Book Description
This book sets out to explore and explain the great scope of radio control soaring from the flying of unpowered scale models of the latest jet fighters through to high-performance competitive thermal soaring and aerobatic sailplanes constructed from the same high-tech materials as used in the full-size glider world today. It's an invaluable source of information, practical advice and a point of reference for all radio control glider enthusiasts whatever their experience or level of involvement.

Excerpt: A radio-controlled model aircraft (often called RC aircraft or RC plane) is controlled remotely by a hand-held transmitter and a receiver within the craft. The receiver controls the corresponding servos that move the control surfaces based on the position of joysticks on the transmitter, which in turn affect the orientation of the plane. Flying RC aircraft as a hobby has been growing worldwide with the advent of more efficient motors (both electric and miniature internal combustion or jet engines), lighter...

Book Description
Flying from upwind to upwind without propulsion and fighting for every metre of height – that is the fascination of pure gliding. If you want to enjoy this without the electric drive that is so common today, you should pay attention to a few things when building your models. The author, Dr. Heinrich Eder, is a specialist in the aerodynamic peculiarities of light-wind gliders, and in this book, he makes his research results and experience available to everyone. Where do you place the turbulator, how do you calculate the setting angle difference, how do you optimally design winglets or find the best wing geometry? This technical book answers such questions and imparts the knowledge needed to design and optimise one's own constructions, with many photos, diagrams, and drawings. In addition, there is tried and tested advice for stable lightweight construction and successful flight, as well as many examples of proven light-wind gliders. From the content: • Re-number influence on sink rate • The induced drag • The wing aspect ratio of a light wind glider • How to calculate the EWD? • C.G. position and lift distribution • Winglets, Tiplets and Co. • Optimisation of lift distribution • Pitch and sweep • Profiles for light wind gliders • Selection of balsa and CFRP • Paper, polyester fleece and silk • Detecting and avoiding distortions • The effect of the turbulator • Running, rubber and winch launching • Descent aids and thermal tactics • Examples for light wind sailors
