Default Double Flight!

Here is what you could do with two models and a little bit of experimentation. There is a lot more in this hobby than just flying circles.
There are bomb drops, parachutes, on board videos, on board pics etc...

Oh yeah, as soon as the glider seperates two pilots are required. That plane was a very old 3 meter (9 feet) telemaster.

2 meter brushless glider is very duable, it sure will glide well

vsustko,
Noticed you were from Elmira! Isn't that the Flying Sparks field there? I fly down at the HH L/D field in Horseheads, but have flown a few times at that field when I took a break from sailplanes up at Harris Hill .

Hey! I've flown with you guys before. I was the one last winter with the Somethin Extra in Horseheads and I was there when you flew the Citabria at Harris Hill. You let me fly your SPAD, and Valdi's foamy hit the top of your truck. Nice to see you on here!

Sure is. Were you guys flying this morning (saturday) at the Spark's field? I was up on the runway and saw a couple up this morning.

Yeah, we flew for a bit, but then it got too windy and started raining.
After that we went to the hobby shop and decided to stop by Holding poitn. Nobody was there, but the weather seemed nice so we flew a couple tanks there. F...... wind was killing...

Yeah I was flying a 2-33 on the ridge. When I landed they shut down operations because it was gusting to over 32 knots! [X(]

Yeah, we did fly them both. My friend took both models up without me yanking on the sticks, which would mess up his plane. Then he reliesed the glider and i flew that.
Here is close up of the mechanism-
