Re: indoor Glider
That's awesome. How long do you fly on a toss? Did you scratch build it? How much does it weigh? Sorry for all the questions!
 thanks

Re: indoor Glider
AUW is 4.5 oz, and its a Alula kit from Richter Rc http://www.dream-flight.com/index.html also the flight pack he sells are great,, micro full range rx, and the smallest servos iv seen, with 20oz torqe,, the alula is a side arm launch glider, but does great on light slopes, its a challege to fly mostly because the flight times vary depend on skill and a bit of luck, haha, heres a pic of the SAL woohoo a place to put these pics now!!, oh it also slopes vans, buildings, LOWes store wall , haha, very fun! if you gotto www.lavawing.com and scroll down to the pop fly vid, shows more

Re: indoor Glider
Probably because the balance is off. the alula is extreamly sensitive to cg just a couple millimeters off, and it gets weird

Re: indoor Glider
do you have one??? planks are crazy sensitive to cg yes. but fine tuning for the conditions will always be needed, with any glider, before i snaped the pod of my lula it was flying great a touch of trim here and therer to adjust for heavy wind,, but thats it , its a great flying machine!
