Download or read book Soaring and Gliding written by Jeffery P. Sandman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006-06-28 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To fly as the hawk and eagle has been mankinds dream for centuries. Modern sailplanes make soaring and gliding flight possible, and with them, humans can fly higher, faster, and farther than the greatest of birds, using only an invisible force of nature to stay aloft. The terms soaring and gliding are used interchangeably, and the sport is appealing to pilot and spectator alike. Sailplane enthusiasts have always been explorers, always looking for a more ideal site that will provide the intellectual challenges of soaring as well as the sheer beauty and relaxation the sport can offer. Michigan-based glider pilots and designers found their soaring paradise in the early 1930s when they ventured north to the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. The explorers began to promote the sport to national and international prominence, and many came to make up a veritable whos who of American aeronautics. Over a century after Octave Chanute discovered motorless flight on the Lake Michigan dunes, sailplanes, hang gliders, and paragliders still fill the skies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gliding is probably one of the most elegant forms of moving in the air. No wonder, then, that it also has a very special appeal for model pilots and that many beginners choose gliding. In this book, FMT author Werner Baumeister explains everything you need to get started successfully. The construction and special features of today's widely used ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) models are explained as well as the important steps of setting up, flying in, and optimising. Of course, the experienced glider pilot also gives plenty of tips from his many years of practice, making it easier to get started in successful model gliding. And by the way: even old hands can benefit from some of the author's tips in this book. From the content: • Which model suits me? – a decision-making aid • Electric or "clean” • The shopping checks • The model • Flying in and optimising • EWD and centre of gravity – and what goes with it • When the wings flap... • Help, my model is gone! • First aid for beginners
