Based on the real glider ASK 13, I build this simple model, with the technical details mostly like the real one.
The optimal speed for the best glide performance is 80 km/h (50 mph). Use the trim for easy speed control. Be sure to start already at some height as it doesn't have an engine.
- Glide ratio @80 km/h: 27:1
- Minimum/stall speed: 60 km/h (37 mph)
If you want this glider with a small engine, look at my recent posts!
