Skorpion F3F - Bungee and Low Pass

Nice mid-winter day with 19° C in the sun and some good thermals. Two bungee launches and one overshoot with the Skorpion F3F glider.

bro,

where u place the hook under fuselage? few milimeters from CG point?

@harun78rcsoaring This is a standard Skorpion F3F, 2120g only. You can launch with the CG hook, but this can be dangerous because the glider rears up and stalls. So better use a hook extension (look @video "Hurricane on bungee") or a nose hook. With a bungee you should just accelarate. After release you pull up to convert the energy to height.

bro,

where to buy online that EMC vega megarubber? how long you pull the rubber to launch the skorpion? i got i composite vento 3m wingspan..i think both are at same weight bout 4kg without ballast?

@harun78rcsoaring: you can buy it online on www_emc-vega_de. I extend the rubber (7m rubber + 5m rope) to about 30-35m taking care not to rip it up. my f3b planes have around 2-3kg, so maybe the next stronger one is a better choice for you. but take care, that your wings can handle the acceleration and the pulling up after release.

nice great bungee launch. what type of rubber u used? is it diameter 0.8mm? single rubber or double rubber line?

[gliderpilotmp]

@@harun78rcsoaring: I am always using a single 7.35m EMC-Vega Megarubber "Bungee" set (not F3B!), 4.8-12.8mm, 600% expansion, easy to use.
