The Oxymoron of RC Powered Gliders
For a gentle introduction to radio control flying, rc powered Gliders are an ideal answer; their stable and forgiving flight characteristics make them good for beginners to the hobby.
But what is a powered glider?
Also called a motor glider or e
It’s all Still Gliding, but with different Objectives.
Categories of RC gliders and sailplanes.
There are several different categories of radio control glider, as well as a large diversity of model designs ranging from general sport gliders to expensive carbon racing ones to large scale vintage sailplanes. Below are some examples of
RTF vs. ARF RC Gliders.
RC Glider Wing Setups
– ‘full house’ glider wings explained.
Learning about ‘full house’ rc glider wing setups might not be high on your agenda if you’ve just entered the radio control gliding hobby, but there will probably come a time when you want
RC Thermal Soaring.
Thermal soaring with an rc glider (sailplane) is a very relaxing radio control flying experience, but you need to understand some basic principles before you go thermal hunting.
Thermals are columns of air that are warmer than the air immediately surrounding them. Warm
Different Ways of Launching RC Gliders
– ways to get airborne.
Launching rc gliders that are of the non-powered variety can be done in a few different ways, all of which are fairly easy to understand. Some are easier to do than others though.
RC Slope Soaring
– my personal passion!
Slope soaring with an rc glider can be one of the most relaxing and straightforward ways of enjoying radio control flight. It’s relatively easy to master and, for me, is a personal favourite type of rc flying. At the
Dynamic Soaring (‘DS’)
