Once
you've been bitten by the bug, you can't get rid of it: the fascination of the
seemingly weightless glide of a model glider in the sea of air. As a model
pilot, you know the feeling and enjoy it to the full. The author of this book
shows you how you can get even more out of your wonderful hobby.
Drawing
from his many years of practice, he offers a wealth of tips and tricks on what
to look for when assembling a new model and how to achieve a perfect finish. An
extensive chapter is then devoted to all questions concerning the optimum trim
and control of model gliders with and without electric drive. In addition, the
basics of aerodynamics are discussed with many practical examples, so that one
is able, for example, to select the most suitable airfoil for a model building
project, and the appropriate models for thermal, slope or aerobatics are not
neglected. Advanced modelers will appreciate the collection of formulas that
allows the calculation of useful model parameters.
With
the best model to the highest flying pleasure - here you will find everything
everything you need to know.
