Just making one myself, do you think the tow point at CofG or fwd of CofG is best? Great idea I hadn’t thought of.

Tow speed much too high. Vintage gliders like to go slowly.

Those twin lines will be preventing the tow glider from yawing. Try it with just one line on the top of the wing of the tow plane, as if it was a glider tug.

Cliff you have her dialed in! Flew beautifully, of course a lot of that is you too! Such a beauty!

Fantastic

Lovely Cliff, Looks cool. 👍🏻✌🏻

Who would've thought we would see the day that Cliff Harvey starts mucking about with Lidl Gliders. 😉

Hi Cliff. Just for interest sake . There is a Shackleton at our airforce museum about 15 minutes away and they are going to run up the 4 Griffon engines today. It does not fly anymore unfortunately. Those engines always sound fantastic. 😊

hi Cliff that's a nice liddle glider, 👍

Fascinating project and thanks for mentioning my channel Cliff and yes, lots of Lidl build experience after 20 RC conversions now. Interesting to hear your thought processes putting this together. Love the idea of the wing tips as skids. I always put a tether on a camera mounted on an RC plane, they're usually worth more than my planes! Looking forward to seeing more video from this chase plane.

Hi. Cliff , enjoy your video .How about installing an electronic stabilizer on the chase plane so it would be more stable,just an idea.

This is a great idea, Might have to try this myself.

This is bloody brilliant. Really enjoying this experiment. I would like to see some footage from the bottle please Cliff.

Waiting in anticipation of the next video Cliff. 😊

Lovely work as always Chris. You’ve inspired me to have a go now!

This is turning into a really fun thing to try, I'm looking for a nice longer distance shot of a scale model but there's a way to go but I'm getting closer, cheers.

Beautiful!

I was drinking some wine while watching this. That was some rough flying. I think the wine helped. Looking forward to the glider cam. (hic)

Much better 👍🏻

Another great video Cliff. Well done. Lovely model!

Nice....well done. Love the tiger moth . Hope to build one this winter.

Doesn't she fly beautifully,a fantastic 'plane. The landing didn't do any harm luckily. I know that I've said it before but it would be absolutely perfect if you could sort out some sound. Well done, she's maybe your best one yet.

Wow impressive 😊

Nice flight and landing😉

Interesting concept Cliff, the bottle certainly shows promise. Well done

I need to upgrade my gear, i like that audible prompt. I was flying my new p51 last weekend and time got away. I knew i was close ignoring the blinking lights, and it powered down boop. Suddenly, i'm a spectator too.

Love that footage. Needs a gunsite and bitta bitta sounds.

Excellent work Cliff.

This is your captain speaking, we are experience some turbulence, please return to seats and wear your seat belt. Had to reach for the sick bag! You were getting there with flight 2 , 3 , 4. Good effort.

Looks great, Cliff. Looks nice and enjoyable to fly.

You are truly hilarious Cliff. I feel quite drunk now after watching the video. Looking forward to the next experiment. 😂😂😂😂😂

For the full video click on the thumbnail 🙂

hey Cliff that is quite a liddl glider is,nt it ?

Schönes Modell👍 sehr gut geflogen 👍 sehr schöne landschaft👍 Gruß Rolf 😂

EXcellent landing!

Consider using a kite tail - it will create drag (like towing a banner) - tightening/pulling the tow line straight behind the plane without much lagg

Great looking model and nice scale flying. Your patrol seemed to have scared all the Bosch away.

Happy holiday Cliff y bonitos vuelos

I'm not sure that two tow-lines will help with stability, especially if they're mounted a long way from the centre of lift/pressure/gravity.🤔 A pair of horses pulling a plough tend to be yoked very closely together to give the ploughman maximum control. So... When using the Lidl glider-drone (not your cute bumble-bee 🐝bottle-cam, which doesn't really fly), having the towing lines attached at the leading plane's wingtips puts a lot of asymmetric force on its balance if they're not perfectly matched left and right. And unless they can stretch elastically to provide some slight damping effect, the yanking oscillations from the glider-drone will tend to pull the leading plane aside and overpower your control inputs. With a single towing point - as with a full-sized glider tow-tug - the various forces should balance themselves out, letting the plane respond purely to your controls, and allow the camera drone (whether glider or bumble-bee) to find its own level without pulling the lead plane out of position. Er, possibly. Perhaps. Maybe... More experimentation, please - this is great content! 😁

Cliff I would try using a single tow line and let the camera drone just fly behind the tow plane. Jeff in LA USA

Cliff fantastic flying, really looks great and scale flying. Jeff in LA USA

She looked great in the air Cliff, at least nothing was broken with the tip over 👍🏻

Nice one Cliff. Hope you have many more fun flights. 😊
