R.E.S. two metres (PoD)

Glider for rope launch and electric drive

The book deals with light gliders that only have elevator, rudder, and spoiler function. The author gives the reader very concrete and detailed assistance in selecting, building, and equipping a suitable model. After the introduction of current kit models, hints for the selection and an outlook on possible modifications and own constructions, all necessary extension components are also discussed. In the chapter on building, there are lots of concrete tips on working with wooden models, including useful workshop equipment. Furthermore, there are instructions for flying in and adjusting the R.E.S. gliders as well as motorisation options for the electrically powered variants. A brief insight into the rules and statements on flight tactics in competition round off the book.
