Walkalong glider

Walk along limb (translated as flying through Nebenherlaufen ) also air shaft sliding is called in English, this designation makes it less clear that there is a model flight technique in which the lift is generated by the rotating with the shaft of the pilot. This very lightweight gliders in flight an upward flow are exposed, which produces the concurrent pilot by an inclined surface. Spectacular images arise, when the pilot operates the model only on the emerging body of air at its shaft through the space. The technique corresponds to the slope wind used in air sports gliding. The technique is particularly suitable as an indoor flying.

History

The technology has already been patented in 1950 as a toy. Imitators found the method by the fact that corresponding slider can be produced with very little effort from ultra-light materials ( polystyrene) and be set for the model aircraft very quickly spectacular successes that became popular on internet video portals.
