A traditionally built '100S' class thermal soaring glider A radio-controlled glider is a type of radio-controlled aircraft that normally does not have any form of propulsion. They are able to sustain continuous flight by exploiting the lift produced by slopes and thermals , controlled remotely from the ground with a transmitter .

The son of Rod Smith, an early inventor of R/C equipment, Mark began building hand-launch gliders in the 6th or 7th grade. In his teens he followed his father's footsteps into R/C gliders. He later went on to designing R/C gliders like his 100-inch-wingspan Windfree [1] along with the 72-inch-wingspan Wanderer which were the best-sellers for ...
RC Scale model aircraft can be of any type of steerable airship lighter-than-air (LTA) aviation craft, or more normally, of the heavier-than-air fixed wing glider/sailplane, fixed-wing single or multi-engine aircraft, or rotary-wing aircraft such as autogyros or helicopters.
It is large and powerful enough to be used as a glider tug and parts are packed with the kit to allow the Mentor to be used as such. In 2010, the company introduced its first helicopter model, the Funcopter. The model features an Elapor fuselage and a direct drive rotor system, eliminating the need for the drive gears and one-way bearings found ...

Schweizer is known for its popular line of gliders (sailplanes), the earliest of which (the model SGP 1-1) was produced in 1930. Although very few of the early gliders were built, later models gained popularity, such as the SGS 2-8 and 2-12, which were adopted by the U.S. Army Air Corps for training as the TG-2 and TG-3, respectively.
