You should consider putting each aileron and flap on it's own channel to take advantage of crow braking, trailing edge control across the entire wing for camber and reflex.
That's a shame. I found this glider responds well to trailing edge camber. Also, dedicated eletric glider pilots fly with throttle on a switch, on or off and crow brake on the throttle stick. Takes awhile to get used to but precise landing control is the benefit and face it, we are only using the motor to climb to altitude so no real need for a proportional throttle@@FatGuyFliesRC
Very cool. I have an RC Sailplane I used to fly along with a couple of helicopters and drones. I no longer fly because of an eye disease is robbing me of my sight but I sure do love and miss flying them.
@@FatGuyFliesRC I got my first RC Helicopter in 1986 just after I got out of the Army. It was made by Hirobo and have been fell in love with the hobby. Unfortunately the one real RC hobby shop we had went out of business but some of their planes they had were amazing. One of them was this C5A Galaxy that was incredible to see.
15 minute to 30 if you can catch some thermals. Your neck will start hurting before the lipo gives out. I only fly for 5 to 6 minutes for video purposes.
I would agree... 15 min. in dead air.. 30min. with some thermal help.. Possibly much longer. If you program trailing edge camber it thermals much better but it is a heavy glider and needs moderate lift@@FatGuyFliesRC
The Tower Hobbies ASW 28 is one fun to fly stable power glider that I highly recommend!!
Look at that big plane!
Big gentle giant!

Well good tip but a friend of mine wanted this so i sold it to him.

Sorry about your eyes but passing on your knowledge about the hobby is a great way to stay in it.Thanks for sharing.

Thats a cool glider. AWSOME
Thanks it is!
I fly a 2400 mm glider . The only mix i use is aileron rudder and makes for better turns and also helps on landing.
I could see that! Fair enough!
How long do you think you can keep this bird up for the longest time?

What do you think the best battery is to use for up time and weight for this glider? I just bought one.
3200 4s
@@FatGuyFliesRC What connector for the esc?
