newsletter Harbor Soaring Society Pete Young editor Makos construction similar other planes its class its flying honestly best plane Ive ever flown Ive six other Open-class sailplanes flew very well because subtle differences engineered Mako outperforms What helps improve landings flat wing design tips-up planes can experience good amount polyhedral effect flying landing especially slight crosswind Mako s flat wings have very little tendency wallow around landings very crisp controlled Some people think flat wings susceptible tip-stalling just doesnt happen Mako couple times have turned too tightly low speeds has happened plane slipped little resumed flying fact plane gentle its third flight transmitter placed ground plane flew unassisted about minute before starting gentle bank right Thermaling plane very nice too wings signal lift extremely well light conditions feeding little camber really slows down climbs little trailing edge reflex helps penetration its no speed demon plane can still move out required Having flaps ailerons coupled slightly gives added roll authority allows nice tight aerobatics does launch Nice straight high doesnt want drop tip stall anything nasty just wants go up strong spar construction provides confidence go launch get top light downwind conditions Continued page 66 64 Model Aviation BATTERIES VISA MASTERCARD DISCOVER $400
