Massive glider cleaving the air apart!! Listen to it sing!

[jamesturncliff]

I used to live in Hope British Columbia and help them launch gliders from the airport there. Now I fly radio control gliders got screen with the airplane just gets in your veins still gives me goosebumps

You should see a real 25m Nimbus 3 do that at 130knts... The energy is amazing..

"Cleaving the air apart" is redundant. Impressive glider!

Hey Kenny, very cool indeed! Thumbs up and best regards!

[hrtbrk]

I've never heard this sound before. 👏🏻🧐

[JasperMulder]

Thought it was a fake video .. until I went full screen and could see the propeller on the nose. Was wandering how such little energy at start of video could achieve so much height. Cheating. LOL.

[paulballard]

Awesome video KFR!!! That was a fun event!!

Nice model of this good old DG! I wonder why he’s using gyro stabilization on the ailerons, that shouldn’t be needed and doesn’t make the flight characteristics look very authentic.

[ashhawk]

Is it just me.. or does a propeller pop out the front near the beginning and at the end?

[bentos]

sounds like a helicopter at one moment

[Themheals]

Imagine owning this an not being allowed to fly it higher than 400agl. Thanks canada

[farrider]

Elegantly steered and flown 🤩
(but me saw the prop 🤫)

[fordxbgtfalcon]

Is it towed up to hight with another rc aircraft? I would love to see that.

[vanpenguin]

But then in the close-up shot the cockpit is empty.
It needs an action figure waving at spectators.

[karlhawley]

they whistle when they're not clean, that's dragged 🤔😱😱

[acuriouseye]

Ends with glider heading off into the trees 🤔

[karlhawley]

if you want to fly higher than 400 ft put in for a waiver, and most likely you'll get it ✈️✈️✈️🤔🙋

[gqsfsij]

Probably best if that thing has luminous paint..

[Sanwizard]

Uh, gliders dont usually have engines

[ronliebermann]

I’m opposed to dangerously over-sized RC planes. But I’m curious.

Have they ever tried putting a rear-facing shotgun shell in the back of an RC plane? It would fire a burst of lead-powder as a form of thrust.
