I bought one of these after watching this video over a year ago. Today I'm taking my gopros and airplanes to the field. Hopefully I can record something worth posting. Thanks for the good videos.

Just bought two of these, second-hand, one almost new. I had no idea what I was buying but delighted that I've got something that pilots appear to enjoy. My rc starts as soon as the rest arrives...

AWESOME MAIDEN!!!! I can tell you have lots experience with that model. Awesome build job. Now for the icing on the cake. New MG Tail Servo and New EPO Custom Elongated Control Surfaces.

Thank a lot Brian
And thank to your wife, very good at the video.
I‘ve bought one ...
... Waiting less wind in Brittany.

Awesome job on the plane Brian. I haven't watched it all yet but picked up lots of great tips so far. Thanks again for doing this build series.
The only problem I've ever had with mine is when I trimmed in to much up elevator in flight. On my next launch it went vertical and stalled. So I always check my elevator is level now before launch.
If you have the CG right then you don't need much uptrim. Of course I mainly slope soar so can get away with a small battery for good CG. 1500 3 cell at the moment. I have a 1300 I'm going to try next. This is for reference for anyone reading this by the way. I know you already have experience with this plane.
I'm going to go and paint my prop white now. Looks great.

Pilot is not a novice. Looks very cool!

[RamyRC]

great video Brian, I like the setup on that glider

Hi Brian mine I took out the wheel put a plywood patch in its place 2200 amp 4 s 60 c lipo to get the CG right push the lipo back further 12x6.5 folding prop, now to balance the wings, then my maiden happy landings from Perth Western AUSTRALIA.

I love the wing flex, when you do fast turns, you can just feel the G forces!

Hi Brian, ArxangelRC has reported that on his ASW28 there was not enough epoxy between the fin and the plastic horizontal stab mount, and the fin and the plastic piece that is fixed to the fuselage. Happily the failures happened on landing, but he also had a camera on the fin which increased the mass and the stress to the tailpieces. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

Turned out super nice Brian, wow you really get a grip of how long that wing span really is 😮 ultra nice mods ! Great craftsmanship

[keithshillbillyrcn]

Awesome plane . The master of mods with another great plane . Yes that's the same type set up. Thanks for the help. I called support line at horizonhobby . Tech help always useful. Just wanted it to be right . Sorry that my discripion wasn't to good

[toddedson]

Well done I always enjoy your videos enjoyable to watch and very informative thank you

The model has been sold for years with the same two design flaws, but they are very easy to correct.
1. Glue 30 g of lead on the end of the fuselage and the vertical stabilizer, which is very easy in the hull without being seen from the outside.
2. The EWD is improper and needs to be raised to place the stabilizer on the back edge with 0.8 to 1 mm thick paper.
3. With a 3S 1500 mAh battery or with 2 3S 1500 mAh batteries connected in parallel, it is now possible to fly without changing the center of gravity. The second battery is simply pushed exactly between the wings, focusing on the upper board, which guarantees a minimum flight time of 25 minutes and almost always with a low thermal of at least 35 minutes - do not worry, the battery will not slip during the flight!
After the correction you will get a superbly flying model that can compete with much more expensive models as it is usually lighter.
The model is also suitable for easy aerobatics and although the surfaces sag unbelievably, I have not yet managed to destroy it in the air. I'm thinking about making the wings shiny, but this is definitely not necessary and colorful so I can see the model better.

Just got this bird and looking forward to it. Great vid and quality.

[royramdeen]

Brain you are incredible on those controls, totally enjoyed your video. Well done :-)

[rcky_mtn_high]

you should try opening your servos and treating them with corrosion-x. It will help a lot in those conditions when a little snow gets into the darndest places.

[weavostigercat]

Great maiden Brian , thought it would be . 8-)

[caesarillion]

Awsome demo Bro. I just got mine and will be looking for slopes where I can stay up an hour
on the wave lift. I am also cleaning up the airfoil with tape and sharper trailing edges. Thanks, Paul in Thailand.

[GinoLaurita]

Hi Brian, did you change anything for the CG?
I see a normal setup in your ASW28 with LiPo en pilot on the right place.
In my situation and with the same setup I get a heavy nose.
Do you use a receiver with stabilisation?
