Hey Josh, how are you?I have a problem with my glider that I cant figure out.
After launch my glider does two loops, a barrel roll, a couple whip stalls and a rolling circle. Then it does a hammerhead and heads straight down and breaks the nose off each time.
How do I go about trimming?
Ha!
Actually Kurt Krempetz is my neighbor and helped me with my indoor gliders. But I am glad to see you publishing something as it is a black art. The one thing Kurt showed me is how minute of adjustments make huge changes. I had been too heavy handed on trim before that.
Hope you are staying warm in GA. It is 50-below here in Illinois today.I have not had much time for indoor lately. My drag racing team took all my spare time last year and I started flying speed again. All my extra time went in to the 1/2A, A,B,D, and Jet models. In fact I just bought all the tooling from the last guy to produce pulse jets. No one else makes these now. So looks like I have another income when I retire....... hopefully soon. Quite the opposite of indoor. Maybe next winter I will fly indoor again. This winter I am mentoring a team for First Robotics. That's 7-days a week commitment and extends my work day to 14 hours a day. Not much energy after that.We'll cross paths again.....Al

Since I now sell several kits for indoor gliders, I'm trying to put together as many examples as possible of how to trim them. When I was getting started in indoor, I found these things unbelievably frustrating to trim, and experience has shown I'm not alone. Now, hopefully, some of that mystery is removed. Have a look at the latest example and let me know what trimming problems y'all have encountered that aren't addressed here so I can explore those in the next installment.
