On the slope I am trying to use there is a road on top of it so there is a flat spot maybe 30 feet across and then it goes down. I noticed you really came close to the ground on the bottom of the circuit. Thank you for the tips.
Give it ballast, and be sure to go as low as possible when going up over the ridge. And fly where the ridge top are as Sharp as possible. The Alula dont need big slope and backside, but just needs a Sharp ridge top that give good backside lee. Chek my wisel DS videos. Good luck S
I have been trying to DS my Alula on an earth dam that looks larger than this slope but just cannot get it to DS. It slows down too much as it goes up the slope into windy side.
Can you please tell us how much weight you used for ballast and where you put it? Is your CG still the same and do the wings have any camber? I tried DSing my Alula but just cant get it to penetrate back into the wind without almost completely stopping, Cheers
Hi There is dunes from south of Løkken all the way to Skagen, highest is 70 meter (Rubjerg knude), so you cant miss it :o) Bring some ballast for the glider, we have wind in DK.
This is slang for Dynamic soaring. And its where you fly the glider in the lee behind the ridge line. Chek Dynamic soaring on youtube, and see gliders go 500 Mph.
I think a ridge like that will need a faster and bigger glider, the Alula dont have the punch to fly DS on a ridge like that. Even the nice dune where I fly DS with my Odyssey the Alula wont do it.
Det er mig igen! Jeg håber du kan hjælpe mig. Jeg har tænkt mig at købe en Alula men jeg ved ikke hvilket batteri og servoere etc. for at jeg kan starte... Har du købt alt dit udstyr fra Alulas hjemmeside (dream-flight.org) eller andre steder fra. Hvilken sender og modtager bruger du? Det er bare det jeg mangler for at komme i gang. Håber du kan hjælpe mig.
Jeg bruger Spektrum anlæg, servoer er HXT 500 fra hobbyking, batteri er et 2 cell lipo med en micro ubec, men 4 AAA batterier kan bruges, så skal der skæres i næsen for at få plads, men tyngdepunkt passer. vær sikker på den sender du får kan mixes til elevon, (Delta wing)
Very cool! Sure got that Alula zipping along after adding the ballast! They really are fun to fly!
Very nice! I will try adding ballast to my Alula on windy days. I enjoyed the video very much.
very nice video, and flying.
i'm ready to maiden my alula in preparation for going to hawaii in a couple months.
thanks!

very nice DS... alula fly smooth...
That was cool you were dynamic soaring in the back haha
I´m so bummed they stopped selling them, just as i discovered this amazing little glider and wanted one.. i found out that they no longer sell them!!
that scream from the plane at the end almost scared me to death
It is so nice, I will buy one.
