This channel is more or less dedicated to free flight model gliders, both catapult launched gliders (CLG) and hand launched gliders (HLG), also known as tip launched gliders (TLG). My hope is to share videos that help others learn about this wonderfully rewarding hobby/sport. In some cases I have used slow motion photography to capture gliders in flight or being launched. Free flight gliders can be flown indoors or outdoors. Indoor models are challenging because they must be built for maximum duration in still air, while outdoor gliders are designed to catch thermals and stay aloft for several minutes riding columns or rising air, just like hawks and eagles.
