FYI - Daniel Petcu is a World Champion F1E flier. F1E is the FF slope soaring event. He also supplies built F1E's and they come with instructions done in a humorous, comic book style :)

That is just outstanding he really knows how to trim airplanes. Aerodynamically  there is lots going on between the two planes quite a accomplishment. Great job.

I think I got the biggest kick out of the high start launched tethered glider flights. He may have invented a whole new modeling genre...indoor RTP free flight glider.

Next up, rubber band Ringmaster combat?

So far amazing stuff! I love it. I wish he would show some closer detail views of the pylon, models, stooge and things.
Think S.M.A.L.L. y'all and, it's all good, CL, FF and RC!
