You certainly know your aircraft. It is though you have it mentally connected. I enjoy watching you fly.

[@divyajnana]

That thing turns right around the wingtip, incredible. Thanks for the vid.

[@PaulFurber]

Beautiful model and great skill as well. I like the way you casually say you won the F5J world championships last year.

[@GMaX-Eire-forever]

fabulous video. I have flown model gliders in the past before flying full size this past 20 years.

[@chucklohre8740]

Wow! That's some great tight thermaling.

[@ChrisEvansNodd]

I fly 1.5 meter Discus Launch Gliders. They have amazing performance, can climb in the lightest of lift. But I've always wondered just how much better it would be if they were much bigger. Now I know.

[@richardwallinger1683]

this video brought back memories when I was a young boy .. my A1 glider I also handlaunched unfortunately it was not RC controlled and it flew away on a powerful thermal. I relived my youth thank you for your super video .

This glider flys a lot, a dream for glider pilots! And your hands are great adjusted😎✌️✌️. They fly and fly slow and strong. Great work 👏👏

It looks like it's filled with Helium ;) Very nice glider

[@RCflyingmore]

Haha, the chamber for the helium would be much heavier, then the model itself. But nice thought ;-)

[@remopoli3769]

I really like this conversion from F5J to handglider. I think engineless gliders are the best. I understand that the F3J category is almost gone. I think it was the best because you exercised and at the same time you thought. Now many people prefer to move as little as possible.

[@Danburdick-lm5xt]

Great looking glider. It should look great, at £1400+!

[@petercane6376]

I have never seen flying like this. Is this Julian Benz? The glider responds like a faithful live bird as it comes back to its owner and in a split second brought to stall also with brakes! I watch in awe at this skilful flying. Thanks. Peter

[@RCflyingmore]

Yes, I (Julian Benz) was the pilot in this video. Thanks for this honouring words :)

[@petercane6376]

@@RCflyingmore Julian...thank you for taking the time to even reply. I am limited to micro scale gliders because of places to fly them. I have just built the Carl Dowdy " Bug" from plans and tissue and doped it. It has a V tail which I have never built before. I have modelled for 50 years now but never built a modern Hlg or Dlg with carbon spars etc. It is ultra light and I love to learn modern build concepts What I have to ask you as a world class Rc glider pilot is...... You have chosen a V tail design. What are the advantages? If you have time to answer I will also be honoured. Happy happy flying and please continue to " wow" us with your unequalled skills! Peter

[@dwvfilms7238]

I can see me trying this and getting my left and right mixed up and throwing the transmitter up the runway while I keep hold of the glider 🤣🤣

[@RCflyingmore]

Ouh that would be not that right 😂 you could use a strap for securing your transmitter 😉

[@larjkok1184]

The glider is the giant plane-looking thing. Pretty simple.

[@douglasmaclean5836]

what an awesome video !

Hi Julian, thanks for sharing your ideas and nice flights! If I could suggest a possible future topic, it would be, if you would be so kind and sharing you way of setting up a newly build glider, I mean only that you tell us the basic steps a principle you follow (in particular V tail glider, such as this in the video) as well as arrangement of the different controls on the transmitter which works well for you. (For example visibly, you work all the time with flaps, so you must have it assigned to a place that is in the right position..) thanks for considering! Have a great day!

[@RCflyingmore]

Hi Adrian, thank you for your feedback! I have planned to do that with the Xperience Pro F5J in future ;-) Greetings Julian

[@samuelcruz9258]

Thermal here ,thermal there... You have skills and lucky .

[@samuelcruz9258]

And money.

[@teektan]

Julian - Awesome videos. I loved all of them. But your flat field must have plenty of thermals. IN Asia.. mostly sink is all around :-(

[@RCflyingmore]

Thank you! Normally where sink is, is also lift. But of course in some regions it's more difficult to catch some thermals

[@longbowshooter5291]

Back in the day I had a 50" HLG called "Flipper". I had a lot of fun with it in small fields. Doing a search for Flipper, the one I see is NOT the one I had then, the one I had was all balsa wood, the newer Flipper looks like a lot of carbon parts. The one I had was made by Bridi Aircraft Designs, I found the plans for it. Might hafta just grab some balsa and get things dusty.

[@MrSchuetzendorf]

F5J als HLG ist aus meiner Sicht die faszinierendste (nicht vorhandene) Modellklasse. High-Tech-Modelle ohne den ganzen Antriebs- und Windenkram reduzieren Modellfliegen auf das Wesentliche. Und wenn dann so eine Performance dazukommt, macht das Zuschauen Spaß.

[@RCflyingmore]

Da gebe ich dir recht! Auch als Pilot macht es unglaublich Spaß und das Gefühl wenn man in der Thermik kreißt ist einfach Klasse

[@borealisgelidus4427]

[@pauljs75]

I wonder if the PWR on solar is good enough for that? Without a motor, the draw from RC stuff is likely minimal. Could probably stay up longer than most people are willing to keep flying it.

[@remigoldbach9608]

Perhaps you could also use the holes of the 3D printed piece and the motor mount in the fuselage to screw it ? But if tape do the job, it’s a fast solution.

[@canna-spot]

loads of pure fun, but what's the price ? not everybody is a champion, just wants to have the thrill and joy with a supreme performance

[@RCflyingmore]

The price is around 1800-2800€ ready to fly depending on the version and built in components. Sounds probably a lot, but the model is handmade and not easy to manufacture with that quality.

[@eternalfire1244]

What black magic is this? I have flown a good number of gliders, but have never seen this kind of performance. I think I need to reevaluate what I fly now... Also need to find me a budget for an upgrade. (current models flying are Gentle lady and MPX Heron)
