I like your flying skills and always watching out for thermal lifts 🤩

[@Planekrazy1]

Thank you for watching and your nice comment. It was so nice of the hawk to come over and show lift to the glider LOL

[@cptmiketube]

Curious, are you using a hat cam? And what camera please? I'm making one and your video is really good quality. Thanks.

[@Planekrazy1]

I used a head-mounted Sony Action Cam FDR-X3000. Thanks for watching.

Hello I’m new to your channel but your videos look awesome, and so does this glider - what do you think of it overall? I’m really wanting to make this my first sailplane

[@Planekrazy1]

Thank you for watching, commenting and posting your question. It is a fun warmliner even when windy and can thermal soar on good lift days. For pure thermal soaring in light to medium conditions I usually take out my Radian.

Murder ! You have cut the wings. 😢🧐

[@Planekrazy1]

This is the stock glider from Tower Hobbies, no modifications by me.

[@docwunder1628]

@@Planekrazy1 Okay. Sorry. Newer saw this modell. 🫠

[@Planekrazy1]

@@docwunder1628 No worries, I totally understand. This glider does not look like the real one. More of a "fun-scale" that performs well for all-around sport soaring.

quite agile for a foamy

[@Planekrazy1]

Hello Ivan, hope all is good with you. You are right, it has quite larger wing control surfaces. Good roll rate and air-braking. Your new Hawk looked great btw 👍
