Re: piggy backing a glider We did a few more flights with the cradle this fall. A little bit of negitive incedence did help the pitching up issue but I think next time I would make the cradle a fair bit shorter. That would help too. The quality of this video is a bit better but we still have lots of room to improve. |

Re: piggy backing a glider Dale, like the mouse that just came up from the wine cellar said "Now bring on the cats!" Anytime buddy!  Jean, yes it pitches up more than I expected as you can see in the video. On the second try I was ready for it & we had a nice smooth climb out. Didn't get to experiment with incedence changes or C of G changes as the wind was coming up & the fingers were getting cold. Climb rate would be better without the floats but we were at release height in about 20 seconds. E Flight Power 15, 11 X 5.5 on 4 cells. |

Re: piggy backing a glider Well since I started this tread a while back I have seen alot of interest and alot of good ideas.. so I thought I would pitch in my own now.. currently the airframe is under reconstruction and in the thread " what is on your workbench" so I can't duplicate it here.. but once the reconstruction is done and the work on the cradle and the glider starts then I will be moving it over here.. jeff |

Re: piggy backing a glider It works guys! Had 2 flights this morning as the wind was gaining steam. First flight was captured on an i phone & the video is on youtube. Sorry about the quality, it's a bit hard to see the release! Second flight was better but we missed the release competely! Calm on the ground but the wind was pretty stiff starting at about 2 poles high. |

Re: piggy backing a glider Thanks Jean! Yes I have been thinking about that. We made it a bit higher for clearance on the larger gliders with deeper fuselages. I have also been thinking that to counter the pitching issue maybe move the glider ahead to shift the C of G forward? We will see... |
