Download or read book RC light wind glider written by Dr. Heinrich Eder and published by Verlag für Technik und Handwerk. This book was released on with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flying from upwind to upwind without propulsion and fighting for every metre of height – that is the fascination of pure gliding. If you want to enjoy this without the electric drive that is so common today, you should pay attention to a few things when building your models. The author, Dr. Heinrich Eder, is a specialist in the aerodynamic peculiarities of light-wind gliders, and in this book, he makes his research results and experience available to everyone. Where do you place the turbulator, how do you calculate the setting angle difference, how do you optimally design winglets or find the best wing geometry? This technical book answers such questions and imparts the knowledge needed to design and optimise one's own constructions, with many photos, diagrams, and drawings. In addition, there is tried and tested advice for stable lightweight construction and successful flight, as well as many examples of proven light-wind gliders. From the content: • Re-number influence on sink rate • The induced drag • The wing aspect ratio of a light wind glider • How to calculate the EWD? • C.G. position and lift distribution • Winglets, Tiplets and Co. • Optimisation of lift distribution • Pitch and sweep • Profiles for light wind gliders • Selection of balsa and CFRP • Paper, polyester fleece and silk • Detecting and avoiding distortions • The effect of the turbulator • Running, rubber and winch launching • Descent aids and thermal tactics • Examples for light wind sailors

Easy rules for selecting the right power system, gas or electric. When it makes sense to use one of the innovative KFm airfoils. Pros and cons of canard and multi-wing configurations. A step-by-step design process that includes goal setting and flight testing. In-depth discussions of important topics like airfoils and wing design. The sources of air drag and how to minimize their impact. ADVANCE PRAISE "This book is a joy to read! The writing style and wit add dimension in a way that is rarely found in today's reference materials. If someone has considered designing their own airplane and been put off because of complicated formulas, vocabulary and reference style that would bore even an engineer, this will convince them to go ahead and try it. Written with real people in mind and not engineers - and I mean that in a good way. This is a book that will reside along the other favorites on my bookshelf. Carlos really managed to produce a book that will last a long time and become one of the standards for modelers." - Greg Gimlick, Electrics columnist, Model Aviation magazine "RCAdvisor's Model Airplane Design Made Easy is the ultimate model airplane design book for both beginning and experienced modelers." - Richard Kline, Inventor, KFm airfoils "RCadvisor's Model Airplane Design Made Easy is a real contribution to the world's literature on the subject. It provides an excellent bridge between full scale aviation and aeromodeling, showing the relationship between the two, for better understanding of the differences and similarities which should be applied for good model performance. While thorough in detail, the book is also easily readable so that the information is simple to understand. It is a very good combination of theory and practical application. Nicely illustrated, the book is also full of common sense explanations and references to other sources of information." - John Worth, former President and Executive Director of the AMA "Carlos Reyes personably leads the reader through some basic aerodynamics, materials considerations, electric power system planning and a practical application of theory as it is applied to a finished flying model. The background history of various types of aircraft shows the development of aviation and how it relates to the models that we build and fly today, as well as how models have influenced general aviation. It is always exciting to find some 'new to me' concepts and theories, and there were several in this well-written narrative." - Ken Myers, Editor, Ampeer electric flight newsletter "No matter how long you've been aeromodelling, or what your interests are in our great hobby, the greatest thrill of all is standing behind a unique model that you've designed and built yourself, from a blank sheet of paper - or even a blank CAD file - and preparing to make that first take off. So sit yourself down in a comfy chair, read RCadvisor's Model Airplane Design Made Easy and set off on aeromodelling's greatest adventure. Let Carlos Reyes - an aeromodeller of long standing and great talent - take you through the mysteries of how to arrive at the point that every lover of model aircraft should experience." - Dereck Woodward, aeromodeller, designer and magazine writer for the past fifty years

Excerpt: A radio-controlled model aircraft (often called RC aircraft or RC plane) is controlled remotely by a hand-held transmitter and a receiver within the craft. The receiver controls the corresponding servos that move the control surfaces based on the position of joysticks on the transmitter, which in turn affect the orientation of the plane. Flying RC aircraft as a hobby has been growing worldwide with the advent of more efficient motors (both electric and miniature internal combustion or jet engines), lighter...
