@bluecamaross I just moved to a new state in a new house and going to start a new job soon. Give me a couple weeks to get setup and I might be able to work something out.
@Mrcheseburger1 Yep, home made. Not too hard to build, hardest part was the kevlar nose, but thats mostly cause I had never done anything like that before. Everything else was pretty straight forward, tail, boom, wing and a good throw.
@jeremyriley39 You mean the throwing peg/blade? I've used a small scrap of 1x3mm carbon fiber strip just as a little nub in the wing tip to get some grip, otherwise I dont use anything at all.
The camera is one of those little keychain cameras from ebay, I simply tape it to the bill of a hat for hands free recording...I'd have to be Vishnu to juggle all that at once!
Thanks guys, this one has worked out quite well! James, no extension, I just pinch the wing tip and whip it side arm. I would like to try adding a launch hook and rubber band/catapult launch it, it would save on the sore shoulder.

Feaking cool! what did you use for controls on the glider? Acutors or servors?
th3dud3007 1 year ago
@th3dud3007 Thanks, I used the E-Flite mCX helicopter RX brick for the glider, the servos seem to handle the loads just fine.

Very nice ! L'aile est jolie, les temps de vols sont respectables, et il a l'air costaud !
C'est un Aileron/ Profondeur (pas de dérive)? Envergure / Masse ? Aile pleine ou nervurée ? On veut en savoir plus ! :-)

do you make these with plans or do you just free draw them?
qacermacer 2 years ago
Depends on the plane, but for the gliders I use plans I find online and resize them to what I need.
microbuilder 2 years ago
why not put camera on stand and loosen it up so you can just swivel it in stead of holading camra, remote, plane, and launcher.

Super great work! I really like this one. Are you just hand launching or do you have an extension of some sort?
