very high-pitch prop twin rudders rudders turned up vertically end 7-in stab model also has steeply upturned wing tips giving additional vertical area model has huge rudder clearly visible photo December 92 column didnt plan way since just free-handed curve built rudder boom time got model assembled saw big rudder time gone decided leave way Only after talking Joe did begin wonder large rudder area important models After breaking new ground herewhy else such tiny relatively heavy models break 10 minutes first really serious year competition Anyone else large rudders MiniStick models

Championships June 26-27 1993 70 entries last year expect bigger better year Now over Ron Swinehart would like give input sailplane feel best buys market especially consider finished product type construction amount work required builder get plane ready fly sailplane am talking about RnRs all-composite-construction Synergy 91 its molded hollow-core wing S-91 has finished weight 92 ounces wing area 975 sq wing loading might seem high 136 ozIsq ft however plane will thermal up through floaters feature makes S-9 ls 5D2048 airfoil really perform ability camber total trailing edge using computer radio Im using Airtronics Module set ATRCS conversion Adding overall appearance efficiency fact control linkages interual wing plus flap aileron hinge lines completely sealed have built two planes date first took 34 hours complete second finished 25 hours Construction time vastly lowered because plane comes completely fabricated structural standpoint Only joint flashing needs removed wings fuselage color fuselage wings stabs rudder molded Since no painting covering required finishing process builders hate eliminated Once air speed range plane has seen believed airfoil fast side thickness just 87% 19% camber Good cruising speed allows covering lot sky searching up air plane indicates lift feed approximately 20 positive camber mixed 80 nose-up elevator slows sailplane really allows climb like lonesome dove Last summer flying field Redstone Arsenal managed complete one-hour forty-two-minute flight ship 115 flight down about 30 feet altitude plane indicated lift dialed some camber started circle plane held its own what seemed like forever slowly began climb fellows Rob Glover yelled managed work up hed really brag Well make long story short next 10 minutes managed work up about 800 feet Boy will plane thermal Additionally indicates lift well sailplane have flown S-91 very strong being stressed 35 Gs will launch well asor betterthan anything have seen Despite its weight speed will slow down fast walk landing Just apply 850 down flap 100 up aileron crow configuration flight plane very stable Yet has very fast roll rate due coupling flaps ailerons Anyone has flown aileron plane before will have no problem sailplane am convinced once person learns fly land aileron sailplane flaps modeler will never want use other type plane Four years ago club aileron ship
