Ok, Ok, I found the article I've read it in: SE Modeler, July 2000, Vol. 5, n° 4, p. 26: Sailplane setup: Thumbs the word ! by Mark Triebes. I can quote the relevant part if you want, but since you might have the article, I won't for now (if somebody wants me, I can send a scan); he does state

From MSu-jaffee, Boeing will survive . . . Lockheed would probably not have, and the resulting loss of expertise, knowledge/ability base, plus a second source for competitive bidding... all those things were too precious to the industry's future to lose . . . AND Joe would have lost his job.

RE: [RCSE] tip aileron theory (was 6 servo+stylus)

A comment from the scale sailplane arena: A flat turn as opposed to a steeply banked turn simply put, keeps a larger footprint or projected wing area pointed at the lift which we all know is going up. If your in a large area of strong lift it doesn't matter much either way. I always use the

RE: [RCSE] tip aileron theory (was 6 servo+stylus)

Don's explanation of using crossed controls and what happens then seems satifactory to me; as I understand it, he used crossed controls in some aircraft to make a coordinated turn. How about the original point Daryl made: the use of anybody wanting to fly a flatter turn (cross-controlling would

Re: [RCSE] tip aileron theory (was 6 servo+stylus)

Good full-scale practice, once centered in the thermal, is to simply check whether the thermal has a much faster core by making tighter coordinated turns (obviously with steeper bank angle) for a couple of turns and see if the variometer indicates a higher rate of ascent. If so, try turning even
