  • The guy launching needs to get a clue

  • that model did well to survive a failed launch like that !

  • @F3X001 is right. Hold the fuselage before the CG and with the other hand on the LE. See how stable the weathervane is. It is because the support is before the CG. The landing comes in too high/ slow. Whatever you do with the flap/brake, you are just inducing a tip stall or cartwheel. Try fly the glider way down the slope. Turn it back and let it floats back low and close to the landing spot. Turn it into the wind and deploy the brakes. A tap of down elevator at the final moment.

  • What's the song?

  • That's a Acacia 2 F3F model.

    A few things to learn from this video.

    1: The Acacia is one tough airplane.

    2. Don't ever throw by the boom or behind the CG. Use one hand under the wing and the other on the LE to stabilize it and push forward.

    3: Don't have a little wind sock on your antenna in 40mph winds!!

    Looks like they had a fun day in SUPER conditions!

  • O kako je lepo biti glup...

  • Pretty sure its a whisper. I have a blade and they both fly really well. Also, just a point or two, I don't know the shape of your slope but as I see the cars there I presume is flat on top so maybe you should have tried launching a bit further back off the slope and I don't think holding the right hand as far back down the fuz is a good idea. I saw the back flip coming before it even happened.

    Nice flight though. :)

  • Is that a Whisper?
