Step 12: The Callibration and FAQ
Well For Calibration you Need To Know A llittle Of Dihedral Angle Is easy (just The Basics)
Just imagine a Thing Like This
||
°°°°°° V °°°°°°
That's Dihedral Angle ,Prety Easy Huh?
For Callibrating It Just Look At The Front Of It , If It Looks Like That Little Schematic (Dihedral Angle)
If It Doesn't, Move Or Fold The Wingtips Or Maybe The Wing Or The Body So It Will Look Like The Dihedral Schematic
FAQ
Questionmy Glider Goes To The Left (Right)
answer Make Longer The Wing Tip To Right ( left )
Question My Glider Climbs But It Crashes
