Did some gliding (sailplane)  in Oz, loved it - had a weird idea to make a model one, but like nothing which exists now, and should get about 25% more distance...

 

In the midst of making it, carbon fibre, 3D printing etc.... 

 

BUT.... will need to test.  Looking for a grassy slope for testing  - void of people and trees ....  ie 1:10 ratio as glider I expect to be about 1:60 glide ratio.

 

does anyone know where to find such a slope  - within 2hrs drive from Bangkok ?

 

Thanks 

 

A bit of fun, night crash and burn but had fun doing it. Taught myself Fusion 360 from scratch, and learning to print delicate parts taken lots of trial and error.
