Baudis ASW 22



Last week-end, my mobius action cam and its pod jumped on another plane today ! We went to the col de Faisses and met with Martial Faure who flew his Baudis ASW22. It is a 1/5 scale glider, with the following characteristics:
  • Wingspan 5300 mm
  • Wing area 68 dm2
  • Aspect ratio 41,3
  • Length 1600 mm
  • Wing loading aprox. 74g / dm2
  • Airfoil HQ 2,5/13 - 1,5/10
Conditions where smooth, but very nice, and especially warm for november. Here is my photo album on this plane that I could pilot few minute: very different from my usual F3F plane, believe me !


And the video made from the 8 minutes of rushes I got before the Mobius battery dies.

[Video] Vagabond XL from Hacker Model

Second video of the Vagabond XL, at col de Faisses, with some onboard video sequences. Overall, I have prefered the XL version compared to the standard version. I found it more polyvalent, with a wider flying envelop.
