Gecko 60 DP

Gecko 60 DP - RC glider for Slope and Dynamic Soaring

Introducing the Gecko 60 DP.

A 60" flying wing for fast dynamic soaring.  This glider was designed in collaboration with Dirk Pflug.  CAD by me (Jonathan Wells) .  Airfoils by Dirk Pflug.

 

I have flow a medium weight airframe to 265mph - first flight in high winds - after this flight a better C/G position was established with some extra help from my test pilot Spencer Lisenby, he flew his very heavy airframe to  295mph on its maiden flight.

Just recently Jan - Feb 2023 I produced a light version with an AUW of 1100g and flew it to 210 mph on a UK DS site.  A great achievement for this weight.

The Gecko 60 DP is made by myself  here in the UK, my workshop is kitted out with all i need to produce this aircraft.
