Operating instructions
The world-famous Wasserkuppe - the glider flyer‘s mountain - offers
launching facilities in almost all compass directions.
The robbe model flying site offers ideal facilities:
open flying field, large take-off / landing strip, and
- especially - good thermal activity.
A little theory is also provided.
The robust Arcus Sport thermal / slope soarer (Art. No. 3188) features a
four-flap wing. Ideal for practising flying with camber-changing flaps.

Getting started in slope flying
Wasserkuppe (Rhön)
You learn the basics of controlling a
model aircraft at the slope and in
thermals. You will practise ying using
what is known as a Trainer system. At
any time the tutor can transfer and regain
control of the model aircraft. This is a
completely safe and very intensive way of
learning. The intensive course goes into
greater detail on specic phases of ight,
e.g. launching, slope soaring, circling,
thermalling, landing etc., with theoretical
and practical instruction. The aim is safe
control of the model during initial solo
ights at the Wasserkuppe.
Requirements: basic skills of controlling a
model glider are an advantage.
Service:supervision by a model ying
tutor of the Wasserkuppe ying school.
Flying practice generally well away from
the most heavily used launch areas.
Training based on equipment loaned from
the Wasserkuppe ying school: robbe
Arcus Sonic and robbe/Futaba systems
used in wireless Trainer mode.
Dates: May - September
