Every single human being has a level deep inside their mind that will bring total calmness. Meditation gives you that space between you and your body, between you and your mind. Flying RC Gliders has been proven to bring forth tangible benefits, in particular a more restful and focused mind. I have found myself able to concentrate deeply on the task at hand, to better adjust the volume on distracting background noise of ever growing stressful lifestyle we all encounter day by day.
If you are new to this wonderful RC hobby, here you can find some helpful information on building a hand launch glider or DLG. Find out what the best DLG glider is for beginners.
With RC gliders, the fun factor starts with the knowledge to utilize environmental forces of mother nature such as wind, thermals, trees, altitude, the heat and the cold. Being mindful of your surrounding, taking in a deep breath of fresh air and dancing with nature. The art of gliding might take years of practice for some to fine tune, but the experience and journey is quite meditative and breathtaking.
RC Thermal Soaring – Thermal lift is when warm air rises from the earths surface due to the suns warmth. Similar to hot air balloons as hot air is less dense than cool air, the heated air causes the balloon to rise. Buoyancy is an upward force that the air exerts helping in the lift factor. As long as warm air is constant, your rc glider will be able to sustain continuous lift.
RC Slope Soaring – Slope Soaring or Ridge Lift is when wind hits the face of a cliff side or the side of a hilltop. When wind hits a slope surface, the direction of the wind is forced upward generating lift.

Owl
I’ve never flown anything, ever… and this Owl is fantastic fun, left to its own devices its really stable, but with enough control surface to be quite acrobatic! Obviously i’ve crashed it alot, having never flown anything, but its still good to go. Really enjoyable.

i am enjoying flying my little beetle in the back yard, thank you MB for a great design and hoping to build the bigger version of the beetle in the near future, please 🙂

genius
genius simple design that works, truly light weight fun, do be careful if you will be using lamination film for wing covering to use low heat to prevent the wings from bending, using tissue covering you will be just fine
