Every gliding club should have one. Another recommendation: http://www.av8n.com/how/ gives a good description of how an aeroplane works. A lot of it is similar to "Stick and Rudder", so its written for pilots rather than aircraft designers. However, section 3 has excellent descriptions and diagrams showing how a wing works. It was recommended to me by a professional aerodynamicist who is a model designer and has flown gliders. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
