Sandpiper 18" Balsa Glider - 3 Flights

Having fun flying some of our best catapult launch gliders (CLG) outdoors. Longest flight was . Model: Undesignated (SP18 Class) Wing Span: 18 inches Weight: Date Built: Unknown Designer: Brad Williamson Flight: 11/6/16 @ 5:30pm Quick Links: 0:10 Flight #1 - 0:48 Flight #2 - 1:34 Flight #3 - Brad flies a Sandpiper 18“ model three times in calm weather with no thermals. Each flight is better than the previous one. Average flight time was 37.4 seconds. I’m getting better at making these. This one has a tighter turning radius than I prefer. Maybe I have a little too much tilt on my V-tail. I probably could get more height on this one if I tried harder. But, can I achieve a 1 minute flight without any thermals? The Williamson brothers have plans to build more gliders and post more flights. [Please comment, subscribe, and stay tuned!] Enjoy flight and enjoy life, my friends!
