Figure 27: The proof that the Genoma can fly at very low altitude. And “No fear, no fun” is not my motto. ailerons are in the opposite direction so as to maintain a flat attitude. The plane is turning on its wing root, like a car with the hand brake. A bit of pitch when being upwind, then aileron order to restart the turn... When done in the very core of the lift, the plane has a “vertical” trajectory... Interesting, no? Another refinement I’m using now is the fourth axe management. I play with the camber of the wing all along the flight. Instead of using pitching throttle (left stick), I prefer to use the camber one placed on the right stick. The speed variation is as with the left stick but the plane fuselage remains horizontal. This is marvelous during circling. You “push” when you are going upwind, and pull when going downwind. The pitching axis is used to maintain the circling radius and the camber one manage the flight speed. The plane then circles in a very smooth and regular circle without having much pitching order to be provided. And the fuselage remains in the same position (horizontal) which is once again fundamental to better feel the thermal. If you had used the pitch, the fuselage attitude would have changed due to your pitching action… (See Figure 28) 30 R/C Soaring Digest
