WHEN TESTING THIS GLIDER PUT THE THREE POSITION SWITCH (CH 8) ON NEUTRAL AND THE GAS STICK ON "FULL THROTTLE"!!
This glider is perfect for the Sierra Nevada Cliff scenario in Real Flight. It gives the pilot great control over the flaps and the ailerons: when the throttle is on "full throttle" the flaps and ailerons are on neutral position. As you take it down, flaps start to deflect down. At midstick also ailerons start to deflect (upwards), and full "Airbrake/Spoiler" power is obtained at "Zero gas".
Also the three position switch gives you power over the flaps and ailerons: Neutral position leave the controls as they are, push it down and they will deflect a bit downwards, ideal for slow flight and weak soar. Push the switch up and the flaps and ailerons will be deflected upwards, creating a slight dive and reduced lift.
It is able to soar gently even in the weakest breeze (2m/s) just by pushing the Ch 8 down, It is fast and agile on medium winds (10m/s), and really funny and maneouverable on strong winds (22m/s) thanks to its high wing load.
Precise landing is easily achieved by deflecting the spoilers completely, just remember you have to be high enough.
The last relevant feature is that it has been thoroughly reinforced so that it can withstand the extreme G's that new revolutionary Dynamic Soaring sites require, (such as "SeaSide DynamicSoar_AP" by Maj. Numbskully).
Thanks for testing this plane (my first model) and remember that umpowered gliders tend to go straight to the ground unless you are on the right site, such as "Sierra Nevada Cliff".
Enjoy!
