Sir George Cayley Glider Often I like to reflect back to the early days of flying to educate myself a little about these Aeronautic Pioneers. Today I would like to show some honor to Sir George Cayley. In 1799 he set forth the concept of the modern Aeroplane as a fixed-wing flying machine with separate systems for lift, propulsion, and control. Straight out of Jebediah's Junk Yard is what I'd like to say about this craft, although the craft will give you the sensation of how fun flying these early craft must have been, well somewhat! Powered by two Juno Engines and controlled by Elevons and Conards. Thanks for checking out my latest build and I hope you enjoy it until my next Pioneer's Craft Build. More Pictures here Flight Operation: *** IMPORTANT TO SWITCH CONTROL TO THE OKTO2 TO FLY *** Use SAS, full throttle, lift near 60 m/s is working nice but less or more speed could be done.
