But they’re also a masterpiece of weight reduction - the less mass, the less of a problem the Gs are. No big IC engine to deal with. The electronics are tiny and the fuselage walls are also super thin. It’s a stressed surface carbon fibre/kevlar frame to spread the force.
What I like is the common idea that only powered flight is fast. A propeller would only slow this model down. They’re so sleek.
My gliders are very casual — this one is a serious machine!
