If you want to read a really good book on stuff like Reynolds numbers and low-drag buckets you should read Martin Simon's book, Model Aircraft Aerodynamics. It covers models but Martin Simons also wrote most of the books about vintage sailplanes as well.

This is the fourth edition of the book, and as it says on the cover, the book as reached a far wider readership than ever imagined when the first edition was printed. Martin Simons was a senior lecturer in education at the University of Adelaide and has written many books on vintage gliders. He holds a gold C badge with two diamonds and his contributions to gliding have been noted with international awards." _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
