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.

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.
Vladimir,
"need a really BIG glide distance"
It has a glider wing and so.... glide distance. :) , may be air brakes will help. Why not use/try some thing in that direction?
Or add more weight/payload ? ( of course endurance will get effected :( )
About 5 hours @ 25 m/s I think...
Very nice looking airplane. So what do you think you can get for endurance? What is the cruising speed?
Nice! :)
Any Youtube's ?? :)
Yes, exactly like a Blanik
Nice motorized glider. Looks like a Blanik.
