Flying The Experimental High Aspect Ratio DLG on a Windy Day!

Hey guys! In this video, I fly my experimental high aspect ratio DLG on a windy day. The purpose of this build was to see if any benefits arise from having a very high aspect ratio, and it seems that they do. Firstly, although the aircraft weighs a mere 100 grams, it clearly penetrates through the wind as if it were a much heavier glider. This is likely on account of the high aspect ratio. Also, the launch height ie far superior to that of my similar gliders which don’t have as high an aspect ratio. It seems, however, that the glide performance may be somewhat negatively impacted by the extremely high aspect ratio, so likely a more efficient design would be to have a high flying weight and lower aspect ratio.
