basically the problem with bonding aluminium is the oxide coating formed as
stated by someone else. by this you are relying on the strngth of the
aluminium to aluminium oxide layer. ive done laboraty reports on this and
the way in which they fail which is a cohesive failure between oxide and

Wing warps?
Maybe you need to throw harder (and not too steeply either)?
Maybe the cg is more conservative than the towhook position? THese go
together. If you have a forward cg, you need more up elevator in normal
flight, which makes problems when you launch unless you move the tow
hook further
I too received the Secrets of Thermal Soaring video and watched it last
night.
While Dave Thornburg was way ahead of his time, and did a good job in his
Old Buzzard Soaring Video to explain the "unseen world of air movement" and
"River of Air" concept, much has been learned about air movement (th

Be happy that your joiner rod rotates and consider it an asset instead of a liability.
If you glue your joiner rod or pin it to the fuse, you'll cause structural damage to
the wing or fuse if you hit anything hard. In fact, crushed leading edges or cracked
fuselages can be caused eve
OOPS! I knew there was something different about that notation, but I
didn't know what.

How hard are you throwing it when you launch? Your description sounds very
much like what was happening to me when I first started flying my homebuilt
Spirit. It was stalling on the hi-start, and a strong throw was all that it
took to get a good climb.
The other thing is to be sure you are not ov
I had an Algebra once that used a tie-up between the
two wings, set behind the wing rod. The tie-up was
implemented with miniature eyehooks set into the wing
roots. A small cable tie was then used to link these
together. You had to cut the cable tie to disassemble
the plane. The algebra had a

That's just a difference in European notation. Commas and points are
reversed between European and U.S. notation. So his nu

Received my Thermal Secrets video yesterday, along with the scale soaring

me say, Paul Naton has done a fantastic job on this one! The graphics are
superb, as is the information. I have read the book "Understanding the Sk
