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 .
