FMS ASW 17 - 'Singing in the rain'

Such a good glider, even in the wet conditions as the rain started to fall during the flight. Multiple camera angles using the Action 4 & Go 2 equipment. Enjoy the beach & overcast conditions.

    Thoroughly enjoyed that flight, Noel. There's something about motor gliders and the way they float about that evokes the strongest feelings of exhilaration I'd get as a child watching my model gliders performing the seemingly impossible magic of flight. Thanks!

    Hi Gina, yes you are so right. Very relaxing and the Asw just floats on & on. A glider would be good for your property… especially the Umx Conscendo.

    Yes that power glider & the Swift from Xfly are great models Jay. I just ordered the umx Conscendo that i can program spoilerons as it has no flaps.

    Very neat glider Noel. I've never flown or seen one of those. Great footage in the overcast conditions. Interesting how different things look as the light changes.

    Hello my friend, it looks like a hand launch is really easy. I think it’s really cool. I didn’t think you guys ever get bad weather I have never seen a cloudy day on your channel, it’s always so sunny it seems. Anyway here we’re getting snow today, as always thumbs up

    Hi Don, snow again!! We needed the rain badly. I dodged the rain yesterday afternoon & under cloud, maiden’d the Decathlon. Such a great aircraft & used 8 camera locations on it. Many thanks for watching the ASW. Wonderful glider!

    Beautiful flight! But, in case you didn’t notice, only one flap was working. Didn’t appear to be a problem though.

    Such a nice glider! What do you use to attach cameras to your airplanes? I'm trying to avoid velcro but not sure if there's a better option.

    G’day A.M. i use 3m double sided tape & replace a new piece each time i move the camera. Make sure you use a piece of clear tape on the painted areas otherwise removing the 3M tape may lift the paint or transfer. The clear tape should not effect the look as invisible but just apply some warm water on a tissue over the clear tape & leave fir a little while, then the tape should lift off.

    Tu m'épates de parler en français. Mny thks for this .❤!!! Take care of you. Viva Austria. Try to fly with Lipo backyard. Still noze heavy. If you land on dry grass, you could break your wheel gear... Like me, few months ago.😂 ASW 17 is a very very nice glider. And so graceful in flight. Congratulations !
