I Crashed my 8 Foot RC Glider Plane!

Sometimes you have bad days flying RC planes and this was one of them. Thankfully everything in the RC Plane hobby can be repaired to fly again.

I can see why you said they are very relaxing in the summer, so graceful in the air.

Hi Steve....Great gliders. The Concendo would be my

[bobbylefebvre]

You look cold great information enjoy the week

[julianmclean]

Well well well!; another superb 'Eye opener" review Captain!; didn't know that this style of RC flight existed! (and love the concept)]; will be ordering the Volantex6c if its available (only because the pilot looks very cool - 80s hair style/ sunnys!!! and actually survived your crash !!!) looking forward to the next Captain Drone "surprise" review!!!!

Love your happy enthusiasm for the Hobby. There is no way I am going outside in 10°F to fly my drones.

[Friskee]

Always fun ta watch your flying adventures...

Excellent Video, and Excellent Gliders. Sorry Steve That You Crashed Your Glider. Thank You For Sharing.

You should make some of those landing pads to go in your shop. You’ve got your first customer here😄

[RamGen]

Captain Drone: I love that you don’t use exaggerated facial expressions in your video thumbnails that YouTube is full off.- until now. Please don’t. No arrows, red circles, funny faces, pointing fingers needed in video thumbnails. Your great content stands out on its own. THANKS!

Tail Heavy plane flies once. Nose heavy plane flies like crap.

Steve, loving your humor commenting on all the mishaps during Plane-week. Yesterday it was naughty EDF's, today a stubborn sailplane 😁 Keeping it totally honest 👍

[broctabor]

Thanks for the video I love realism and mistakes that everybody can make thanks guy for sharing

It's snowing here in England, snow in march for the first time since 2010, your a good drone flyer, as a glider pilot, you have much to be desired.

The ASW will soar for well over an hour in thermals. An ESTES rocket "Altimeter" can be placed in the glider to monitor your altitude. Very tiny and weighs hardly anything.

Good evening captain really cool review

[danwolfe]

Set up a drone to tow up a glider, I use to do that with a biplane years ago lot's of fun!!

[dondywondy]

Maybe you could use a good metal detector to find your 360 cameras when they come off in the snow! (Also you could maybe post a review video?)

[ifly]

Your Snow landing was from a 1970's movie...stock footage. Great videos!

[andrewdowson]

Loved the gliders but as soon as you said that you were going to put a camera on one wing there was only one outcome. Looked good on video though. Keep doing what you do we all love it.

Oh oh Steve! 🤕("Captain ALLROUND"!) I fly a similar glider (and drone) myself. The ASW28 crashed because you had a camera on the very outside of the wing and one on the tailplane. Then the center of gravity was no longer correct and the plane immediately began to spin. You should have put a counterweight on the right wing and a counterweight in the front of the cockpit because of the tail camera. That's why the CONCENDO flew flawlessly without the camera. Without a camera, the ASW28 would too, which should have better thermal properties than the Concendo.
Camera: The Thumb Pro 4K (which you introduced yourself) would be much lighter and produce good videos.
