Am I seein' things wrong or does that bird have a taste o' ANhedral?

Good Shot!
Br'er Ed,
I'm w/Eric on this; post all you've got! Even tho' I can't fly (yet!) I do get a thrill out of readin' about it from someone who knows what he's doin' AND can articulate it as well as you do.
Tnx for the few you have posted; I've read 'em…
Best o' luck!
Ron
So did you get th' Radian?
Excellent shot!
'Nother nice shot!
Nicely shot!
'Added a flic of the wingtip on my Electricus. It's patterned after the Hoerner tips on Cessnas. I have no idea whether it'll work or not; if not, I can always saw 'em off. But the idea was to prevent tip-stalls, jus' like the originals. A product o…
That's th' only sailplane I own... so far. 'Got more plans than I'll ever be able t' build an' steady addin to 'em.

- about me
- I'm 61, married to my BFF, and quite happy with that. I'm in recovery from a stroke (4.5 yrs ago) that cost me my R side, so my building is accomplished one-handed. And, at least so far, flying is out of the question for lack of proper coordination in the R hand. But I can't ride my GoldWing either, so it all evens out.

- The flight sim is very good for orientation issues and can prep you for the real thing. The Electricus looks like a fine plane and should be a good one to start with. If you have sailplanes in your sim, practice those so that you're not dependent on power and you can get used to things like tip stalling and the effects of the wind and thermal activity.

- Have you ever flown a pure sailplane? I flew power stuff and FF back when I was a kid and just got back into RC a couple years ago. Went straight to sailplanes and got hooked big time after I caught my first hour flight with a bunch of gulls. There's something about silent flight and the challenges involved dealing strictly with mother nature...I love it...

- I have the latest version which I got from eBay. Never used any other so I can't comment really... I find learning to fly the power planes very helpful. Especially the tutorials.

- hi HR, thanks for joining! sorry to hear about your stroke... although I can get out and fly, my health problems also limit my flying a lot and I am playing on the simulator also. hang in there. -Eric

- BTW, I have a buddy who had a series (4) of strokes in a 2 week span and it went undiagnosed until he could barely stand. It got his left side. It's been 2 years now and he's doing pretty damn good. Still not perfect control but every day he gets better. I'm sure you'll do just fine :).

- A good place to hang is the OBBBC group. A lot of guys from the RCGroups/sailplanes/Thermal/"I'm getting a woodie" thread are here.
