Angelwing Designs Micro Gentle Lady RC Thermal Glider - I Get Into A Thermal - 3rd September 2021

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

2:50 hooked a good one. Couple hundred feet from that thermal.

That was great Carl to see it climbing on the thermal, up up and away 😄👍

[@RCSoaringUK]

Thanks Ian. It's proving to become a obsession to find a thermal 😬

[@IansRCExploits]

Well you found it today 🌪😄👍

[@punkworkschannel]

This sailplane is such a good design it seems to fly great at different sizes. This is the smallest version I've seen. Very cool!

[@RCSoaringUK]

Out of all of the 2m gliders of the past, it seems the Gentle Lady is the highly regarded design. This 30" version is kitted by Angelwing Designs: www.angelwingdesigns.co.uk/products/micro-gentle-lady

Thanks! 👍

Hi Carl I'd call that an absolute success, grateful for sharing with us 👍👍🤗🤗👏👏 regards from Alan in South Yorkshire

[@RCSoaringUK]

Thanks Alan 👍 I really thought the conditions were too turbulent for these little gliders, but they put on a really good performance 😎

[@loftbuckleyrc]

Excellent flight!

[@crashrr2993]

Those are the moments that make it all worthwhile!👍🛫

[@RCSoaringUK]

They certainly are 👍

[@geordienufc3132]

Nice flight

[@RCSoaringUK]

Thanks. I was surprised. I thought it would be too breezy.

[@DanielWiley]

Great Flight!

[@RCSoaringUK]

Thanks. It was great fun flying the little Gentle Lady that day 😁

[@RcAircraft]

That was great Carl the longest flight you have had with that on a flat field. 👍😁 Well done.

[@RCSoaringUK]

Thanks Stephen. Longer flights will become possible if it wasn't so breezy blowing the little glider downwind or I learn the skill of hopping from one thermal to another - but I happy just catching just one thermal 😀

[@markod1977]

Simply Beautiful!!!

[@goldenfish77]

Awesome thermal catching and flight!👍 I like this launch technic for these light weight gliders.

[@RCSoaringUK]

Thanks. These little gliders are between 75-80cm (30-31") wingspan and weigh under 50g (1.75 ounces). I'll be doing lots more hi-start launching, including some of my larger gliders....

[@goldenfish77]

@@RCSoaringUK I see they are very light, so they have to launch with this technic.

[@kev4354]

Wow! that was Great

[@RCSoaringUK]

Thanks Kev. Goes to show you don't need a massive sailplane to enjoy a little thermal soaring 👍

[@stv1_channel]

Superb job 🔥🔥

[@RCSoaringUK]

Thank you so much 😊 These little 'Angelwing Designs' gliders are great 👍

[@nilremlaura]
