The
Gentle Lady ARF
sailplane was designed to be a gentle trainer for the beginning R/C modeler, yet to possess competition
capability in the hands of the experienced glider pilot. As a very efficient machine, she reacts quickly to rising air ( called lift,
or thermals). To stay in the thermal, she can circle very tightly without falling off. The model has good penetration into the wind and
can really “cruise” when desired. Before starting to build, read through these instructions and familiarize yourself with this booklet.
The
Gentle Lady ARF
can be flown a number of ways: hand tow, high-start, slope soar, or power. The simplest method is hand
tow, which resembles towing a kite into the air. High-start is a combination of elastic cord and tow line. When stretched, the high-
start will gently tow the model up to an altitude of several hundred feet from which a flight of three minutes or more in dead air ( no
Thermals) can be obtained. A variation of the high-start is the more expensive powered winch, popular with glider clubs. If you live
near unobstructed hills or ridges, slope soaring is easily possible, so long as you have a suitable landing area. Hand launching the
model off the upwind side of the slope, directly into the wind, will enable you, with practice, to soar back and forth along the slope
in the rising air for as long as the wind remains. Finally, the use of power is an excellent option, and we include a firewall and
instructions on typical installations.
