i didnt think that gliders landed on tarmac/asphalt runways because of the wing tip damage that was caused, good video anyway :) glad to see it didnt do mach 3 on landing :-)
Gliders will quite happily land on tarmac or asphalt surfaces because the wings does not tend to toughdown until the glider reaches a very slow speed. :)
@Fs2004Channel oh fair enough, ive just never seen any videos of them landing on tarmac or asphalt or in real life lol but if i had a glider i would only land it on grass runways xD
@BringEllisTheHoriZon Every sailplane I've seen and flown, from the pig (2-33) to a 50:1 LS-8 back home, have little wheels or skids on the tips to prevent scratching and damage. Although you still want to be careful.
@BringEllisTheHoriZon Well they aren't ungodly huge. They are usually only an inch or two in diameter and tucked away into the wing-tip so only a wee bit is exposed. Perhaps this is why you haven't see them? I know they exist, when I'm not flying on weekends, I'm wing running, so I know they are there. :)
hey impulsive i got fsx and i am currently waiting on joystick throttle and trackir 5 :D

@BringEllisTheHoriZon yes that is correct, but i was showcasing the video, wasn't thinking of real life terms hehe.
i'll be making a video of this glider at a nice airport soon.
