Glider with launcher v.2
Hi, here's a second version of my glider. It was already good and efficient; I ameliorated it.
I put a little paint job... It is around the same weight, but I ameliorated aerodynamics on the launcher (it was already much good on the glider), at the highest point I can do, so top speed is a little higher without changing the engine or add one (I tried with 2 engines and the top speed was the same that the one engine version, and it was heavier), I put the nearest I can the CoL, CoM and CoT (centralize all them), so the launcher can reach higher top speed on ground (around 30-40 mph more), and the glider keep a high speed longer.
Also, I put a little longer wings, and I put bigger the mobile surface for better control. I move the landing gear for a more stable flight, too.
I remember to you, the launcher always need to stay ground, at the end of the runway, you hit 1 for detach the glider... Enjoy the (better) flight... :-3

144 Lolivier@planesnthings Thanks! I'm actually doing tests for a flying (gliding) bomb; if you want another version of this glider I can do one...9.6 years ago
