  • Solius Motor Gliding Video

    It was beastly hot but very little wind so a few of our little clan called 3 Sheets 2 The Wind got together to fly. Not much in the way of thermals unfortunately but it was fun. I still have a hard time trying to land this thing. I always go too long. This doesn't sink very much in level flight and it's not a slow flyer. I'll get it eventually.... And thanks again Todd for the Solius suggestion!

    The end of this was really funny with me trying to land this thing because I'm always too fast or the thing just won't sink. Unfortunately something was wron...

    I've had my Solius for about a year now and it is the best motorized sailplane I have. 'Can't understand why you have trouble landing...just set up the spoilers (ailerons in up position) with some up elevator mixed in and it will sink, albeit a bit faster than a glide. You can also circle the plane to bleed off speed and altitude before setting up for a landing. I use both methods since I fly at a relatively small field.
