Vintage RC Gliding. 1939 78'' Carl Goldberg Sailplane
The original 1939 design was for a powered free flight model. I used a Belair Models part-kit and changed the fuselage design to extend the nose into a pure glider. The overall shape of the rear fuselage is the same but the internal structure is new. Moving control surfaces etc have been added and the wing straightened. Overall weight came out just under 1kg. The maiden flight was in just 1-3 mph of breeze.
No RC plane is safe around Test-pilot Tim (grab your popcorn) and in this video you get 8 minutes of uncut nitro terror as he hurls the Kyosho Calmato around the sky in an attempt to break it
