Passer-X electric glider

[msc]

Well, I waited and waited for the end-of-year blast for some slope soaring, and am still waiting. On the few occasions that I was in BR over the past weeks, the wind was either weak, blowing in the wrong direction, or not sustained.

When I got an email on 50% offers, I jumped right in. With the splitting of shipping cost with other orders, I think this is one of the better "value for money" kind of electric glider.
The gliders arrived within 8 days after I made the order on-line. I took a few nights to assemble the servos and other electronics.

The Passer-X is a 1.8m electric glider, that we can fly anytime, except when it rains, of course. I did not start a build thread on this as the build was very easy. The only modifications I made was an additional servo for the V-tail. I include this so that I have Rudder controls.
I also modified the V-tail to be removable, for easy storage and transport. The V-tail is secured with a M3 screw on a wedge that I made from balsa and ply.

Ready to maiden this weekend, weather permitting.

Lookin' good, MSC. like an ehawk on steriods.

Wanting an easy Electric glider, I almost got the e-hawk 1500 couple of weeks ago at Rotor. But they do not have the color I wanted.

Yes, this is very similar to e-hawk, except that it is 1.8m and cheaper!

Good looking glider..

Went in and check, and the 50% offer has already ended.
Is really value for money.

Passer-X in carbon D box wing?

Hi MSC, long time! Merry Xmas! from your photos, the Passser X looks like it has a carbon D-Box wing, is that right?? Too good to be true!

[VinCopter]

Marry Xmas!
Ya... too good to be true.

Wah lao, I hope it to be true......carbon LE glider for less than S$100.
Anyway, I maiden it yesterday. This is really a light weight, stable glider.
Hand launched by Yi Ming, without any surprises, I needed a few clicks up to keep the nose up.
I think I made a mistake of selecting green color, as the visibility was very bad. Partly due to the mid-morning sun causing a silhouette on the model. On approach, when the glider was lower than the tree level in the background, I lost sight of the glider and had to pop it up with some power just to see if it is still flying.
Need to brighten the wings some what.

Landing was predictable, as it was a floater. I had 2 flights before I gave up on trying to spot the glider in the air.

A few folks in the field mistaken the Passer as an E-hawk......
