Imagine...You'd have nothing to do but launch retrieve it. Of course that could be solved by computers too, so all you'd have to do is take the planes to the field and assemble them. Then you could sit back in your chair read a book to stave off the boredom of watching a glider fly itself. Jeff Soaring wrote: Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 18:14:19 -0600 From: James V.

Re: [RCSE] Re: Soaring V1 #6999
I wonder how the free flighters feel about just launching and retrieving it? They seem to enjoy themselves. 8-) We are along way from taking the sticks away from anyone that wants to control their models manually, which BTW, I enjoy immensely. But this type of technology fascinates me, and that's why I shared the link. As Jim Deck sent me privately, maybe it would be interesting to some who could develop better soaring algorithms for keeping their models aloft longer. Also, there is the possibility to learn different techniques from all the data logging... even if you were to take this knowledge and apply it to your own piloting skills.

Maybe they could make an ARF that could assemble itself, open the box, throw in some CA and out it fly's, catches a thermal and whamo you won the Nats!
