Radio Control Slope Soaring - 2010/06
I HAVE MORE for you about a favorite
building project: a fiberglass-fuselage and
sheeted-foam-wing short kit. Once you’ve
learned a few construction tips, tricks, and
techniques, you will have a wide variety of
sailplanes available and you will fly with
the satisfaction of having built them
yourself.

Rudder-only slope-flying challenge
MANY SLOPE SOARING models run

smallest number of control surfaces needed to
complete a flight and land back on top of the
hill under pilot control?
