recorded using an open mic.50ft end fed longwire. local chat on 80mtrs .. hence the strong signals. the AGC was overloading badly. the FT-857D coped much better.
home bodge ATU. the joke was the meters are lit using orange xmas tree bulbs ..

U WILL HAVE TO ADJUST YOUR CONTRAST TO SEE THIS AT ITS BEST. this clip is 3rd generation. i will endevour to find the original clip. ALL videos here are trial & error.
had to stooge about for 5mins after the launch .. but eventually some blow to get the plane moving. some nice snappy change overs & 180,s. think the wind was slightly off. filmed at Ditchling SE coast 1993-4.

more super8 moments. 1980,s stuff. home made gliders. Mk2 low winger using Flair Heron wing. plus one of two camouflage gliders. this one was crashed & lost at Beachy Head not long after this video. still have the 2nd glider .. but it got re-painted PINK .. enter the Pink Peril !

i had to delete the 1st version as it was more than 10mins!
built up wings sheeted & rudder elevator only .. proved to be a good fun plane. easy to handle.
its a 2 meter glider. called Amethyst. bought as a boxed kit about 1990ish.
thats all i call recall.
more re-balancing .. moved the lipo & esc forward. flew today .. gentle breeze .. flew like a baby! .. the slow speed is amazing .. but doesnt look the same on the video.
gonna shelve it & alter the design .. in favour of the wing.

very amusing ..
ok ill own up. for anyone paying attention to the videos .. this video is a prank! the audio is from a FT857D .. NOT a 950!!!! ha ... it was just a wind up. but stay tuned ... there may be a 950 later. u just never know
another outing to the local field.didnt bother to add any music as i quite liked the whooshing sound of the brushless motor & air over the plane. filming was a bit dogey .. but then .. thats home movies for you. 2100Mah 20c lipo
