No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Prereq: N/A
Competition radio controlled sailplanes will be discussed and analyzed from the perspective of functional requirements, evolution of design, aerodynamics, control avionics, state-of-art composite construction, and flight tactics. A variety of thermal sailplanes will be displayed to illustrate technical points and differing design approaches. Videos will be shown and discussed.
