A special focus of this book is differential thrust control, a unique and innovative method of maneuvering an aircraft without the need for traditional control surfaces like rudders or ailerons. By precisely adjusting the speed of two motors, differential thrust allows for smooth turns and efficient flight-perfect for those looking to build or modify RC gliders without adding complex mechanical linkages.
Topics covered include:
The fundamentals of two-channel RC gliders and their components
Methods for upgrading stock models for better performance
Maintenance and troubleshooting common issues
Step-by-step guides for converting hand-thrown gliders into RC models
Detailed explanations of differential thrust setups, including motor selection and battery choices
Whether you are looking to revive an old model, push the limits of your glider's performance, or explore the exciting world of DIY RC conversions, this book will serve as a comprehensive and practical resource.
