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 specic 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
