That was a fun one to watch. You have that glider dialed in. Those launches are sweet. Thank Sam

Thank you! I haven't caught the Big One yet... 🤨

[@pacificWebsurfer]

nice work; the second hundred feet are the hardest :)

[@chilly7261]

Thank you

[@ratride1]

Did you purchase this as a kit? Thanks

[@chilly7261]

It's an ARF. It's prebuilt, you have to assemble and install radio. I bought it from kennedycomposites.com

[@georgem.6136]

What changes occur between the different modes? Thermal, Speed, cruise, etc.

[@chilly7261]

Mostly it changes elevator position, from nose down for penetration, to up elevator for floating in a thermal. There's some right rudder in launch mode to straighten out the release. This video gives the details and how-to program if you're interested... kzbin.info/www/bejne/o56sm4GqlLiCgtE

@@chilly7261 i reckon it's easier to just use my thumb for pitch adjustment unless i've got flaperons to use ;) it's getting into autumn here, but even so : kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppS1iqtmn9yhirc the interesting bit is the low level lift at 1:28, but the clipping tool defeats me showing that bit alone (although the dog is worth a view on her own) the plane is a scratch built modification of a lightnin' bug, which is even happier now with an extra few grams up front
