LAK Genesis 2
for FSX
Thank you for downloading this aircraft designed using G-Max by David
Rowberry.
****************************************
The GENESIS 2 is a modern Standard Class racing sailplane of unusual
configuration,it is made of composite materials, with a self-stable wing,
utilising the latest design and aeronautical construction technology.
The Genesis wing is naturally stable. It therefore does not require a
horizontal stabilizer to compensate for its instability. The small
horizontal surface found at the top of the Genesis' fin is used only to
control the glider's angle of incidence. The wing has reverse sweep in
order to put the variable masses close to the centre of gravity, and
incorporates water ballast tanks. Thanks to the small size of the
fuselage, the total drag of the machine is less than that of other,
conventional gliders of the same generation. The Genesis is spin
resistant and has very sound handling qualities at low speed. Its
performance is better than that of many Standard class gliders, the goal
sought from the beginning having been to "do better than Schempp-Hirth's
Discus."
Genesis was created by the sailplane engineer Jim Marske, with Robert
Mudd assisting with control system design, cockpit layout and production
engineering. John Ronce designed the wing airfoils. The original design of
GENESIS was refined by "Sportine aviacija" (LAK). It has been certified
under The International Joint Aviation Requirements program.
I owe thanks to Bob De Leon , who's aircraft this model depicts, for
providing the information , Max Roodveldt and the guys at Flight Design
Studio forums for the codes which I have employed in some of these
animations , and Ian Forster-Lewis for the L/D gauge code .
Installation
--------------
Either unzip to a temporary folder, (and then transfer) or straight to
your Flt Sim AIRCRAFT folder .
The aircraft will appear listed under Genesis2 .

Flying
---------
See Genesis-ref data in the "Documents" folder
If you have not yet found it "Sim Probe" is a ridge lift generator
available from ... http://www.virtualsoaring.org ...that greatly enhances
the FSX gliding experience .
