third flight of my T-2 paper and balsa plane. after the second flight, I repaired the wing, and added a little aileron to keep it flying strait. It gained some altitude, and flew right over the top of the mountain!
This is the second flight after I climbed a tree, and shook it down and did a small repair. The I moved the wing back to shift the CG forward of the lift surface. It flew much better this time.
This is the first flight of a T-2 paper and balsa plane I made. I'm throwing it off an out-cropping of rock on Ni Gu Mountain, Gyeong Sam Province, Korea. It didn't go well; the CG was too far forward. It landed in a tree and I had to climb up and shake it down
This was a wholly disappointing first and last flight of the smaller paper and T-1 balsa plane I put together. It flew well in the living room, but was obviously wasn't 'ready' to turn loose off the mountain! It was thrown off a mountain near Sacheon City, Gyeong Nam, Korea
