    Amazing how far it goes on a hand toss (1:40). With a gentle high-start, could easily thermal from the pitch field on a nice day. Might even be able to slope soar a tree line.
    Nice views onboard, and of the sunburst. The sky was happy to see RESilience Glider take to the slope.

    Andrew, I knew there was something else I liked about you other than being a primo rc builder and flyer, the look of pure bliss on your kitties face sez it all. Beautiful kitty!

    My heart stopped twice during this video. First time I thought you were not far enough away from the fences and trees on the oval to launch it, as these planes will glide on and on and on. Second time was when you said the wind was curling around the Bluff, (typical of a SSE-SE wind). When you launched I could see the suppression of the plane, arrh. Top of the Bluff is the only Safe spot in these winds. Good recovery and wow what an excellent glider it is. You might be able to get a Tattu 450mah 2S in the nose, I use that in my Ballare and It takes away the "do i have enough battery" fear from the flights.

      I heard your voice in my head telling me about the SE that seems OK but isn't really there. Lucky landing although I did flatten the nose by a few mm.

    I told you weight would be no problem 🙂 - it'll get more sensitive and responsive when you take the excess nose weight off it and then it'll turn on a wingtip. Next you need a bungee for the flat calm days 👍

      Only 12mm opening and maybe 70mm length of battery space. Even one 18650 has no chance. I have a 4 x AAA which may squeeze in with some balsa carving.

    Bonjour Andrew
    Merci pour vos videos de construction et de vol du planeur Resilience.
    Je trouve ce planeur très joli et bien conçu.
    Je recherche un planeur Res F3L pour faire du vol de planeur. Peut-être avez vous fait voler ce planeur en plaine. Si oui est il maniable ? Connaissez le dièdre de l’aile ( EDA). Est ce qui porte bien?
    Merci pour votre expérience.
    Cordialement
