BAD ASS gliders
After flying all sorts of RC planes and really a lot of 3D the glider bug finally bit me.
I was lucky to get a good deal on a 45% scale DG 1000 from Paritech. Like most rc addicts I am never happy untill the plane is fully pimped out with all the bells and whistles. SO for those few here on FG interested in Gliders I will do a tread on my progress. I plan to convert the SLS (self launch system) to turbine. Enjoy |

Re: BAD ASS gliders
Some videos of Pete Goldsmith doing some nice aerobatic flying with a 6 meter
The second video is a cs Kunstofftechnic glider built by christian Schauburger. They get up to 295 km/h in a dive. I recieved one of his kits and will start it after the DG 1000 Enjoy &feature=fvw |

Re: BAD ASS gliders
 If your gonna shell out that much dough(over $3000.00)something as simple as correct dihedral should be engineered into the model!Their DG1000 does however have the correct proportions(the one Bushman owns) I too will be ordering the 1000. It too will be set up to accept a turbine. I will initially be aerotowing it. Here's a video of Jesus Bardolet flying his Paritech turbine powered DG1000.
