Description

The Genteel Lady 1.2m is the latest sub 250g glider from AngelWing Designs, to compliment their very popular Dune Freak. Yes we know the "Genteel Lady" looks just like a small "Gentle Lady". That is because it is exactly what the designer wanted it to look like, right down to the number of wing ribs. Even the tail surfaces are similar.

So what is different? Apart from the beautifully cut and perfectly fitting balsa parts, the projected wing span is just 1200 mm (47"). The wing uses a modern AG25 airfoil section for a greatly improved glide angle and wider speed range. Also the wing loading is much lower, making this a very light air model that will stay up in the lightest of lift.

6mm x 3mm Basswood spars are utilised top and bottom to take the strain of bungee launches and rough handling by beginners.

Gentile v. Genteel lady

Maybe I didn't read it correctly, but I don't know if this model is Genteel or Gentile Lady because the assembly drawing shows something different and the decal shows something different. In my case, the element: 2.5mm Balsa lower hatch base was incorrectly cut with a laser... When building the model, you can use YT and PDF of the Angelwing Designs construction file to help you build the model. I was looking for just such a thermal glider, with a wing for slow speeds without much wind, rather silent flights. Although, as you can see on YT, even the sea breeze does not bother this sub250g drone. I am preparing to use a pylon on top of the wing center wing with an electric small motor. I recommend it for flights in small spaces without having to maintain the A1/A3 category.
