The classic image of sailplane flying is that it's very relaxed and very quiet. After all, most sailplanes have no engine. Some can fly at high speeds and perform dramatic aerobatics. Sailplane contests, such as cross-country and pylon racing, give pilots the opportunity to match skills against those of their peers.
Modern sailplane flying involves speed, endurance and many other challenges.
Characterized by a standard rudder and a stabilizer mounted on the fuselage. The stabilizer is mounted at the top of the rudder, where it is less affected by the wake created when air flows over the model's wing. This design can be difficult to build. The stabilizer is bent into an upward V shape, and there is no rudder. A radio with mixing capabilities is usually required.
