RE: Electic Gliders
What do the instructions in the manual tell you to do?
I have two 2 meter pure sailplanes and I always test throw them before I fly them.
I am just finishing a 3 meter sailplane set-up and I will test throw that as well. Other pilots at our field hand throw their 3 meter planes. Some get a good 100 foot circle after the throw.
No motor in any of these though.
My friend has a two meter motor glider and he hand throws it with the motor off, but he gives it a strong throw after about 3 step. Definately into the wind and at the straight and level. Glides out nicely.
It is going to glide in. Unless it is going to come in VERY fast, it should be able to glide from a strong hand throw.
