New Releases in Gliding Bookshop !!!
If you had the chance to fly a Duo Discus... I bet you fell in love with this beautiful glider. Revell gives us the opportunity to bring one of them at home, yet, at a 1:32 scale but with all kind of details. The model is based on the Duo Discus X and offers a choice between 2 different wing tips: winglets or extensions. The cabin is completely realistic and the glider once mounted has a wingspan of 62 cm. It's fantastic!
Bernard Eckey has taken notice of all the suggestions received after the publication of the first edition of his book and now presents Advanced Soaring Made Easy 2nd Edition. New chapters and high-quality photographs are added in this 2nd edition, so widely revised and expanded (it has twice as many pages as its predecessor), that it is practically a new book; where subjects such as mental preparation, flight analysis, competition, mountain wave flying, etc are deeply developed. If you liked the first edition, do not miss the reading of this new book!
GLIDING CALENDAR 2012……AMAZING !!!
Once more, we are happy to announce the spectacular calendar of Claus-Dieter with the best soaring photos. Its dimensions (640 x 480 mm) and quality turn it into a different poster every month, a window to impossible flights....
Scale Sailplanes
Another recent element is the scale models of gliders we are trying to gather for you. Some are of special historical interest as they have flown in our country; like the Baby, Foka, Blanik, etc. and others are simply spectacular like the ASK-21 and the LS-8a, both with more than 50 cm. span.
