My latest vid, Alula

[djsp]

Here is my latest video, nothing brilliant but needed to just do one on the Alula. Wind was 0.5mph so nothing really to play with but it gives you the idea of how these things can fly, no added weights just built and flown

That looks amazing. Can't wait to try mine :o)

i want one to like the powered version too

Super Fantastic, Wonderful, Marvelous video, with a Brilliant intro

Hope that last bit didnt damage the <s>Alula!</s> sorry Camera!

[djsp]

lol, the CAMERA is fine thanks, rob was gutted at first but it is fine I have found a better way of rendering since this video so i the next one will be a bit smoother. We are hoping to get to the hills when we have a decent wind so we can try out some tricks and get them on the next video. get all of yours built and some videos on the tube, they are great fun and float for EVER!!
I look forward to your videos (for some ideas ) and to see your designs!

cheers.

Anyone any links to vids/info on a powered version.

I don't see the point in a powered version as they glide so well without. And adding a motor, esc, receiver and big batt just weighs it down and takes away a lot of it's elegance. The powered version you see in the video just would not fly. And after taking it all off, it didn't fly half as good as the others. You can see it on the video in some places flying quite eratic.

They also seem to catch thermals quite well too.

Some guy did one here http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthrea...96&page=65 but out of necessity. Still got to agree with Neptar, it is the completely wrong aircraft for this. I would have thought his necessity was really to buy the right aircraft, instead of butchering an excellent design. Complained he lives in Texas and no slopes (who would have thought :exclamation

A bit like living on a canal and buying a surf board, I suppose you could always bolt a motor to that as well

Designs..Humm Ill have to paint the amour plating now .. and the camera is going in the biggest tree I can find well out the way, I saw one get flattened on a you tube vid

Just read these last posts again and missed that there was a powered version in the above video, that went straight past me. I was hung up on the guy in Texas..

Umm.... Good Job whoever that was

Must remember to find my glasses
