Real Cartoon Gliders
In the category of "eccentric gliders", a non-soaring friend told me
that one run of the Japanese Animae cartoon series Eureka7, is about a character who is or flies a glider (sorry, I've not actually read or seen the series). Part of the story line is the search for lift. Turns out someone has built a 1:1 of the cartoon glider: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com.au/n...ed-at-worldcon with a short movie of the build/flight: http://www.petworks.co.jp/~hachiya/w...Sky_movie.html Just don't fall off!

Kemp That's cool! I remember that glider from an animae movie called "Warriors of the Wind" in the mid-eighties. I watched it while in my hotel room in Tonopah, killing an otherwise boring night. That was, of course, before I began soaring full scale planes. I built a small (around 15" wingspan) profile model of it, but had very limited success with using weight shift for turning, although it worked fine for pitch. |
