Ok I been flying Aeroic Sess 60 I have to admit that thing had been a handful for quite a few flights. looking for the best solution to make it feel comfortable.
I had been flying it 70 mm CG. And tried going back some never felt good. I have found a forward of 70mm CG to tame it. now I am very happy with the way it handles like it on rails. Very predictable no bad habits now.
Every sailplane I have flown has always felt better aft CG. maybe it’s the repair weight I’ve added to its much better now I love it.

The cruel part of the Gulf coast, always wind, but few slopes.

Which is the green airplane?

Funny I had to take a double take as I did not notice the prop at first. Thought it was odd for a pure glider to be in your parts.

I lived in Corpus Christi for a long while. We flew gliders plenty.

My MiL was right in the bay with one of the highest bluffs on that part of the coast. Pretty handy.

Nice, I grew up in Southern California so I had plenty of slopes. The California sent me running to Texas. I’ve been here since 2009.
And Wayne, Im good at adding a little something to the nose.

Nice - It has been cold here, but the sun pops out occasionally. We sneak the occasional flight in the backyard after lunch.

It’s been kind of chilly here it was 32° when I woke up this morning, now in the mid 60s.
Broke out one of my old dinosaurs T-Rex 700 Nitro pro converted to electric 12s fly bar, running an Xera before they became Xnova’s !!

P.S. that T-Rex is 20 years old.

@fastchop I see what looks like a Corsa in a pic from a few posts ago. If thats correct, what power system are you running in it? I will be building one and curious how you have yours setup. Thanks
