Nice video Phill. It’s unusual to see such a scale-like degree of wing flex. I’d love to know the spar structure, possibly more glass than carbon?

Yes, gprroby makes some fantastic videos in awesome locations.

Not sure who makes that model - possibly HB Modellbau. If so, their blurb says it’s a full carbon 9m wing

Also a video available of its 1st flight by same author which says that it is from HB-Modellbau.

Even more wing flex when landing 😬
