I moved on t' me 1/2A Glider Duration contest entry. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! This bein' a non Pink Book contest, arrr, I could legally use a flexwin' glider, so I flew me Uff Da. Avast! Blimey! Last time I flew it t' glider (henceforth Uff Da Glider A) flew straight east into t' trees and be never seen again. So this past week I made two new gliders. Blimey! Blimey! I selected one (Uff Da Glider B) for this flight and opted for a 1/4A motor.
Boost be good and so was ejection, but thar was some sticky glue residue on t' glider and it didn’t open fully. It sort o' glided, but nay very well.
