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 .
