Reaching 200m challenge - 1.5m DIY DLG
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2022
- I thought that the weather conditions were very favorable for a little thermal flight, so I went to the nearby park, where with the first throw I succeeded in a 5-minute thermal flight with a peak height of 64m. I thought it was time to take this situation a little more seriously. And then the thought came, I want to reach a flight height of over 200m.

Mission accomplished 👏👏👏👏👏 They go up fast when in the thermal don't they 😲 I could hear the altimeter announcements 👍 When you were stood near the camera, the angle made you look like you were leaning forward like 'Michael Jackson in Smooth Criminal' 😎
Thank you fot Your nice comment! Yes, up there around 100 m I experienced fluctuations of 20 m in a few seconds. I think there is such a rise as 3m/sec. I do not think that my altimeter works well, so I tested it. 😁But the weather was extremelly suitable for this.
Haha, I'm really standing there like the dancers in that clip. Very good analogy! 👏👏
@@goldenfish77 I use the same receivers (GRX6, GRX8 and Archer GR6) and I find I have to reset telemetry from the transmitter frequently so it starts at zero metres again
Awesome dude! You’ve gotten a lot of flying out of that model.
Thank You Daniel! I only have this 1.5 meter glider and it seems that I really like flying it. It's almost unsettling when there's something to fix and it's not available at all times. I wonder how You'll feel when you fire up the Longshot 4 for the first time. OMG, I can't wait to see how it affects you and let me know what You experience.
Awesome - you are setting the bar higher again - challenge accepted
Thank Your nice comment! But I think that I just can recognize the good time for a nice thermal bath. 😊 Although I would like to see a similar maneuver from You. Your BAMFzilla is a really great glider. I wish I could be lucky enough to do something like that.
@@goldenfish77 @300g your flights are amazing - I think you have a nice foil - for moulded gliders buy a second hand one - all you need is a good wing - the rest you can build!
I have not flown about 20deg C - can't wait!
@@bracesport Thank You! Could you tell me a site where I could found some secondhand DLG? I am sorry but I do not understand that 20deg C. You have not flown in 20deg C temperature yet?
I have not flown the DLG when the temp is above 20deg C - looking forward to it!
Hi Peter! Did you reach 200 meters altitude?!! Wow!!
Hi (I do not know Your name, execuse me...what is Your name?), thank You! Yes, the highest altitude was 234m. I am very curious for Your F5J glider, I think its building time is so much.
@@goldenfish77 Hi Peter. My name is Raphael. Yes it's taking a longo time to think of what would be the most apropriate tecnickes and materials to build the F5J. It's all new for me.
@@rapharigoti So far, your work looks very promising to me. I have all the credit for your build. 👍
