INTRODUCTION F5J electro glider 2860mm starter model Flight review

The model:
Libelle Competition - Libelle Evo - Libelle Supreme - Libelle A 380 ... The INTRODUCTION F5J, our first model for the still young competition class F5J, has inherited excellent genes! Of course it is a plane for all kind of pilots: for those, who love long flights in the thermals as well as for those, who love to have relaxing flights, for the "come-without-charger-to-the-model-flying-site"-pilots as well as for the "I-won't-charge-between-the-flights"-pilots. Inspired by our world-famous Libelle A380, we created our new Introduction F5J by resolving the one and only serious problem the A 380 had: No airbrakes to escape thermal lifts.
As usual we used stable tubular carbon spars, precisely lasercut wood parts, a very simple construction (Hoellein-3D-puzzle), easy and forgiving take off-, flight- and landing characteristics, large speed range due to the modified AG35 section, ecxellent handling and thermal characteristics. Easy purchase of single spare parts and assemblies. Made in Germany!
New: 2860mm wingspan, 920g flying weight, three-part wing with multiple dihedral and attached wingtips, lightweight rudder and elevator constructed in a solid interlocking framework, removable elevator (optional) mounted in front of the rudder, 90° deflectable landing flaps enabling you flying vertical descents, integrated wing connectors in the main spar, innovative (tool- and tape-free) fixation of the outer wings. Vertical descents with deflected landing flaps (90°) and landings avoiding the vortex zone on steep slopes are now possible without any problems.
The recommended drive - containing the BL-outrunner Hacker A20-22L Evo, a 3-cell LiPo with a capacity of 1300mAh and the CamCarbon 11x6 prop - allows a many many climbs to thermal country. Due to the light weight, a motor run time of 5 to 10 seconds per climb is sufficient.

[@sigee32]

There is nothing quite like laying in the grass on a hot summer day,hunting and catching thermals and flying for an hour without touching the throttle. You should try it,its very relaxing.

[@rcchronicles25]

That sounds pretty good!

[@willnate35]

I can no longer watch your vids at work. I'm laughing so much that my coworkers think I'm going crazy. Keep up the great work boyz!!!!! Big salute from Maine USA.

Please tell Captain Christian A huge salute from Texas from one kit builder to another, what a great flight.

[@krist370]

Jeff Ussery thanks! Solute back!

[@snipereliete]

Great to see a builder in this world of ARF and foam planes my late father taught me to build.building is a dying art

[@flightcomp]

Yes, finally! One of the best 5J models is made in Slovenia.

[@krist370]

flightcomp kit comes from germany. But if I had some more free time, I could design something simillar on my own. In near future hope to test new Kolibri 10 V2 ( Kolibri 13) with new set of wings.

[@flightcomp]

Oh no I meant there is a guy in Slovenia making one of the best 5j models. The Ultima. I didn't mean your kit was made in Slovenia. Great job on your build!

[@mallong7532]

Now that is a real work of art. It reminds me of the Kiel kraft caprice (you can still buy) I built as a teenager. No rc then, I threw it into the air as a test for cg and it flew up and away and I just stood dumbfounded as it rose above the clouds never to be seen again. That’s art not sh...🕊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️

[@larryandfranryan1053]

one of my favourite things is relaxing while watching some of our local wedgetail eagles working the lift,sometimes just clearing the rooftops warming in the early morning.Another favourite is flying a glider when there's a bit of lift in the air.I know when my neck gets sore,there is good lift around.It is very satisfying when you actually realise the model is making height. you should try it,thanks for another entertaining clip

Beautiful flight, and way to stick a landing, Captain Kristjan!

[@panther105]

Heartwarming to see someone still building balsa wood framed wings and fuselage. You can really see the beauty of the structure and it looks just so light and aerodynamic. Good job!! (If the manure pile was just a little bigger you could have thermalled over it.... Come on cows!!! Do you your duty!!)

[@martinkupka3575]

Only recently I thought that it´s unfair that glider pilots have to miss videos about rc gliders commented by the matchless Petrincic brothers. And now you did it. Thanks, also to Cpt. Kristian!

[@krist370]

Martin Kupka thanks for comment! Gliders are fun if you know how to handle with them

[@frankienv3906]

capt Blaz his mind is always in the bedroom, we must be brothers..lol That glider is good for Pilot Robert, no need to use his crooked hand to fly 👍

[@ahorrigan_skerries]

Beautiful glider, I salute all from Ireland.

[@braddixon3338]

"No soup for you, 1 year!" Nice :-) I actually really enjoy flying gliders just for that experience, so smooth and serene.

[@krist370]

Brad Dixon me too, but for last 10 years I was more in electric planes. When I started in 1996 with RC, I had only gliders in my hangar, since electric motors were too heavy and underpowered.

[@attonicuc44]

Perfect Friday video

[@pfiltz]

@@krist370 Fly those gliders using FPV is the way to go as well. ;)

[@krist370]

Phillip you read my mind😉 I’m planing to do that in future

[@pfiltz]

@@krist370 I lost a small glider last summer. I wasn't flying FPV, but it got caught in what they call a "hat sucker" thermal. It took my glider, and I never saw it again. I was flying way too high for the size of the small glider, and it just vanished. Some of the more veteran glider pilots have told me on forums that if you can't see the elevator your too high :)

[@ROLXXII]

Dis was a true highlight video on your channel Pilot Robert. Another great aspect to the RC hobby, is seeing scratch build kit planes that have been built with such skill and passion like dis one by Cap't Kristjan hey. Cap't Kristjan has an excellent KZbin channel, who seems incredibly skilled and talented at designing and building his own flying machines. If dis isn't it, then it can never be possible, salute!

[@maryfaust8047]

Awsome sailplane! I have been flying mine for 2 years and I love it. It truly would have gone up on the rising air from the manure pile. My first flight with my Inroduction was over an hour I landed because I needed to use the restroom. What fun!

[@krist370]

Mary Faust yes it is. I did more than 35 minutes on one battery (used 450mAh). Mostly I was tuning model, so a lot of landings, testing flaps, turns,...

I love my gliders.30 years ago I learnt to fly on a 2m glider.kristen is an amazing builder.its great to see the next generation of builder's coming through.all these ARF kits r ok but there is nothing sweeter than watching something U built yourself flying in the air.its an amazing feeling.thanks guys as always a great video.big salute from Australia

[@shiznuts]

Haha, would love to go to Slovenia again. I visited my parents once when they were in Zreče and visited Ljubljana. You should do a summer camp weekend! People overnight in tents at the runway! Then during the day go flying... grill BBQ in the evening! I would love that, hey!

[@rayivie4880]

Great idea. Hey

[@shiznuts]

Yeah and maybe with a few people there, we can help build a better runway, now that would be something, hey. Could you imagine this!? That would be very sexy! Ohwww yeah! You could do wheelie landings for a lifetime! I would salute for that, hey!

[@HFamilyDad]

My first and only attempt at a balsa free flight (no radio) glider was launched on the Town Moor in Newcastle UK back in 1982. We watched it for hours as it soared higher and higher, it never came down and turned into a tiny dot really high! Moral of the story; don't make your first glider so bloody perfect that it flies away! We put a rudder kick in so it would circle on any thermal it found. You used to be able to burn a rubber band with a lit fuse (do modellers still do this?), we didn't have one on this maiden flight as I didn't think I could possibly make such a good plane that would fly so well. I lost a lovely glider but still wouldn't have missed it for the World, very satisfying. It may have landed down your way, or better still might still be in the air 38 years on! Tis a good hobby eh!

[@krist370]
