I ignited the Blue Glider shortly after separation, so it was very high up (probably about 800 feet) and very difficult to see especially through sun glasses. The glider was gliding when the motor fired. I could see a little black smoke, but I didn't give any input on the R/C controls. A spectator told me that he could also see a little bit of black smoke and that the glider was doing figure-8's. I am not sure about that, but I do think that the glider was going in circles, which is typical for my half-hull gliders. The glider tended to do circles all the way down. The landing was a little rough with one tail fin breaking off, but that is easy to fix. I just checked the servo's and they are working fine. The weight of the glider is 1 lb 4 oz ( 20 ounces). I am wondering if an E6 can do very much with a glider this heavy. I do have an F10 in my inventory and I am contemplating trying that next time. In any case either an E6 or F10, I will allow the glider to get closer to the ground and in good visual range. Two years ago with the similar Red Glider I tried to trim the glider on the way down to straighten out the circular glide pattern with some success.
