Jon,

These gliders are pretty sensitive to CG. Just get some "small" lead weights handy to balance it out. If you need help we're usually at Sengkang on Sat morning.

BTW, what's the AUW for the miniQ?

[JYZoom]

Pang, noted with thanks. Yup I was getting 15m initially and at the end getting up to 20m.
Sherchoo, I wish I get 1min , at best I am only getting 20+sec up yesterday in a clam weather.

Spend some time and got the tail fixed properly, let see how different it fly now.

Jon,

It's difficult to comment on just chart alone as there are many factors involved like technique, plane settings, environment etc. Graph alone tells very little. But for a beginer you're getting 20m launches, catching some thermals and maintaining 1 min flights is quite a good start. So answering your question.... not far off at all.

[Pang]

Hitting 20m+ on a 1m dlg is pretty good.

On the blasters (1.5m), we started with only mid 20s height.

The launches will get better with more practice.

[JYZoom]

How is this.

Give me some feedback as I don;t have any baseline.

Did some arm exercise earlier today....is this far off the mark for beginner ?

[JYZoom]

the fin and the horizontal stabiliser is a little too far apart ah?

not just too far, I have it the wrong way.

Dlg is addictive, once you start throwing , you want throw some more.
