Time to bring out the 20 year old Algebra. Two channel rudder / elevator model 120'' wing span and as light as a feather. Jack is seen here flying his Gentle Lady which is very similar to my Algebra.
With no airbrakes or ailerons on these gliders it can make the landings a little tricky as they float and float just when you want them to sink and land.
I am a big fan of large floaty gliders as they are gentle and slow to fly and show you exactly where the lift is when you find it of course....
This type of glider is plan built from a kit but there are modern equivalents available. I keep hassling Rob to buy the Seagull Pilatus. This has Ailerons and airbrakes and would make an Ideal low wind slope soarer and sold for a bargain price of £139.00 plus carriage on Ebay.
Hi Paul, I notice I was there in the background, but don't remember that day for some reason. I might well get the Seagull Pilatus just to shut you up.
ReplyDeleteIt's you old age Rob. You don't remember what happened last week let alone 9 months ago!!
