WANDERER 72 - DXF LASER CUT FILES

About this Plan

Wanderer 72. Radio control soarer. For 2 channel RC. Wing area 553 sqin, Weight with radio 25oz

The Wanderer is a 72 inch span sailplane manufactured by Mark's Models. The kit is recommended, by the manufacturer, as a trainer for the novice. With 553 square inches of wing area there is plenty of surface to keep the Wanderer airborne even in the lightest of lift. The Wanderer utilizes a flat bottom airfoil for good penetration and ease of assembly.

The wing uses a constant chord center section with double taper tip panels forming the polyhedral. Two channels are used controlling rudder and elevator; and there is plenty of room in the nose for most radio installations including bricks.

The key to the Wanderer's good flight performance is its ability to turn extremely well. It is very easy to work light thermals and land on the slope with a sailplane that turns so well. The wings are very strong and have been tested in attempts to dive out of lift as well as numerous stunts on the slope.

The beginner should have no trouble flying the Wanderer as it is very stable, responsive, and forgiving. The Wanderer can be slowed down considerably for spot landing or training, but with a touch of down, it moves quickly and penetrates well.

The Wanderer is an overall excellent sailplane for both slope and thermal flying. It should be a good trainer for the novice, as well as a good inexpensive sport plane for the expert.
