Kazu that was truly inspirering.The new glidelock is quick! Will you apply it on your slow hawk and Falcon-F5? If so, I will like to see their performance. G-lo

New GLDAB acted in FalconF5 well equally.
SlowHawk2 needs adjustment in order to fly. Now I am preparing it.

New programmed GLDAB was set on Cybird P2.

I will flight this Cybird soon.

Mr.Kazu the glide rate is good on the slow hawk as well!
I like the the effortlesness and the naturalness of the glide.
Will you apply the the glide madual to your new slow hawk? What color is your new slow hawk Mr.Kazu?
G-lo

Kazu, that green fabric really looks good. You can actually get a better glide if you lower the dihedral. If you drill and tap a new hole on the main gear for the ratchet pin just to the side of the current one I think you will see.

[Kinkade]

Bring your wing lock dihedral down to just a few degrees above the horizontal.

Dear Kinkade
Thank you. I lowered a fixed position of wings.

A postscript: Red SlowHawk3 arrived. Thank you. But, 2 years and six month were long.

I looked at your new gear system and Glide Lock system.
Your idea is splendid. But,the operation of your Glide Lock system is complicated.

I point out problems of this SlowHawk3 package.
1) There is not an operating manual of SlowHawk3.
2) A carbon plate for installation of the main wing does not fit a carbon plate of the body. It is hard that a beginner corrects this.
3) The right and the left gear were installed incorrectly. A right gear was installed to the left. A left gear was installed to the right. Therefore Glide Lock system did not act.
4) Specifications of ESC and Motor are not explained.
In a state of this package, beginner cannot assemble Slowhawk3.

Please improve it.

Mr.Kazu I was wondering,will you ever apply the the stainless steel gear on one of your slow hawks? Of so what is the weight for the steel gear for the slow hawk?

G-Lo thanks

G-Lo thanks

I use stainless steel gear in Bueo F4, Falcon F5 and Kestrel F6.
I do not use stainless steel gear in SlowHawk.
20-30g increase weight when stainless steel gear was used.

I set New GLDAB on Cybird P2.
New GLDAB act well.

Kazu,
Your program works well on my brushed motors . Precedently, I used the 1.3 version from Alain Bizot himself (tempo=0s), but it was necessary to add a 10 Kohms from +5v to pin 6, your version is more simple for the same result.

Hi, FrancisG
Thank you for a report of a good result.
GLDAB is a best device for gliding at present.
I wish for a good flight of your ornithopter.
