The following step involves elevon and ballast adjustments to get the glider flying slowly, smoothly and in a straight line. Initially, the ballast should be as forward as possible.
Test fly the glider, launching it with a slight nose down attitude and at approximately walking speed:
adjust the elevons to get the glider flying straight. In the last video, the glider flies too much to the right, so the left elevon needs to be flattened:
The turning tendency has been corrected. Here is the second test flight:
In the last video, the elevons are trim too nose up and need to both be flattened:
How does it fly now? Let's see:
After more elevon trimming, the glider flies like this:
