Flippin’ Out with Le Fish Light, 08-30-11 Mormon Lake Overlook from Dawson Henderson on Vimeo.
Groundbreaking!!! Some really cool new stuff here from Dawson: knife edge flips, flips with rudder added, and a whole bunch more. Seriously awesome!

More fun flying and beautiful scenery from our friend Tobias in Sweden… love the sun through the clouds, with the plane looping ’round!
Fred “LoopingFred” Marie of Ireland has begun construction on a very cool upscale version of his Quark Mini EPP aerobat. This one is fully built up and features a 2m wingspan… so cool! Check out all the details in his build thread on RCGroups.
Can’t wait to see this one fly… is it too much to hope that he will release a CNC plan for lasercutting? Would love to build this one!!

Nice smooth Voltij flying from the UK… love that plane so much
Doug Montgomery of Glendale, Arizona has started producing laser cut servo pulleys / wheels that can be used to create a 200°+ rotation Madslide-style stabilizer based on Dawson Henderson’s innovative design. They look really nice and simply bolt to a standard 4 arm servo horn. They have a 1.6:1 ratio between the servo side and the stabilizer side and are cut from a combination of G-10 and 1/16″ plywood.
You can order by contacting Doug via private message on RCGroups. The post announcing these, including prices, is here in the “How to build a Swiss Fish” thread on RCGroups.com.
After having tested pull-pull and pushrod setups, I’m convinced that this pulley solution, pioneered by Dawson Henderson, is the best. All the drawbacks of the other solutions are addressed in an easy to set up, reliable, and durable solution that lets you whip a multiflip with ease. I will be getting some soon from Doug and can’t wait to try them out!!
Doug is also offering lasercut SB96V/SB9VS and MG05 airfoil templates in chord lengths designed for the 1.5m (60″) Le Fish. You can order his templates via this thread for the SB96V/SB96VS templates and this thread for the MG05. He also provides PDFs of the templates if you want to cut your own. Please note that the current Leading Edge Gliders Le Fish uses a modified SB96V/VS airfoil of Jack Cooper’s design, which is different from what Doug is offering here.
Wow! I’m so totally floored and excited by this development! Huge thanks to Doug for providing these valuable resources to Le Fish scratchbuilders worldwide!!

Dawson testing his pulley driven, 200 degree movement flying stabilizer in Arizona… awesome
Voltij at Slieve Mish from Chris van Schoor on Vimeo.
Another winner from Chris van Schoor… gotta love those beautiful Irish slopes!
Chris’s Voltij has a four servo wing. He’s had it for a while and, like me, find he likes it more and more with time. They’re truly great planes and a joy to fly. Keep up the great work, Chris… really like those low passes!!
Ellwood Compilation from surfimp on Vimeo.
This is an extended duration compilation of footage of Swiss Peter and myself flying over the last few sessions we’ve had out at Ellwood.
Peter has mostly been flying his all-white 2.1m 635g Big Fish, and I’ve been flying my white-and-black 1.5m 470g Le Fish with Madslide-style stabilizer. Both planes are built with the ultralightweight construction methodology that Peter pioneered, and they allow us to fly in a truly new and unique way.
Conditions varied between 6-12mph over the course of the various days and sessions presented here. This is the sweet spot for this current crop of ultralightweight gliders.
Apologies for the shaky bits of video in the beginning – those were filmed by my 6yr old son who is showing a lot of interest in gliders, especially now that we can make them do flips The rest was filmed via my headcam.
Leviathan from surfimp on Vimeo.
Finally! Flight footage of Swiss Peter’s incredible 2.5m Leviathan. It’s his own design and construction taken to the limit. It’s all made of EPP with Depron for the flight control surfaces, and everything covered in laminating film. What a machine! I got to fly it a bit and it is truly amazing, there is really nothing else like it except for perhaps R/C blimps? 
You can read more about the Leviathan here.
Ellwood Duet from surfimp on Vimeo.
Fun single take, uncut video of Peter and I flying a bowl at Ellwood, filmed with my headcam. The wind was a lot better than in most of our videos, about 10-12mph and coming in nicely to this bowl.
We tried to keep the planes in really close, within 5-10ft of the lip, where the compression was working really nicely. It allowed us to get the planes “on step” and really rockin’.
I was flying my 16.5oz 1.5m Le Fish and Peter was flying his 24oz 2m Big Fish. Filmed with a camera mounted to my hat
