Finally, we flew a latest plane - Primus III.
In one of test fly (engine stop in air) I set new personal glide record: distance 976 meters from 68 meters altitude.

Vladimir, I'm really sorry.
My mother language is Spanish and I just wanted to help.
How can I know that you have 30+ years of experience?
I will not help anyone again. I don't want to disturb people and It's not
nice to be missunderstood,
Alfred.
Dear Alfred.
I flew RC airplanes ( and sailplanes too ) for last +30 years. You really think I'm idiot and don't know what I need to do?
Anyway, thanks for suggestions. :))
With 1/3 throttle start to add deflection and feel if you need more. Use it when you're gliding for landing.
For take the off you can use very little also.
I pretty know theory, but in practice everything look bit differed. Where and when you try you suggested?
Flaps induce drag so that can help you to less distance landings.
Flaps? You sure? :)
Impressive glide record, good job.
Fantastic Start Vladimir,
I watched your blog while your were building it.
You need to put a person (yourself) next to it for scale, I think most do not understand how big it really is.
The final result came out as beautiful as it looked like it would be from your build pictures.
Dear Morli. :)
It' s glide like a glider when motor stopped. Where propeller rotate on idle speed, it's wonderfully brake a plane :)
Anyway, next time I make samething like a gliders brake on wing or on fuse.
About 5 hours @ 25 m/s I think...
