Swift S-1 at SLoT

Fun soaring my lighter Swift S-1 aerobatic scale model glider at SLoT soaring site in Benicia, California. This R/C sailplane has a 2.7-meter wingspan and weighs a little over 4.1Kg (147 oz) ready-to-fly. Onsite weather sensor reported wind was blowing from ~19 to 26 mph during the flight.

This is the glider equivalent of some bad ass blues guitar. Just awesome!

[@Planekrazy1]

Wow that is very kind of you, what an amazing compliment. It sure was a lot of fun and I am glad that you enjoyed it.

[@28th_St_Air]

What an ideal spot. Complete with a field of poppies to land in :)

[@Planekrazy1]

Yup, the poppies were popping proud, ready to cushion the landing 😇🙂

Wow! maybe one day I will be able to fly like that, maybe not.

[@Planekrazy1]

For sure you can, the airframe is way more capable than my piloting skills. It looks and sounds great cruising around the sky. With a good place to and some wind a lot of fun is possible.

Thanks man

[@ALewin6247]

I have a Jester on order but that swift flies amazing, do you run CG back a little?

[@Planekrazy1]

Congrats, that is a great glider. I run my Swift CG where the builder marked on the wing.

[@twooldcampersandadog8169]

Man, that's cool! What kind of motor do you use?

[@Planekrazy1]

LOL, solar wind powered ☀️💨
