BF2 Maiden

Managed to maiden my BF2.....with a light power setup 3s 2200mah with MVVS redliner motor.
It perform very well for my flying, the profile is sleek and cut through the air very well.
it thermal very well in the air as you can see that I spend lots of time high up in the sky while some low pass and "stall turn"...
With this light setup, it stay up long and fast, while coming to line cutting power it still goes two rounds and still come with decent speed without stalling. Once the flap deploy it just slow down immediately and land.

The 3 piece wing is going to make this my favorite glider......time to consider selling one of my others glider...( which one )

Jonathan,

How many KW is going into this baby?

Had a Kira 600 but that will wait as I start slow with just a redliner.
My skill is not there to go high.

Sloping is fun.



"There is a will....there is a way "...... after 3 days of visiting and waiting without success.....yesterday afternoon finally got lucky with strong winds and manage to finally maiden my Prodij. Thanks Vincent for helping with tool as I hard hard landing and stripe the nylon nuts and have to replace it. But nothing is going to stop me .... and thanks to the buddies there for their support....finally got it up for a few flights....

Thank Vincent for the video, warning it is low res as it is a sms transfer to me, but it will do. Also shows that the slope season is coming really soon.....

uncle, no la

just wondering

you do like to do stunts and push the limits

thank you for benefiting the local rc community! =)

[JYZoom]

can I check uncle jy

your 'white out' names of your gliders in your signature are those that you crashed and deceased, is it...?

Bro Bro........my flying skill is not so bad la....
Only Taser and Dart-E is dead....the rest are sold at a very attractive price that benefit the local RC community and also help fund new project for me.
As Adrain said I have a track record of keeping my fleet thin.

so look out for some glider on sales once I have chance to test fly them.

whoitejoy,

it started that I got bored with heli as cannot improve my flying skill I tried fast plane and didn;t like it as it keep moving while heli I am able to pause when i want it without landing. Glider proof to be good as I can slow it down and make it move similar to heli.

Then iike the way I can thermal the glider high up in the sky and more recently sloping without high power plant.

And one other factors is I don;t see any new exicting helis to buy anymore.. And those composite glider look so sleek...
