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.
