Nothing but learning to Bungee Launch

[@robertwoolley8632]

Nice one Cliff. I am impressed with your foggy vision eyesight. Perhaps a flashing cycle lamp would help us mere mortals see more of your flights. ;)

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Rob, that's why the flight part of each flight is cut out! As I said to Brian Forward I wish I'd taken my little stick-on flashing lights, they're super bright and would have looked pretty amazing moving around the fog 👍

[@mikewaller4141]

Flys lovely, thanks for sharing Mike

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Hi Mike, it's better with the bigger throws and lovely and smooth 👍

[@davidquerry8869]

That bungee flying looks like fun, Cliff.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

I was surprised at how well a little piece of rubber performed David, my 20 meters of fishing line would have given me more height but all those thorny bushes precluded that luxury, it was fun though even with the short length 🙂

[@vollzeitflieger2490]

Really nice video, Cliff! All in there, which makes you the good pilot you are: Patience, perseverance and the disposition to learn from every single try. Props to your fair lady for her patience, too! :-) You've got a beautiful spot there for flying. Wished I had something similar in the area... Best regards, Frédéric

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Frederic, it's good to get it right 👍Sal normally goes off for a walk but she's not too good at navigating in the mist 😁

[@alanpaul1234]

Nice. Perseverance paid off. Just a few obstacles in the landing area but a tough model as you say

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Alan, at least the cows, horses and sheep were keeping a low profile 😁

[@IansRCExploits]

A great game of catch!! And nice to see Wifey taking part Lol 😄👍

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

It's actually quite satisfying when it all goes right. I guess the pressure would be on if the Hound of the Baskervilles was trying to chase it down 😁 we weren't that far from Grimpound Mire! Yes, it's good to train up the other half when conditions allow 😁😁

[@loknlode]

That's a nifty looking glider Cliff! I have a rocket boost glider coming, something like this looks like great fun. Nice flying friend!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Steven, rocket boost eh! November 5 is coming up 😁👍

[@bobbarlow1]

Fun in the mist,nice model to keep in the car 😎

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

That's right Bob 👍

Good show, Cliff😁👍👏👏👏👏👏👏!

Thanks Richard, I hoped you would enjoy it 👍

[@Brian-1948]

That looked like fun, must get myself up the Moor soon to maiden my two birds.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

You must Brian, what are they?

[@Brian-1948]

@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes The main one is a Stage 2a from Pheonix Models (Stan Yeo) and the 2nd is a Mini Bee which I thought would be a suitable trainer with only rubber/elevator against the aileron 1.6m jobbie.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

@@Brian-1948 Nice models Brian 👍

[@michealohalloran4128]

Nice little glider Much more responsive than last time Looks to be turning much tighter

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Hi Micheal, yes, she's turning great now, longer servo horns did the trick, the throws are about 8mm now total deflection with the aileron and elevator mixed 👍

[@me262a1]

Really enjoyable video. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

You need a bigger seat Terry 😁

Great fun Cliff, I'm going to modify my bungee launcher this cooler season. Well done Sir, Jeff in LA USA

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Heff, bungees are a quick and easy way to get airborne whether gliders or jets, fun whatever 😁👍

[@DadsRCHangar]

Such a shame about the Fog, Great flight with the space you had. Good catching 👍🏻

[@BRIANFORWARD1]

Chris.... How's the lessons coming on... Hope you've got some in before the weather went belly up

[@DadsRCHangar]

@@BRIANFORWARD1 yea In the last video was another clip of the flying in high winds. Was funny. Another lesson tomorrow. I think only rain will stop me 😎

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

@Dad's RC Hangar When do you move on to the hand-catching Chris? 😁

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Yes Chris, a few swooping low passes would have been nice, but it was a fun day 👍

[@BRIANFORWARD1]

@@DadsRCHangar top man your soon have the kites In the blue BIG QUESTION what's going up first in the war bird selection The corsair or the SPIT....... COR WHAT A DECISION.

[@gudjonolafsson]

Brilliant flying, but difficult to land without stopping in the cow pats (horse?)

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Gudjon, a damp towel would be useful, once it dries it's the Devil's own trying to get it off, (cow in this case). 👍

[@peteonart3842]

Nice one Cliff, which site were you at on Dartmoor? Its interesting how many bits on the screen become the glider and after a few seconds you realise your watching a bit of grime n the screen, ha!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Paul, the hill is Black Hilk, really good for Northerlies. I had to clean my screen ti do the editing 😁👍

[@terryblackman6217]

Nice little model. Would you recommend this model as a first RC glider ? Although I have been flying other forms for 50 years.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Hi Terry, I think the answer would be yes. It's tough, floats around on a puff and quick to build 👍

[@terryblackman6217]

Hi, you'll need to find a dealer for Kavan in your nearest country and see if they'll post, Kavan is a Czech company, here's a link I've found to their dealer page, kavanrc.com/en/site/where-to-buy, cheers 👍

[@tedmoss]

How about a flashing light?

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Hi Ted, definitely, I keep one in my flight box now, thanks for the idea though 👍

[@BRIANFORWARD1]

Now for something really difficult take off from the hlll with a kite with UNDERCARRIAGE... Joking aside have you hand launched n electric plane with NAV LIGHTS coming through that mist would look brilliant that's really hard core moor land brilliant!!!!.. Stay well Brian

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Brian, I wished I'd taken my stick-on nav lights, that would have been pretty useful in those conditions 😁

[@BRIANFORWARD1]

@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes I've a 5w red led on the front of my aeroscout that thing even on a sunny day you can see a 1/4mile away... Runs of the ballance lead guy on my field used to launch his gliders on a bungee until the park rangers pointed out that when the hurds of red n fallow deer stampede (quite skittish) there going to be deer cought up in the rubber... So he's now banned from bungees... Mind you another guy does the Discus launch WOW. HE'S, GOOD AND CATCHES IT ALL THE TIME. Like yourself hunting the thermals

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Robin 👍

[@umbongonights]

Nice flying, a bit daring with the fog. I loved the last flight where you held out your hand seemingly inviting the glider to land there … and it missed!!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Phil, I suppose I could have dived in the thorns to make the catch, what sort of glider flyer am I? 😁

[@umbongonights]

@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes . Yes there are limits.
