Do you want to get more performance from your glider?

Do want it to fly farther and faster with less pilot work load?

Do you want to have your plane 90% tuned before the first flight?

Of course you do, and that's why I made the DVD Performance Tuning For Gliders.

I get a lot of questions from customers and guys at my flying site on how to tune and set up their glider for better performance, and frankly, they needed to learn how to do this themselves.

Tuning is not difficult once you learn the proceedures, and when you see me set up a variety of planes live on this DVD, you will see how easy it is.

No matter what kind of plane you own, I guarantee that if you apply my tuning techniques to it, it will fly better.

Did you know that most kits and ARF's come with little or no set up information, and if it is included, it is often incorrect or too conservative? In this DVD, I take a popular basic intermediate ARF glider that flew poorly, and with a number of simple changes and modifications, made it into a great flying plane.

I also show you how to 'shop tune' higher-end gliders including v-tails so you can be confident that your first flight will be smooth and problem-free.

Things You Will Learn More About:

• Tuning tips for both slope and thermal flying • Learn to build and rig your model right the first time • Learn to use a center of gravity stand • Learn to use analog and digital Incidence meters • Program your computer radio for maximum flexibility • Learn to fix common flying quality problems • Learn how to properly set center of gravity and decalage • Learn to optimize V-Tail sailplanes • Proper tow hook location for high launches • Solve adverse yaw problems • Dive test flight demos

A unique part of this DVD are the flight demo's which graphically illustrate how different center of gravity and aileron differential setting effect a planes flight characteristics. You will see how to test for correct CG using the dive test and inverted dive test. Once you see the demonstrations, you will be able to replicate these tests with your glider.

I guarantee this will be the most useful training DVD in your collection and like all of our other films, you can try it risk-free for 30 days. If you don't learn enough killer tips worth $24.95, send it back for a refund.

With our 30 day money back guarantee, you can invest in this terrific DVD risk-free. If you don't learn a ton of valuable flying techniques, I'll refund your purchase price, no questions asked, none.

  2. terrific

    Today, after watching it and taking a couple of notes, I went to the Hobby shop and bought a few tools that you recommended. I found that my Competition bird had it's starboard wingtip a full inch out in front of the other. No wonder it took so much trim to straighten it out. I also found that the Decalage was nearly 2 degrees negative. OUCH!! I fixed both problems and evened out the control throws. I didn't have time to check everything so I still need to continue "Fine Tuning" this beauty. Instead of her dragging her tail feathers thru the air and needing elevator to overcome it, the tail actually worked like it was supposed to. After Mike Lee trimmed out my Breeze, I immediately got a 25 minute, 36 second flight in light lift. I think it helped. Hehehehehehehe This is truth, ask Mike. Sadly the competition will get better if they buy PT.- W. Rhinehart


  3. Very good

    Posted by Keith on 25th Aug 2009

    I received the new Tuning DVD a couple of weeks ago but didn't get a chance to view it until this weekend. Awesome job!! I've heard of, or done most of what was covered, but I never put it all together as a preflight stand-alone activity. And you gave me some new uses for my incidence meter. Great photography and sound as usual. -Keith


  4. Nice!

    Got my copy yesterday. Goes over most things I knew, but realised I never put in to action!! I Must try harder My only criticism is the lack of a decent menu to jump to a particular section -Vincent


  5. Terrific

    Posted by Diesel on 25th Aug 2009

    Thanks for putting this together, Paul. I agree with the other comments. It is a terrific DVD. While I already knew about the different components of trimming, the DVD does a wonderful job bringing a process and logic to trimming a plane. I've been applying it to my Graphite 2e and have already uncovered some problems that would have taken me ages to identify with the random approach I've taken in the past. BTW, I watched a lot of it with my 3 month old daughter. Somehow, she found your voice kind of hypnotic ...Looking forward to more how-tos. -Diesel
