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 the high performance competitive thermal soaring and aerobatic sailplanes, constructed from the same high-tech materials as used in the full-size glider world today. Aspects covered include design, construction and flying of the various types, detection and use of slope and thermal lift for both sport and contest flying is explained and examples of all types are illustrated. Traditional and high-tech structural techniques are detailed and illustrated with sketches and photographs. Also included are three-view drawings of representative models of different classes.
