Well thank you, being a modeller for 40 years I have an insight, however, this is a new field which I’m studying very much before purchasing a top of the range glider. I’ll watch and absorb all your videos, you’re good at explaining yourself, your accent and grammar is perfect, I understand you far more clearly than Englishmen with heavily distorted local accents which sound to me deliberately created to confuse. Brilliant I’m grateful.
I understand that a plane will fly at one speed during to a too far forward Cg and be twitchy when too far back. Not sure you showed this. Also don’t you need to retrim when you move the Cg? Sure if you retrim when too far forward I expect the plane will want to fly one speed all the time and when too far back it will need more input to fly straight at the slightest air turbulence or smoothness changes.
Thanks for this explanation. I made a first flight with my DLG yesterday and I had to trim it a bit up (elevator 1mm up) so that glider is not pointing nose down constantly. Is this also because of CG (too ahead)?
Please can you explain me what glider f3k, its the best for windy conditions? Im living in one place its nealy every day wind arraund 10 to 20km/h. Thx
Last weekend i lost telemetry on radio and the glider fell down totaly vertical and crashed... Nose , canopy and fuse total destroyed. I was luky and the wings no have damage :-/
Nice to see you again on the field!! Take care in your spins, and i have always the c.g. on recomended position by the constructor of a glider. The are more expensive gliders for play and easy to brake ;-)

Marc Bueno no gliders are bad in wind but some need more ballast than others. Flitz 2 , vortex 3 and snipe work Well in wind at low weight
merci, tres interessant pour les débutants comme moi!
Excellent explanation!

Marc Bueno oh crap
which RC were you using?
Great video Poerre! These were some helpful tips! It's so nice that you're able to fly again.

Watched it till the end and am really glad that i'm able to get knowledge from you. As a beginner i need every bit of information :-D
