The Hover King is set at 40% CG and the hi-start is provided by Bob Galler. Five flights on this Peter Gilbert design from 1950. No problems in flight. I was surprised at how fast this 72" span glider flies with the 13% GOe549 airfoil.<br />

The Thermic 50 should make a nice electric. I happen to have almost all the RC and electric gear needed to fly her at the SAM Champs. (I wonder if someone somewhere has the plan for the pod and boom Thermic 50-X pictured above?)<br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"<span style="background-color: white;">Yesterday at an almost completely empty Balloon Fiesta Park (not normal for a Saturday), Richard maidened his scaled-down <i>Thunder King</i>. It flew right off the building board with no adjustments needed for our conditions- 5 to 10 mph from the south. It came off the hi-start just fine for that wind. It looks great and flies great. We hope to see it in Boulder City."</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"I maidened the <i>Thunder King</i> this morning with Bob's help. A hand toss showed it should glide pretty well. Then we tried a few hi-start launches and those flights went very well: I even caught a thermal on the last launch. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The model weighs 29 oz at a CG of 40% . It's a little heavy and so it will require a strong hi-start in no wind conditions. However, there was a 5 - 10 MPH wind this morning and it launched very nicely. It flies fast being that heavy."</span></div>

<br />
The first is Jack Hiner launching a JETCO Imperial by Don Ellis. Don and Jack were early members of the S.O.A.R. Club in the Chicago Metro area.<br />

Don and Jack are dressed for those brisk midwest conditions. Here's Jack's comment "Reminds me of a SOAR member Don Eliss (spelling) a WW II vet who stretched The Imperial from 100 to 120-inch span. A great flyer with me launching for Don in this photo in the 1970s. A cold Winter day. Don with hat and gloves. Much younger me no hat or gloves."<br />
<br />
ASA Club member Tom Tichy acquired this Imperial and modified it for electric power.<br />

He's really worked on the concept of the tip panel dihedral. I measured our <i>Miss Stick</i> and <i>Oly 650</i> and gave him my results.<br />
<br />
In Richard's own words...<br />
<br />
"Steve,<br />
<br />
Thanks for your dihedral data from two successful models. The <i>Thunder King</i> was originally designed as a towline glider, like the <i>Hover King</i>, and did quite well in contests.<br />
<br />
I have looked at RC-Groups comments about the adequate dihedral angle. Several people (actually more than several) referred to using EDA (Equivalent Dihedral Angle) for sizing the angle. So I looked EDA up and it is based on a plot of Moment Fraction versus Semi-span Station. The Moment Fraction is a measure relating to the rolling moment of the wing and has values of 0 to 1. Semi-span Station of 0 at the root and 1 at the tip. So I did the math using the graph and using the 16° dihedral angle and found the EDA is about 10°. EUREKA!<br />
<br />
The 16° dihedral turns out to be about 3.75 inches per foot, which close to Thornburg's number. (Editor's Note: Richard and I consulted Dave Thornburg's <i><u>Old Buzzard's Soaring Book</u></i> and reviewed his dihedral rules-of-thumb.) Based on my calculation and other people's data including yours, I'm going to slant the tip panels at 16° for the <i>Thunder King</i>.<br />
<br />
Attached (are photos of) the wing with both tips spaced up 5 5/16 inches. They are not glued together yet, I just wanted to see what the wing would look like first.<br />
Richard"<br />

Today Richard Dick and I helped (Well, we offered what assistance we could) to Bob Galler. He maidened his MG 2 after an extensive rebuild of the wing. Bob's only flight of the morning was the result of using a 3S LiPo pack. Bob worried about that power but the big model lifted off and was going well at 3/4 throttle.<br />
<br />
After a graceful landing, Bob admitted that he would really use a 4S pack in competition.<br />
<br />
Congratulations, Bob. You inspire all of us.<br />

From Bob Galler:<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, its done, using covering materials and wood on hand. And even tho I used cap strips top and bottom I used lighter wood at the tip, the new wing half is lighter than the old. Jim Correll would never allow that!<br />
The flying will tell. The new wing is the far one. Need another 4 hours on the electronics back into the fuse and its ready to fly. The weather is not, however. We are expecting the southern end of a storm tomorrow. But nothing like Flagstaff!!<br />

Originally a rubber model. It is Hacker powered, and is the original size, though he said a larger wing is possible. Instead of trying to control twin rudders which is problematical (makes for a tail heavy situation) Jim used ailerons . A great solution for RC electric. And ailerons are legal for SAM competition. When we flew it, it seemed nose heavy or perhaps there's not enough decalage. Jim will make some adjustments and fly it again.<br />
