RC Soaring
Mike Garton discusses the Laser Arts Majestic, a 60-70 oz RC glider kit priced at $150, ideal for intermediate builders. He invites picture submissions and shares a Soaring Link of the Month. The Majestic features a 110-inch wingspan and advanced airfoil design, excelling in thermals and glide performance. Garton also covers RC Cross Country Soaring highlights from the SOSS event.
Radio Control Soaring-2004/11
THIS MONTH’S THEME is electronic
components for large gliders. I’ll compare
several high-end transmitters, including the
new Multiplex Royal Evo 12-channel
synthesized transmitter, the Profi 4000, and
the Stylus. I’ll also provide information
about the Multiplex 12-channel IPD receiver
and the ElectroDynamics amplified optoisolator
for long servo leads.
Radio Control Soaring-2004/12
WHAT GLIDER WOULD be good as a
first airplane? This month I’ll give my
recommendations. All of the gliders I’ll list
have excellent instructions. I will examine
trade-offs between durability and
performance
RADIO CONTROL SOARING - 2004/07
THIS MONTH I have a review of a new instructional moldmaking
DVD and a technical note submitted by Gregory Ciurpita
on the pitch stability of gliders at low speed.
RADIO CONTROL SOARING - 2003/11
THIS MONTH I’LL give you some details
and flight impressions of three new gliders.
The Spinner is an inexpensive expanded
polypropylene (EPP)-foam discus-launch
glider (DLG) kit, the Hyper DL is an
inexpensive Almost Ready-to-Fly (ARF)
DLG, and the AVA is an ultralight ARF that
looks like Mark Drela’s Bubble Dancer
