hi Rob. You said in earlier comments that you were planning on making a run of the carbon fibre bracketing to sell, did you/are you still doing that. Your system looks brilliant, so much simpler than the mosquito etc...

@massimocicoria7591 12 күн бұрын

L'idea e' buona , la sola cosa ti consiglio , di fare un sistema più robusto dell' estruso e il legno per alloggiare i motori , metti un castello motore piu' adeguato , usa materiali adatti al volo ( alluminio , fibra di vetro e carbonio , compensato multistrato di betulla ) Saluti dall'Italia

Mounting without operation is pointless.

@alaininswitzerland 13 күн бұрын

With such a high thrust line attached to the glider, the risk of tumbling seems very high to me. Unless proven differently,, I will stick to my mosquito harness.

We are not quite there yet - with the power - for a take off from flat ground but very close. However we still need some wind 'cause we cant run that fast :) We can certainly doddle along in ground effect as you can see in "a love story".

@robertberndes7878 hi Robert do you have more videos of the twin motor downtube mount setup old design I like the previous videos very much could you please post it also.( Wasp wiing style year 2010 )

@UltraLigero1 13 күн бұрын

Interesting.. Is bracket robust enough to take twisting torque with one motor out? also needs testing on one motor? What if any/all of it falls into the wing? I'd rather have all thrust in the centre.

@robertberndes7878 4 сағат бұрын

Yes, ideally but how do you get more power cheaply? Also the props avoid the wires by a large margin this way.

Love what you’re doing. I’ve seen the early gas king post mounted versions in action in the middle 70’s. Two of my HG friends where experimenting in New Hampshire- USA and two separate occasions managed to forward tumble during a full power stall. Both survived luckily by large bushes below. Granted today’s wings are far more stable then those early wings Still we have not heard what your units are putting out for thrust. Can you maintain or climb in still air conditions??? My old Mosquito was putt out just over 100 lbs thrust and I tried a friend’s direct drive electric motor installed on a harness and putting out about 60 lbs for a slow climb.

@robertberndes7878 3 сағат бұрын

Hard to say since it is just a helper motor to increase our flying envelope but when it has been barley flyable (light winds) we have gotten to 100ft instead of just scraping our wings along the ridge.

@simonhughes-king 15 күн бұрын

There is a very good reason that the successful motor modifications for HG are attached to the pilot. It's to do with pitch stability in turbulence. When under power, you get big pitch down moments when the pilot goes light on the hang strap. There have been a few attempts at airframe attached motors. Most have either killed or nearly killed their inventors.

@cwallen32 13 күн бұрын

Completely disagree. You can successfully mount motors to a glider. However, this design will have issues if you try to flat-land launch it with no ridge lift. The thrust line is too high compared to the center of mass, however, with the low power motors and some ridge lift I don't see an issue with the design just limited in application and wouldn't increase motor size much. My preference is an ehelp for low performance gliders and a twin keel mount for high performance (still testing but getting good results and 400fpm up). Also if you're referring to the Soar Master I read one of the best accident reports out of the UK on the unit and have spoken with multiple pilots who actually flew them including Mark Stucky. My takeaway is people didn't understand the operating limitations, didn't have proper training, and were flying them on very dated equipment by today's standards.

@@cwallen32 Yep, agree Cas. "However, this design will have issues if you try to flat-land launch it with no ridge lift." That was my first thought on seeing the launch from the beach. Lot's of laminar flow there to help out. Looked like he could have gone gooning without any help. LOVE the idea and the adventure! "...people didn't understand the operating limitations,..." This is your golden nugget IMHO. Thanks.

YUP! 1970 baby! My feet first left the ground in the summer of love, 1969.☮ 55 years later, after a marriage, house, kid, dead kid, divorce, and I am still flying! I love every minute of airtime I can get! I have Aviation Induced Divorce Syndrome... AIDS for short.😂 A suggestion. Mount two ducted fan motors. one on each down tube. This will lower your thrust line. They are pricey. About 300. bucks apiece+ batteries etc, but each fan has an output of 8.6kg that will give you a total of 17.2kg/37.9 lbs. of thrust.

I've been looking for a while for an old old HG video. Title was something like "walking the dog". It was a short vid, somewhere in Australia (I think) on the beach between beach houses, very blustery day, short dune/sea breeze hops, dog barking and chasing along after the glider. Set to music Angus and Julia Stone "Bella" I just love the vibes of this video. would love to find it again....

That's awesome! All it needs now is a tiny range extender. Then you could climb whenever you want without an updraft, and glide cross country on a small tank of gas.
