is a glider pilot I thought the set up for his landing was quite ill prepared. As it is an aerobatic glider it’s slippy, heavy and built primarily for aerobatics. I would have felt nervous if that was my glider under the hands of someone else going low and slow in a final turn. But as the video shows the glider is capable and very impressive none the less.
Glad it did well for you, My flying buddy got one flew it about 2 minutes then the ailerons locked up in a turn and all he could do was to keep flying in circles till it hit the ground, it broke the wing tube on one side, and we ended up having to break one the tabs off cause it refused to release the other side. I think they sent him a new wing but the fuse is damaged too.
I can get the 10 minutes of flight without the... motor Putting it in that circle.. idk. No matter how hard I try I'm always at 2nd base. Mostly..huh different way to look at it cool.. !
I went to a battery place here in Erie and they do not make the lipos .. I got to look into this little bit. More.. they're scared of a fire... It's not your fault it would be my fault...! Tesla invented wireless energy in the 1800 wtf.. is going on.. why ..!! why. ?? Aaaaahhhhhhh! Sumbitches!!
If you do, please get it thru my Amazon link, it does pay RCI a small comission for the referral & it does not cost you anything extra:) amzn.to/2POpXEp
Again please let me know if FMS has any way to access the main to change it without really breaking the housing or buying a new fuselage. The tire is very soft for asphalt. My field’s grass is very rough and very long most of the time to land on it.
I’m getting a bit too used to these fantastic vids your putting out Rich.....I’m noticing other creators aren’t up to your standard and it’s making me an editing snob as I’m expecting other vids to be crisp like yours 👍🏻😉👍🏻 Fantastic job. I ordered one of these straight after watching your first few vids. Have to go get it tomorrow. It’s one smoooooooth looking girl. Are you going to film the comp tomorrow? Would be awesome to see how he gets on. Once again, thanks Rich, great production as usual. All the best Dean Wales, UK
i have a setup for a dx8e . Its for my 2.3 fox but I'm sure it is very similar . I have it setup for 2 position flaps, crow, and camber. Throttle is on the stick and camber is on the right knob.
Not exactly intended as an LMR plane, but sure it will thermal, try some aerobatics motor off, jeez, you've flown it every way but the way it was designed to be flown.

76? WOW! I had a Cirrus back then. Whereabouts are you if I may ask?

Would love to pick your brain about some higher scale ideas (helping Ukraine). Any way I could contact you?
That was a pleasure to watch. I hope my FOX 2300mm is that good. Just got it, maiden tomorrow, 5/7
I maiden my Fox 3000 yesterday... ruclips.net/video/IkizFoyYe5U/видео.html
It was a success👍🏾👍🏾😊

Sorry to hear it.
Cool video Rich, that Fox is amazing. Couldn't hear Laine very well at all. Interesting all the same
i have one of these, and it does thermal. I did 30 mins today on one battery. Ill have to start doing some videos with my DJI flight unit and goggles.
Mines been sitting in the box for years. not sure i have the eye sight for this sort of flight
No video makes justice to this plane, if you guys have a meter at home, measure what 3 meters looks and feels like in reality. It is just massive!
Awesome Rich, love gliders,I have a radian and would love this sexy fox 👊🏼👊🏼
I was truly thinking about getting this.. it's always windy always something over here in Erie..!! I just need a bigger plane lol !

Are you in Erie PA
Would have been informative if we could have heard the pilot's comments.
That’s a pretty cool plane!

The tire is very soft for asphalt. My field’s grass is very rough and very long most of the time to land on it.
What sort of wind conditions will this fly in
May I ask which AMA flying site is this? Gorgeous, gorgeous field.
Mac Hodges field, Americus GA
Rich, great vid as always. For someone new to gliders can you offer some advice as to how to trim out the plane? Your boy Lane can fly!
See my other answer to your other question🙂👍
Lots of hang time 👍✈️

Does it include the radio transmitter? It seems to be too expensive.
No transmitter only the plane... I think the price is good!
Hi, any idea where I can download a setup file for the DX8 type radio, just go the DX8e and can not find file for settings
thanks for any help
No idea

how high was the plane cruising?
Hi to fly whit one 5s?
this glider don't look like it's a 3000mm wing span
It is 3m
@@RCINFORMER : 3m = 3000mm.
