Glider remote controlled (PoD)

Tips for flying on the flat and on the slope

This book is a guidebook for the model airplane pilot who wants to know more about RC gliding. The author has been familiar with the model flying scene for decades, so many questions that are always asked by beginners and novices are answered here.

In addition to gliders that can only be controlled with rudder, the author also explains the two-axis and three-axis controlled models and shows how to perform light aerobatics with them.

The flight terrain on the level and on the slope is presented with its special possibilities and also with its demands on pilot and model. In what way can you launch a glider model from a flat meadow? How do you do it on a slope? How do you land on a slope when the wind is diagonal to the edge of the slope? How do I install the remote control system in the model so that it will not be damaged after a hard landing? - The author answers these and other questions with the help of many very clear illustrations.

Finally, the construction methods of model gliders commonly used today are described.

A list with explanations of terms used in model flying rounds off this interesting work.
