Publisher's Synopsis
Book updated Dec 2024. Modern entry level RC sailplanes/gliderplanes use a very simple architecture - there are no moving parts other than the two propellers. When you accelerate the plane ascend. When you deccelerate the plane descend. When you want to make a right turn the left motor pushes harder than the right one, and vice versa. You can let it take off from the ground, or simply let it start by hand throwing. A simple but effective 2 channels design.
For starters there are less moving parts and therefore less complexity. It does not mean they are worry-free though. There are items that need to be regularly maintained or replaced. And they can be upgraded to fly much faster and longer too! This is what this book is all about - it teaches you how to maintain and upgrade these planes for more fun and excitement!
