Looks like an really impressive electric glider. At 49 it could be excess rudder used, in particular if rudder and ailerons are not coupled. Or having fun with throttle and flaps and rudder. Or a short recovered tip stall. Have been flying RC gliders since I was 10 😃 Really good drone footage 👍 Ciao from Peter Frank

@SurfPeteDK What a coincidence that you also fly RC gliders. I know quite some windsurfers who also fly glider. Maybe because thermals is just opward wind . The glider is from my clubmate, but I was also very impressed with its performance, fully equiped glider with airbrakes and all. Not the perfomance from a moldy, but price-quality this is unbeatable. When I look back now at the images at '49 I think the glider is going upwards and it's a stall. But not 100% sure. The pilot does not use flaps and rudder and throttle together. All filmed with my mini2. Now I have upgraded to a mini4. More footage will follow in the future. Yannick
