HK ASW28 EPO E-Glider | Crash & Flight

The ASW28 is powered by a Turnigy nano-tech 1300mah 2S 25~50C Lipo Pack.

The wind was a little to much, a little to gusty & a little to turbulent to have a really nice flight. Ray was at the video recorder so we can show you some footage.

Excellent video! How do you like the glider so far? also what battery are you using and what type of flight time are you getting? Thanks I subbed!

I made the most flying hrs with the ASW in 2011 so I think I like to fly it very much. Stuff could be better on the model and I do not seem to bother about it to much. I use NanoTech 2S 1300MAh. My record is a flight over 70 minutes on a well thermal day. Without thermals the fight times are shorter. Do not know how much shorter :)

On my Blog I have some ASW info too!

Thanks for subscribing!

Happy Flying

@HBFPV2 Thank you very much! What glider would you recommend? I really like the way this one looks and HK has all parts so I am planning on purchasing this one. Also was this the plug-n-play version or did you put your own electronics in it? Thanks very much, I am new to the hobby and loving it!

@javamochacocoa

What Glider would I recommend? That all depends on what you wanna do with it and your skills. The ASW is not a real thermal hunter, however when thermals are around she can stay up quite long. The ASW flies rather slow so if you like a fast glider the ASW will be to slow. If it is your first plane I think a plane like a Bixler will provide more fun. Etc, etc, etc.

So let me know what you wanna do with a glider and I will have a look for a fitting plane :)

Thanks for the response, I noticed yours were orange so I thought you might have added some kind of rubberized spray or something to stiften them up. I partially taped them but might take it off and add some carbon sparring and retaping them. They just seem so thin and flexible.

Today I was in the air for more then 70 minutes non stop. So I gues the tips are just fine ;)

The great thing about this hobby is that we all add-on things to our birds, you tape, me paint. And we have great fun with it :)

Happy Flying

@HBFPV2 I would love to be able to stay up for long amounts of time and I am reletively new to the hobby but I think I am doing well as my first rc plane was a corsair. Either or, probably a little bit on the faster side though and I would like to find one that looks scale. That's why I really like this one so far. Thanks

Need to proof read before I post lol

@dirtnapper73

My wing tips are original. They are thin and less fragile as I thought.

On RCGroups I did read of some one applying tape to the tips.

Not sure if it was packing tape or glass fiber tape.

As long as you land oke I do not see any reason to apply something to the tips.

Maybe when you are a beginner, tape can be a help.

Use hot/boiling water to get dents out of the foam. Watch out for electronics :)

Happy Flying

Did you use something to strengthen the wing tips? They seem really fragile and I want to make them more durable. Any tips?
