4.5.2 Flight
At a safe altitude, experiment with the air brakes and note loss of
height at various speeds.
This sailplane has very well balanced flight characteristics and
controls. The rate of roll from 45
o
bank at 1.4 times stalling speed is
3.5 sec.
On the other hand, it is possible to fly with free controls in straight
and level or circling flight without the sailplane changing its attitude
or speed. All control movements require only very low operating
forces.
