	Australian Kite Association - Soaring
		The bird that soars in a gale has a deeper concavity of wing than one that soars in a moderate breeze, from which I deduce that the velocity of rotation of the vortex must have somwe point of maximum efficiency.
		Each form of soaring wing is evolved by the average velocity of wind in the latitudes frequented by the bird.
		Either the soaring machine must be started from such a height that the weight can be approximately adjusted to the existing wind; or, the weight must automatically adjust the negative angle of the propeller as the wind increases.

		When, for the third time, the Chevalier repeated, “The albatross has flown the coop,” the little girl, with a mysterious, shrewd gleam in her eye, pointed to a dilapidated, peeling cottage standing at the foot of the garden.
		“That is Jean-Marie Lebris, the inventor of the Albatross.”
		The Albatross gradually sank in altitude, until it gently came to rest on the packed dirt at the northern end of the field.

	FLYING MACHINES - William Paul Butusov (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Whatever the truth of that assertion, he did construct a large gliding machine in 1896 with a wing area of 266 sq.
		The launching trestle was a substantial piece of construction as well as a source of trouble in launching the Albatross glider, for at least two attempted launches failed due to the failure of the trestle to allow the Albatross to slide down and take off.
		In addition to the name Albatross, the design of Butusov's Albatross was remniscent of the 1867 Artificial Albatross of Jean Marie Le Bris.

		This machine was of a new breed, awe-inspiring in its beauty, a Cirrus or ASW, as it were, in an age of sticks and gussets and wires.
		She was sleek, with a polished, natural finish mahogany pod, a slender aluminium alloy tubular boom, carrying a tail spangled with the Stars and Stripes.
		The Impact of the Baby Albatross on the advanced state of design and soaring as we now know it is felt to this day.

		This prodigious machine is directed and guided by a tail seven palmi long, which is attached to the knees and ankles of the inventor by leather straps; by stretching out his legs, either to the right or to the left, he moves the machine in whichever direction he pleases....
		The machine in question had a 10 foot span, and was 2 ft. across in the widest part of the wing; the length of tail was 3 ft. 6 ins., and the span of tail in the widest part 22 ins., the total sustaining area being about 14 sq.
		At the outset the machine was fastened to the cart by a rope running through the rails on which the machine rested, and secured by a slip knot on Le Bris's own wrist, so that only a jerk on his part was necessary to loosen the rope and set the machine free.

		Definitely an interesting sight, but not quite as exhilarating as the nearby mountains, covered in the golds and reds of their mid-October foliage, a vivid contrast to the green valleys mixed in with the landscape.
		It was a merger of visual ecstasy coupled with the exhilarating quietude and freedom of being airborne in a vehicle that sailed the skies with such seeming ease.
		Soaring, it is said, differs from power flight the way that sailing differs from power boating.

		Then there was the story about him flying in an international soaring meet down in Argentina and landing out in the bush country in a swamp and spending three days getting back to civilization with stories of gauchos, horses, and helicopter retrieves.
		He is very active in soaring in the Ann Arbor area and has broad experience in all aspects of soaring.
		He explains that the decision-making mode that has carried you through hours of successful cross-country soaring flight is in fact downright dangerous when it comes time to recognize that the end of the flight may be very near, and the flight is ending at a place that is not wholly of your choosing.

	Lawrence Hargrave: Australian Aviation Pioneer
		Once in the air, the wings spread and are tilted forward "causing the machine to move, as a bird, onward and downward." A fan is used to help the aircraft "soar upward", while the steering is done by a rudder at both ends.
		Frost's flying machine was 31ft long and made of bamboo, canvas and wire mesh, with hydrogen-filled pouches to attain "neutral buoyancy".
		Although he repaired his machine after hitting the tree, it was later ripped from its moorings and damaged by gales, apparently in the autumn of 1896.

		That summed up what kind of day it was, and what a beautiful machine the Duo Discus is! BTW, I wore nothing but sweat pants, a tee shirt and sneakers and I was perfectly comfortable.
		Any way, the winds quit mid-afternoon, also as forecasted, and the soaring was so-so up to 3,500 ft. No one landed out, lots of people (probably 15 ships, about 9 or 10 privates), most stayed for the BBQ.
		Nice if it relates to soaring, and I do serve as editor, so I will avoid publishing anything that is slanderous, but short of that, why don't you send some email to me.

		Faial is a pleasant volcanic island, just the top-most tip of a mountain range soaring up from the abyss, a little part of what might once have been that mysterious place they called Atlantis.
		And, how fortunate we are to have had these 284 days, with the Albatross wheeling across our wake to jog our memories and to help us consider if we wish to return to madness or to alter course.
		The Albatross is known to feed on dead squid which float to the surface at the end of their life cycle.

		The final part of the equation involves photographs of the full-size: whether you want to apply intricate detail or merely get the general colour scheme right, you can't do it without looking at a full-size example.
		Now, it may be that there's a full-size machine on your doorstep that you can photograph to death, but in my experience it's not very likely.
		When you look at Scale Model research's catalogue it's not too difficult to believe their claim to be the world's largest collection of aircraft documentation, and although the emphasis is mostly on powered aircraft there's still a total of some 170 sailplanes photo sets plus 50 odd motor-gliders.

		The machine was duly removed from the scrub and work put in hand immediately on the reconditioning.
		On Sunday, April 12, the Club machine once again took the field - unfortunately it did so in more than one sense on the second flight with the result that the for part of the skid was smashed.
		This combination of attributes made the Scud an excellent soaring machine in marginal conditions, and on a good soaring day it could be quite difficult to get it down in a hurry.

		It passed a few feet out from the windows of the hide, turned somewhere behind us and came back past the window, landing into the wind with flaps curved and feet extended to alight with precise control a foot or two from the infant.
		After encountering the living flying albatross at close quarters the day before, it was interesting to see the preserved one in the avian gallery in the museum, and to see the massive size of the beak on the bird.

		But with oil prices soaring and worries rising about the reliability of gas piped from Russia, Europe must depend heavily on that great industrial-age relic, coal: a cheap, plentiful fuel, but one that emits twice the carbon dioxide of natural gas.

		Apart from the traditional cross on the apex of the stole, the piece carries four symbolic design elements, two of them repeated on both faces.
		The central design on the right face of the stole shows an albatross soaring above the sea, an appropriate symbol of the Holy Spirit of Aotearoa.
		The corresponding design on the left face shows a jewelled cross, which represents the resurrection life of Christ in the church today.
