Iyer sir, are you planning the variable incidence to be controlled via a servo? Looks promising for DLGs, given one needs to make continuous adjustments to drag/lift

No.
But thanks for a GREAT idea.
No pushrod. Servo in nose. Wow. Possibilities.
Awaiting 3.7gm servos from xtreme.
Need a 3-6a ESC too. My smallest is 10a.

But wait. Read my design epistle tomorrow.
Need to lay hands on a 1/4x4x36 sheet of 6lb balsa. Current one was 6.4.
Have one 1/4" CF boom, very fine glass cloth, finishing resin...
Only if the design flies. Am sure she will do a qualifying flight, but will she do 1min+?
Perhaps model no.3
Model no.2 already taking shape. (In my head, that is Grin)

Edit:
Meanwhile have to request Anwar sir to move this thread to the Free Flight board...

Don't jump the gun, guys.
Presently the incidence adjuster is only a humble screwdriver!

Gusty sir,
Don't be modest. You have flown variable incidence.
Only it was called (i know you'll break my head) 'elevator trim'   Grin

And then I downloaded two plans for the Pelicatoo and the Kuntoel 28......... Wink

And then to hone my hibernated Balsa skills, I made 2 Chuck Gliders and am now building the third - increasing the size of each glider as I go along. Smiley

Sanjay Sir/ Rai Saheb has got it backwards by now - 21 to a dozen.

Bang Head

yes i have, but not elevator trim, all flying tailplane like the MiG 21, i dont know how many are aware that MiG 21 didnt have elevator at all, it had all flying (Variable incidence) tailplane, when you moved the stick back the entire tailplane moved and ofcourse when you trimmed it, it moved and didn't stay there (Moved again based on autopilot laws, height an speed)

You are somewhat right about it sir, all flying tail it is

Test launch 1. Darte darte!



Test launch 2. Not enough right rudder.



Test launch 3. Needs a bit more nose weight and a bit more rudder. And stronger launch!

Named it INDORE TLG1.
TLG stands for Tip Launch Glider.
Held by the wingtip. With thumb either above or below.
Just swing and release.

Note ease of transition from end of launch to beginning of glide.
