    What I REALY like about your videos is the cool music that does not conflict with voice. Thanks so much.

      Haha yes I am trying to vet the audio better. It is quieter this time but the balance between music and voice is better. I can't get the voice much louder without practically yelling, so I think this is about as good as it gets.

    Great performance in that limited space. Good luck with the Patreon 👍

    Nice flying bird. It was definitely worth converting to R/C.

    • @AeroCraftAviation

      For sure. Haha, I love how these R/C conversions go; just a few days after this conversion, I got bored of it and took out the electronics and converted a different free flight glider. Good fun. :)

    Cool fuse!

      Yeah I'm really happy with how it came out. I'll be making more fiberglass parts in the future now that I know it works so well.

    It is flies very nice, the controller is suitable for it. I like when You turn left or right. This glider is very stable too. Nowadays I catch some thermals, so it is give some flight time. :)

      Agreed, the ailerons give good control for the small space. That's nice that you are catching thermals. I do every once in a while, but rarely get it on camera. :(

      @@AeroCraftAviation Yes, I agreed. I think that I catch a thermal because the glider circled at the same height for a long time. :) I would like to make an RC conversion at one of my foam gliders too. I like the way you control the gliders and it really inspires me!

      @@goldenfish77 Actually, I think i might do an RC version of the Zweibox that you have built. Do you have plans for that glider?

      @@AeroCraftAviation Yes, here is the link: outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=11315 I saw Your HLG RC conversion, it is very great! Could I make a normal HLG and then I can convert it to RC or should I make it with conversion in first time?

      @@goldenfish77 Thanks for the link! For conversion, usually it is best to design and build the glider for the RC control. That way you don't need to make any changes later on. Building it for RC first, you can get the right balance and the right mechanical control. I use these servos on many projects: www.banggood.com/4Pcs-1_7g-Low-Voltage-Micro-Digital-Servo-Mini-JST-Connector-for-RC-Model-p-1289404.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN

      For the battery, In have many different methods depending on the glider. But you can figure it out I'm sure. :)

    Very well done! What was the name of the ff model? Thanks.

      No particular plans. It was just an afternoon project to get rid of a few pieces of balsa wood that I didn't have any particular use for.

    For how long can you fly with that battery? Great video by the way!

    • @AeroCraftAviation
      @AeroCraftAviation  3 года назад

      It can fly for about 30 minutes on all the battery power. But I usually fly it for only 15 or 20 minutes, to keep the battery in good condition.
