The other important parameter in glider performance is the
glide angle. This is stated as a ratio, i.e. from a particular
altitude the model flies such and such a distance. The glide
angle increases as wing loading rises, and at the same time -
of course - the model's airspeed increases. This becomes
necessary if you wish to fly in relatively strong winds, and
when you need "energy retention" for flying aerobatics.
For thermal flying you need a good glide angle too, as this is
the key to flying across areas of "sink" (the opposite of a
thermal) quickly, so that you can seek out another thermal.
Ballasting, as required for the EasyGlider and similar
lightweight models, is not required with the Cularis.
Safety
Safety is the First Commandment when flying any model
aircraft. Third party insurance should be considered a basic
essential. If you join a model club suitable cover will usually
be available through the organisation. It is your personal re-
sponsibility to ensure that your insurance is adequate.
Make it your job to keep your models and your radio control
system in perfect order at all times. Check the correct char-
ging procedure for the batteries used in your RC set. Make
use of all sensible safety measures and precautions which are
advised for your system. An excellent source of practical
accessories is the MULTIPLEX main catalogue, as our pro-
ducts are designed and manufactured exclusively by practi-
sing modellers for other practising modellers.
Always fly with a responsible attitude. You may think that
flying low over other people's heads is proof of your piloting
skill; others know better. The real expert does not need to
prove himself in such childish ways. Let other pilots know that
this is what you think too. Always fly in such a way that you do
not endanger yourself or others. Bear in mind that even the
best RC system in the world is subject to outside interference.
No matter how many years of accident-free flying you have
under your belt, you have no idea what will happen in the next
minute.

The fascination of it all
Model flying is, and always has been, a fascinating hobby,
and a thoroughly enjoyable way of spending your leisure
hours. Take your time to get to know your new Cularis / Cula-
ris Electric really well. Plan to spend many hours in the open
air, where you will learn to appreciate the model's excellent
performance and its docile handling. You can join us in en-
joying one of the few types of sport which combine high tech-
nology, manual dexterity, and sophisticated personal skills.
You can fly alone or with friends, and at the same time you
can enjoy the pleasures of nature - treats which have become
rare in today's world.
We - the MULTIPLEX team - wish you many hours of pleasu-
re in building and flying your new model. Happy landings!
