The longest soaring flight in a sailplane was achieved by Klaus Ohlmann, who flew for 3,008.5 kilometers (1,864.5 miles) in a Schempp-Hirth Nimbus-4DM on January 10, 2003, in Argentina. This remarkable flight utilized favorable weather conditions and strong thermals, showcasing the capabilities of modern sailplanes and the skill of the pilot. Ohlmann's record remains a significant achievement in the world of gliding and soaring.

Where is the longest bone in a bald eagle?
The longest bone in a bald eagle is the humerus, which is located in its wing. This bone plays a crucial role in supporting flight by providing leverage and strength for wing movement. The length and structure of the humerus are adapted to enable powerful and efficient flying capabilities, essential for hunting and soaring.

How do you fly a RC plane?
A sailplane has the same flight controls as an airplane. Ailerons to bank the wings, a rudder to keep the nose going straight through the air, an elevator to raise and lower the nose. Some sailplanes also have flaps on the wings to allow the sailplane to fly slowly. Sailplanes have one flight control that only jets have. Spoilers are devices on the wings that the pilot can raise into the airstream to cause the wing to lose lift. Sailplanes are so aerodynamically efficient that they need spoilers to help the sailplane lose altitude for landing. Sailplanes can stay in the air without an engine by utilizing rising air currents. Even though the sailplane is always sinking slowly, if the pilot can stay in pockets of air that are rising faster than the sailplane is sinking, the sailplane will climb and gain altitude. The pilot can then use that altitude to glide and search for more rising air. By gliding forward from one source of rising air to another, a sailplane can cover great distances. Flights of over 300 miles are not uncommon and the world's record for distance is an unbelievable 1,362 miles. The Soaring Society of America has a good website to use to get more information. www.ssa.org
