Default The Giga Wiesel

In the RC club we have build many Wisel flying wings. 90 cm span. (

Its a real cool glider that will fly with alot of ballast for sloping combat towing bungee and DS
Then last year We build 3 in dobbel size, called Mega Wiesel and its even better.

Then this winter we build the the Giga Wiesel
3,8 meter span and 6,9 kg.


Easy to make and a fun projekt.

A great, fun project! In that first video, it looks like the fin is flexing a lot - perhaps you need to reinforce it a bit.

Due to wrong setting in the transmitter after CG change, I crashed the Wiesel into the ground. Only the fuselage and the steel bar in the wing broke, and was repaired in 2 hours.
The Wiesel is now ready again with new 17 kg servos, and more up elevator. )

Ready again:
