What a cool bird. I have low-tail, T-Tail and a V-tail and i love them all. My biggest is a Epsilon XL3 4 meter glider. And then there is my Staufenbiel Mantis 2,9 meter - the V-tail glider. And the smallest is my Robbe Mistral 2 meter wingspan.
Very interesting video. I’m new to F5J, at present I don’t own one but I’m really getting into the videos you have put up and really enjoying them. I have sourced an RES V tail glider as a first step into thermal gliding. So first question and sorry for the newby ask but less down throw than up, is there an approximation on the offset for a V tail to give a starting point to have good turning of the glider. Thanks for your vids, and well done with the V tail exercise, it flies great. Regards, Bryan. Perth, Western Australia.
Nice work, nice maiden 🤘
It has superb, neutral spiral stability and that’s what’s needed for a winning design.

T-tails are awesome, they used to be common in 3m and larger contest sailplanes. Hope some designers bring them back for F5J.

🐨🌏 it's the way pilots fly that makes the difference . with a good plane. Keith Australia
How is it for someone who is getting into 4m carbon for the first time. Coming from a pulsar. Is it stable and forgiving?
Were Can I buy 1 in the USA?
X-Tail for me,,
Thanx for the Videos,What Plane to buy Im asking
Here in the UK I have an Eternity F5J on order, I'm super excited. Have to wait until Jan 2022 apparently.
