How does this explain the behaviour of non-radio-controlled model
gloiders that return to level flight anytime? They are built perfectly symmetrical, have a smooth polar and no controls at all... They have a lot more dihedral or polyhedral to help them return to level flight. Interestingly, a well trimmed hand launch free flight glider will climb almost straight up, "flop" into a glide without stalling, and then start turning in a stable, constant circle. Great fun!
