ABOUT
A guide to the design, construction, and operation of radio controlled gliders and sailplanes.
Siposs explains the aerodynamic principles that govern unpowered flight, lift, drag, stability, and thermal efficiency, translating them into practical decisions about wing planforms, airfoils, structures, and control arrangements.
The book also serves as a pilot's manual, covering launch methods, trimming, slope soaring, thermal hunting, and advanced soaring techniques. Siposs emphasizes reading the air, managing energy, and tuning a model for maximum efficiency, helping flyers develop both technical skill and situational awareness.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and illustrations.
