Metal-gear servos and airfoil designs
Article Abstract:
Servos should be checked periodically for wear and tear. Gear wear will prevent the servo from returning to its center, resulting in a jerky control surface. Meanwhile, airfoil design is best left to specialists. Modelers can check airfoil velocity distributions through lift-versus-drag graphs.

Adjusting camber for flight
Article Abstract:
There are no ideal glider airfoils for all flight conditions. Thus, most pilots prefer a model with variable wing camber because it allows them to alter the airfoil in flight. Proper camber adjustments and the effects of such are described.
