The best wing tip shape for this type, according to Selig is to do this: Match the
underside so that the tip undersurface is the
same as the undersurface of the wing. Contour the top down to the undersurface.
Slightly curved profile is OK. If done with these
instructions the tip will shape itsel

It is because there is so much e-commerce with small package shipping.
UPS now looks at a large package and says, Hmmm I could get 9-$6.00 packages
in the same space that the large package takes up, so I should charge
$54.00 to ship the large package!

Dick,
I take exception to your MHLG comments. If you are looking for a plane that
performs well then stcik with the 60" ships you have. By getting down to
29.5 " you are entering another reallm of aerodynamics and design. You have
to design for that arena, much like that you had to design for
If you think that $450 is too much for a small HLG plane then think again.
This thread always comes up whe new planes of whatever are out and people
want to compete. Personally I thin it is well worth it, and I do not buy
the planes, I try to build my own.
If you look at all you out there who ha

Bill,
Yes, that is the way it is going to go in my very humble and cheap opinion.
It happened in F3B, and in the typical higher performance Open class at all
the major contests. I went bacK to RES and it is calmer, and less
expensive, but just as rewarding.
And to throw in the FIRST comment on
Bill,
We are not getting to that point we have been there for a long time. The
guys with the most money usually have the latest a greatest of designs at
their disposal. I have found that many of those same guys are the ones that
get out and fly and practice and fly and practice and fly and well
Actually, try seeing how long it takes to box something up and take it to the post
office. Add in the box and stuffing and it ain't cheap. It is a real money looser
for the small guys. The big companies are better equipped, but it still costs more
than the actual price of the stamp.

Boy do you have that right! Whenever I ship an Addiction, it comes in an oversized
(63"X11"X6") double walled 150psi cardboard box. I've proven this is a prudent step
as my number of damage claims has been gratifyingly small. However, just the box
costs $6 when buying at wholesale i

Agreed. Sorry. Guess I switched back to thinking about what happens if and
when the "full size" 1.5m class goes predominantly to tip launch - and at
what point it makes javelin launch go "out of style".

Hi. I thoroughly enjoyed the website!! I have built my first rc sailplane.
It is a Gentle Lady. The plane is ready for the controls to go in. But I am
concerned about washout. The instructions are not really clear, and I'd like
the advice of someone around me to do the washout and say

The short version (for dummies like me) is that as scale gets smaller, the
air molecules don't...therefore they become "large" relative to the airfoil.
When they're large, they're harder to move out of the way of the wing in the
same way that it's easier to dig through fine sand than through cours

The Climmax is a pretty dated design these days, but it's the only HLG I
