Glider-Eating Tree (Will I get my CLG back?)

[@TheRcSaylors]

This was such a fun video to watch :) Really glad to see an upload from you NightHawkGliders!!!

[@NighthawkGliders]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by! 😀

Talk about nasty weather; here in the Northeast we’ve had constant snow, wind and

[@NighthawkGliders]

Yeah, can’t wait for summer! That day was just too windy for these gliders. I had much better flights in the morning. I like the twine idea. Thanks! 👍😀

[@AeroCraftAviation]

Yes, i hope summer gets here soon. I have quite a few outdoor planes I’ve built over the winter, and I’m just waiting for that first warm day to fly them. I think it would be cool to make one of your CLGs with some kind of ballast system, so you could add ballast for windier days. The twine thing is just a nice trick to have up your sleeve for those times when it’s really gets lodged in the branches. Definitely a handy trick! :)

Great recovery technique, would it be cruel to mention it looks like you get plenty of practice 😁👍

[@NighthawkGliders]

Nope! Not cruel at all! 😝

I am new to the hobby thanks to PowerUp 4.0! I bought a couple of updrafts for it, and thanks to this video, I finalized my investment into the hobby with the purchase of a fine USA made softball, haha!

Brad, time to get one of those 11-12m carbon fishing poles off ebay. They're down to about $60 now, and free shipping. Most of them pack down really small too.

[@NighthawkGliders]

Yup, seem like the right tool for the job. 😊

[@goldenfish77]

Very nice glider! I have similar issues with my gliders too...almost in hard wind. :) Nice vid, thanks!

[@NighthawkGliders]

Thanks! I’m sue a lot of us glider makers can relate to this! Lol! 😂

I have a plane eating tree near me too seems to draw them in with some mysterious force .

[@NighthawkGliders]

Yeah, even when I knock it out of the tree, it immediately sucked it back up! There is gravity, electro-magnetic, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear forces... but scientists have neglected the free-flight tree force! 😝

[@DaveMerc]

Are you going to Flite Fest Ohio 2019?

[@NighthawkGliders]

Absolutely, YES! My brother, Bruce, and I will both be there! We wouldn't miss it and we'll be there for the whole event! Fingers crossed for good weather.

[@DaveMerc]

We should be there too. Hope to catch up with you at some point.
