Teaches how to fly these silent and challenging radio control planes. Explains sailplane and glider aerodynamics, equipment, and flying techniques.

This book sets out to explore and explain the great scope of radio control soaring from the flying of unpowered scale models of the latest jet fighters through to high-performance competitive thermal soaring and aerobatic sailplanes constructed from the same high-tech materials as used in the full-size glider world today. It's an invaluable source of information, practical advice and a point of reference for all radio control glider enthusiasts whatever their experience or level of involvement.

Based on a 15-year successful approach to teaching aircraft flight mechanics at the US Air Force Academy, this text explains the concepts and derivations of equations for aircraft flight mechanics. It covers aircraft performance, static stability, aircraft dynamics stability and feedback control.
