About product

A hand-launched glider named L-410 Turbolet

A hand-launched glider is the simplest category of flying models: it has no power and no remote control, and only a throw of the arm gets it into the air. That is exactly why it tends to be the first choice for anyone who wants to try out how a model behaves in flight without buying a transmitter and a motor. This item refers by its name to the silhouette of a Czech twin-engined aircraft.

The real subject: the aircraft from Kunovice

The L-410 Turbolet is a short-haul transport aircraft with a high wing and a pair of turboprop engines, built in Kunovice. It was created for operations from short and unpaved strips that larger airliners cannot reach, and it spread to dozens of countries. For anyone interested in aviation it is attractive because it is a design of domestic origin with an unmistakable fuselage shape.

How to handle a hand-launched glider

Trimming decides the most: a center of gravity moved by a few millimeters turns the flight from a dive into calm gliding. It is trimmed with a small weight at the front and with test throws from a low height over a soft surface. Launch it slightly into the wind, with the throw going upward and gently away from the body. You will enjoy it most in calm air and over a grassy area that softens any hard landing.

Who will find it useful

  • beginners after a first experience with a flying model
  • parents looking for something to enjoy together on a meadow or a field
  • modeling clubs, as an undemanding teaching aid
  • admirers of Czech aviation

FAQ

No. A hand-launched glider does without power and without control: a throw of the arm sends it up and it glides on by its own momentum.

Scale is not normally given for hand-launched gliders. The shape tends to be subordinate to flying qualities rather than to an exact reduction of a real aircraft.

Best on an open grassy area in calm weather. Grass softens the landing and open space lowers the risk of the model getting caught.

It is usually the setting of the center of gravity. Move it forward or backward with a small weight and repeat the throws from a low height until the flight calms down.
