    G-1a "Adder" manned glider concept

    lookin for lessons and a good R/C trainer :) and the gliders, you';re in the cockpit with an instructor right? and does it have a control system in the front and back seat so that you can fly the glider from the backseat aswell?

    G-1a "Adder" manned glider concept

    thank you all! I have decided to go take glider lessons as Topaz said. and about the R/C stuff, I think that could be VERY helpful :D (AND that is exactly what my dad suggested I do, before designing full scale planes!) this is the best forum I've ever seen, because back in 2011, I was building...

    Re: launching a glider yeah, I reduced the size of the stick figure.

    Re: launching a glider would THIS work? (I know, I know...)

    is that like 15? if that's the case then I have to wait for 2 years.

    G-1a "Adder" manned glider concept

    launching a glider how do I launch a manned glider from a runway all by itself without a tow plane, or its own engine? would a catapult work? y'know like on aircraft carriers? thanks in advance -Natter:gig:

    G-1a "Adder" manned glider concept

    but its not an "airplane" its a glider, and I dont just plan to slap this thing together in 2 weekends and fly! I havent even started building yet.

    wing

    the aircraft is not meant to carry heavy loads, nor can it carry a passenger, would a biplane design give more lift for a smaller wing span?

    G-1a "Adder" manned glider concept

    thank you, I'm already reconsidering the design, I have built a scaled down model of the plane. it is built out of the same stuff, I think I either have to move the wings forward, or the cockpit back.

    wing

    I have absolutely NO idea of the "stall speed" how do I find that?

    wing

    what is a good wing design for a 1 seater 10ft long glider that provides ALOT of lift?
  15. natter4849

    Tell us what you are building!

    a small 10 foot long manned glider- plane called the G-1a or the "Adder". it will be made out of Styrofoam (to save weight) with some pipes stuck in the fuselage and wings for rigidity, and will be covered in some sort of hard shell. simplicity is my main goal. the aircraft can be launched on...

    G-1a "Adder" manned glider concept

    thank you, yes even though the natter was an EPIC fail, I like it too. Im still stuck on the flaps and such, but I've got a pretty good idea of what I want it to do, but I'm on a pretty tight budget. I want to get started ASAP but I only have enough $$$ fore some of the materials, but I will...
  17. natter4849

    G-1a "Adder" manned glider concept

    how could it be made to fly? (Besides the flaps, ailerons, etc)
  18. natter4849

    G-1a "Adder" manned glider concept

    Yes...yes that's a joke... -_-

    Rocket Launched Glider Idea

    The messerschmitt ME 262 is not a rocket plane, but a jet plane, I'm talking like the Komet or the Natter.

    G-1a "Adder" manned glider concept

    It would take off. Like a hang glider, with. Maybe some landing. Gear, and glide down like a hill or off the edge of a cliff. Average flight time: maybe 45 seconds. But it could also be towed behind a larger aircraft.
