This is a radio control, 3 channel, 2-Meter electric powered sailplane. This sailpalane is controlled by the electric motor, rudder and elevator. Power up, hand launch, fly high, cut the power and glide around.
This sailplane or glider needs a big area to fly. It does have a quiet electric motor to help it get airborne and get some altitude where you then shut off the motor and glide on thermals and wind currents. A sports type field works best.
This is 1 of 10 caches in this "Come Fly With Me" series. There will be 9 traditional caches. Save the numbers on the logs to solve the final cache coordinates.
Ka'ena Point State Park
This is a nice big shoreline park. You need a permit and a 4wheel drive vehicle to drive further in or you can park in the lot and hike in. From the early 2000's i use to come here to fish, hike, swim, later geocache and sometimes to fly my gliders along the mountain sides and catch the updrafts from the trade winds. Sometimes i could glide for a hour. Recent changes to the park, the permit decal, large gate and the prohibition of drones. This also now includes anything manmade that flies.
Congrats to Skotlee and Quest.808 for the FTF
There are a lot of caches along this hike.
