AWESOMENESS RIGHT THERE!

How about this...the Piatt County Airport has corn on two sides, big tall dense corn!

This sailplane was lost on the corn field and the new Blade Chroma quads with realtime video was able to locate it quickly (after a long foot search did not locate it).

i'm ready to show the Giant Scale Glider/Sailplane community some love! If I can move my trip dates I'll be there.

Seems really relaxing... the most fun I have had in a long time was with a DLG, I am thinking a nice tow to super high altitudes would be AWESOME!

We can do that!

BTW, the Multiplex Cularis is a fantastic flying, quick building, easy to repair sailplane to learn aerotowing. Everything you learn from it transfers to the giant scale birds.

Here is the tow release mechanism you will need to get as an extra item.

Cost is about $7.00. You will also need a short length of inner nyrod, 0.047" music wire (1/16" is too big), and an HS-82MG servo to operate it. Here is a picture of the setup, not the best pictures, but you should be able to get the idea.
