RC light wind glider

Flying from thermal to thermal without a motor and fighting for every meter of altitude – that is the fascination of pure gliding. Those who want to enjoy this without the commonly used electric drive today should pay attention to several aspects when building their models. The author, Dr. Heinrich Eder, is a specialist in the aerodynamic peculiarities of light wind gliders. He makes his research findings and experiences accessible to everyone with this book. Where should the turbulator be placed, how is the angle of attack difference calculated, how are winglets optimally designed, or how is the best wing geometry determined? This technical book answers such questions and provides the knowledge for the design and optimization of one's own constructions, complete with many photos, diagrams, and drawings. Additionally, it offers practical advice for stable lightweight construction and successful flights, along with numerous examples.
