Hello Everyone,
First time posting here, I'm Fred. I've been an RC pilot for 15 years, mainly micro planes, and I'm currently starting my full scale journey.
My latest quick project was converting a Multiplex Mini Solius toy glider to an RC slope glider. Control is ailerons, and elevator; with 1.7g servos, and a 1g receiver. The elevator is controlled with a length of 0.6mm steel beading wire running through a tefflon tube hidden in the split fuselage. A 1mm carbon fiber rod is embedded in the wing. All up weight is 65g with a 1s 220mah battery.
The maiden flight was on Wednesday with 15-20mph winds head on a flood control dam near my house. By the time I stopped flying the winds were gusting over 30mph. Controls were responsive and the glider showed good habits, but severely lacked penetration. I definitely need to bring some modeling clay for ballast.
