    Red20RC - New Australian website for building, flying and crashing!

    G'day :D I couldn't think of anywhere else in the forum to put this so I put it here (as it is sort of a service - albeit a free one). We've just launched a new website for building, flying and crashing FT style models and other electrics and gliders. We're interested in sharing stories, wins...

    Boat Chase with RC Glider - Phoenix 2000

    Hey Guys, I am new to the forum and relatively new to the hobby. I have flitetest to thank for helping me ease into it without making everything so overwhelming. I have been flying my Phoenix 2000 glider for about 3 months now and I love it. I decided to try something different and try to chase...

    Slope soaring flying wing or Discus launch flying wing.

    I suspect that you can take your new flying wing design and build it without a motor. To get the center of gravity right and to get some penetration you could keep the larger battery needed for the motor, and even the speed control in order to power your reciever and servos.

    Modular/Swappable glider platform

    Over the past few months, I've been messing with gliders. It all started when I discovered that I could thermal with my Old Fogey swappable. I found the Mini-ELF DLG and figured something like that (2-channels, lots of dihedral, small) would be good for me to start with. Like anything I now...

    Rocket Launched Powered FPV Glider!

    Here's a video I made on Tuesday when we had unusually nice weather in the Pennsylvania/Ohio area. It's my 8.5 foot wingspan Queen Bee flying wing and my 10.5 foot wingspan ASW-19 glider with motor pod (both planes powered by Turnigy) and my scratch-built Hammer 3D-2 (a bit different than the...
