Rick and Mark were the dogs to beat, but both decided to run left, the rest got to see their ride down, as in not just down wind, so peeled off to the right, to catch the big one for maxes.

[RCSE] 30 minute first flight on my new Cularis by Hitec/MPX)
Hi guys, I flew my Cularis today off my winch. Good air day. Like a good little instruction follower, I balanced it on the dots. I gave it a gentle hand toss and as expected, DOINK about 15' in front of me. All I had for nose weight is a 4cell 1250 sub C pack with the cells standing upright beside each other in a row. It was all the way up against theplastic motor mount cup. Once balanced it is now all the way back against the foam cross piece just in front of the servos. The model balances at 4 measured from the trailing edge of the wing, 1 behind the dots. I'm working on my Silver Level Canadian Soaring Task, which asks for 6 30min thermal flights (witnessed). So I decided what the heck, might as well take one down with the Cularis. Most of the flight it was impossible to see the model, blue skies with high thin clouds, and she was up at about 1200' (I know because I have a Picolario talking altimeter) for most of the flight. I have 3/8 full span camber programmed in for thermaling, that bends back to about 3/16 in the air, but worked well...and the usual rudder to aileron mix, camber pump with elevator and as is normal most of the thermaling was done with 80% rudder stick and a bit of up trim elevator...along with the camber. I'll admit I'm surprised it launches well with the all the glass rods replaced with carbon or carbon tubes...and she flies as well as a Spirit Elite 100. The landing flaps are functional too. Very nice piece of foam. I made the tips and ruder and nose cone tape-ons, so that it all fits in the box for storage...likely mine will sit in the rafters for the next few years, but it was a fun project and excellent flying model. Definitely worth the money and for a newbie to the hobby of soaring, easy to build, durable and fun to fly too. Also worth the money for someone who wants a scale looking slope ship! Full house, full flying stab, the wings snap in and the servos plug themselves in too! You can paint it with Krylon if you like by the way.

Re: [RCSE] 30 minute first flight on my new Cularis by Hitec/MPX)
AJ, On the Easy Glider you need to make a new tow hook. Most common way is to drill a 3/8 hole at the very rear end of the existing tow hook tray. Glue in a 3/8 x 1 1/2 dowel and thread a tow hook into that. It will launch steeper in the new configuration. JE -- Erickson Architects John R.

Re: [RCSE] 30 minute first flight on my new Cularis by Hitec/MPX)
Many members of the Charles River Radio Controllers have purchased Easy Gliders. This year, we will hold our second annual man-on-man Easy Glider contest. The gliders are winch launched. A standard modification of the basic Easy Glider is to replace the supplied fiberglass wing rod with a carbon fiber tube. With his tube, the gliders can take a full-pedal winch launch with a nice zoom at the end. Our experience has been that the CG in the plans is right on. The reason for poor launches is the position of the tow hook. The most important modification is to move the tow hook back. We have found that a position at the rear end of the tow-hook well is about right for a steep launch. The usual approach is to use a cup hook. The hook from the hardware store is bent into a right angle and screwed into a piece of wood embed into the bottom of the plane. -Dick AJ Bhatta wrote: Good to know.

Re: [RCSE] 30 minute first flight on my new Cularis by Hitec/MPX)
The plastic tube for the Easy Glider antenna runs down the center of the fuselage. If you drill too deeply, you will drill right through that tube. I think that a 1.5-in.-long dowel is too long. I recommend a large-diameter dowel glued in as deeply as you can without severing the antenna tube. -Dick John Erickson wrote: AJ, On the Easy Glider you need to make a new tow hook.

We launch EG off the winch all the time. Actually it makes a great training plane for the winch. With the standard hook and the standard wing rod, you can step on the pedal and go full bore. The launch angle is low but you get a wicked zoom! I don't know anyone in our club who has replaced the wing rod, but several have moved the tow hook back and are tapping the plane up in a fashion similar to a 2M woody. Have not seen a broken wing rod yet. I imagine you could also slip a birch dowel into the standard wing rod to make it stronger. It would increase the weight a little but I don't think it would be detrimental. I do that with a steel rod for ballast purposes.

Re: [RCSE] 30 minute first flight on my new Cularis by Hitec/MPX)
We Have 19 EZG's called Beer Coolers here GDSHS. Use a carbon rod inside of the f'/glass wing rod for stiffness. Better than a birch dowel. Cut off the orig hook, mill or grind down the hook base to make it thinner and glue on a 1/8 ply plate for a new hook base and locate the hook at 3.00 behind the wing L/E. Same location as the C/G.

You can achieve additional wing stiffening by applying a strip of Gorilla Tape to the underside of the wing. The tape is wide enough to cover the seams of the foam piece that covers the rod and is also black in color. Jim Deck RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
