LOOKING FOR THERMALS ! FW Models 4.4 metre ASW-17 Powered Glider | Flown by Alex
Fellow club member Alex is addicted to gliders. This is a relatively new ASW-17 that Alex was testing out at our model flying club for the first time. Bit of a dull grey day but warm and he was hoping for some thermal to keep it aloft. I was more interested in the low high speed passes so could hear the zing as it cut through the air. Sounded awesome !
POWER SPECIFICATION:

17 x 11" RF propellor

Sorry to hear that! Surely it will turn up one day. Fingers crossed.

I have a 2.7mm Grob powered glider , it has built up balsa wings , it whistles like that in a high speed pass . No carbon Fibre .

Beautiful model…so well flown and spot on filming Dom…a world away from my Radion Pro that I totalled whilst flying like a warbird😱..polystyrene 🤷🏻🙁

[@EssentialRC]

Thanks. Composite machines like this are a different world in pricing as well Derrick. You'd feel it a lot more if you totalled one of these. I'd be crying.
