As the title says, I am new to unpowered flight of any kind... flown powered RC for a few years on and off and built a few multi-copters of varying types. Really fascinated by the whole technology and challenge of flying without a brushless motor to pull you up skywards. I spend a large amount of time on various simulators (Realflight 8, AeroflyRC, PicaSim, DCL and Velocidrone) and find myself flying the gliders more and more! I have a couple of Chinese foamy power gliders a BG Walrus and a Phoenix 2400 but they seem way below anything on here! I really like the idea of a DLG or slope plane I live very close to the coast so could find some possible site very close by. Does anyone have an opinion of the Dreamflight Alula seems like a good into the unpowered world or not? cheap... not fragile...simple https://www.hyperflight.co.uk/products.asp?code=DF-ALULA-TREK&name=dream-flight-alula-trek

Hello men, just introducing myself on BARCS. Name is Bruce, from Burnham on Sea, Somerset. I met a few of you at the Malvern contest in June where I saw F3k for the first time. Apart from a few times on the ridge at Crook Peak I have always flown alone, learning from Youtube etc. This year I have been playing with an Alula and a Libelle which opened my eyes to the potential, but then at Malvern, sadly taking advantage of a mans misfortune, I was able to acquire a badly damaged 'proper' dlg. Last time on the ridge, when my Libelle was a week old, it was smashed to smithereens in a midair while I was floating. Ho hum, I suppose luck goes in waves like everything else. I have a Frsky vario in the 'new' dlg, which is a Fireworks 4.2, and so far I have reached 37m on launch and a climb to 125m, about 11mins. I have a lot to learn but I would like to join in with the competition on 30th July if that's alright and all goes well. Anyway, I was dead impressed with what I saw at the Upton event and look forward to mucking in with it all. Now I need to get the hang of timers and tasks on the Taranis! Regards to all.
