Tip Stalling can be a problem on swept wings if aileron differential is used. Keep tip RN above critical limits. Use proper sweep angle.
Five different designs for aerotowing release mechanisms are illustrated. Having this part properly designed is a key to success.
Inland slope / thermal soaring on a closed landfill 200 high is described. Theperformance of several HLG models are discussed.
Humorous but informative account of experiencing catapult gliders.Light ideas for a carrier competition is suggested.
Aileron differential is required to produce efficient turns. A protractormakes a good gauge on setting up the proper movement. Diagrams provided.
Climmax 7037 HLG/aRF by C.R. Aircraft flies exceptionally well. 2M Barracuda by Brian Agnew by 7037 is said to fly like a Super V.
Dortmund Intermodellbau 96 show is reviewed. Held each march this may be the biggest in the world. 50% of models are sailplanes and most are scale.
SC or SCE Type fit most uses outside of a blast charge. AR SCR SCRC R=higher voltage at high current. E=extra energy but at lower output I.Sizes are defined 800 AR and 1000 SCRs used most for limited space 1400 and 1700 when space is ample. Test for balanced cells.Selection of chargers wire propeller connector.
AMA recognizes LSF as its R/c Soaring Special Interest group. Warning given to plan ahead: Reservations Charged Bat.
This 48″ Zipper is a plywood covered foam core model with strong F/g fuse. and fin. It uses EH2-10 airfoil. Model is strong easily repaired.
