You are the man, Filos! I'd like to say that you did what I wished flyboa would have done a long time ago, as soon as I have the opportunity I'll try to replicate your bird! Thank you so much for being so attentive to details and describing the whole process of your builds on video. Happy flights my friend!

I gotta say, I tried your bagging technique out on a tail set and it turned out pretty awesome. I'm a fan, an easy way to get into composites with household equipment 😃. Thank you for your videos 🙏🏼

Awesome flights in high altitude! The weather is suitable for thermal flights, I see. Your glider is perfect with this 3 servo setup. I like Your electronics parts arrangement, You can save about 10g about the AUW. Bravo!

you are the master of launching up and staying up - do you think you location helps as compared to flat park flying?

I used to think this site has no thermals being surrounded by trees and I was trying to find a more open and flat field. After 2 years of practice I am now sure thermals are everywhere and anytime. Its better between 10am and 2pm for me before the wind starts picking up. In calm days like this one 1 out of 2 launches is a thermal ride. The most challenging is to thermal in relative strong wind where the thermals shift rapidly, on those days it can be like 1 out of 10 or 20 launches. Upwind, downwind or sidewind are all fine since the thermal isolates it self from the topic conditions, you just need to get inside it.
