Old Goldberg Eagle 63 trainer towing a $7 foam toy glider with a camera on the glider. We had to hand launch the glider. It rolled like crazy unless I flew really slow. I had a servo to release the glider, I did and it went straight down! Any ideas on controlling spin?

  • The reason the cam glider is rolling is probably the spiraling slipstream from the prop.

    A larger glider with more dihedral would probably help.

  • oh wow man! that is very smart! I should do that! now to get a more powerful plane...

  • Yes, the tow line is much too short.

  • Convert the foamie to Rc so it can be controlled and to release the tow line as it does not help the glider CG.

  • Tow line too short!

  • that was awesome although the camera pulled the glider to terra firma pretty fast!

  • Chase plane view, very cool.
