Unlike the former two components, the two ailerons must be in inverse (one up and one down) to work However, if disproportionate forces impact on the two ailerons, the aircraft would deflect from its course or possibly even roll over Hence, they were the ht

Wendy had once asked His Majesty why he had designed the ailerons when the rudder could also change the flight direction He explained that every movement of the aircraft required the cooperation of the three control surfaces in combination If the flyer only moved the rudder, the body of the aircraft would tend to ht turn, the flyer must pull the elevator down to keep it stable

Thus, he needed a detailed testing result to write a Flight Manual that could really guide people He needed to find the answer to questions like: In different circumstances, how is the orbit maneuver controlled? How does the wind direction impact the aircraft? What is the deficiency of the aircraft when controlling it? and so forth Only by clearly learning this information could he make a truly reliable aircraft

"The ailerons seem okay too" Tilly patted Wendy's shoulder "I'll leave the rest to you"

Wendy felt her heart beat faster She glanced at Roland in the distance before turning to the soldier "I'm ready, loosen the fixer"

"Yes, please watch out!" The soldiers reen," Wendy whispered in her heart Although she did not exactly understand what those words meant, she would still say it, since His Majesty said it could bring luck

With a gentle shake, the glider was pushed onto the runway

Then it descended

The wheel creaked as it rolled on the runway, and the aircraft started to shake Wendy felt as if the sea at the other end was approaching her as she raced down the runway towards it

For a moment, her heart was in her mouth

"What did she need to do next?"

Wendy panicked when she saw that the glider had passed half of the runway yet showed no signs of flying

"The wind!" Tilly shouted

Yes, the wind The speed generated on the runas not fast enough toboth of them She needed to create a stable and ed in her head, she took action The ic spiral worked and fors

With that, the harsh creaking noise subsided It was as if the glider no longer had any weight Before Wendy could figure out how it happened, the glider had rushed off the cliff

For a short period of tiht It felt like so her down into her seat

As her body was drawn back, she could not help but pull the main lever down

The aircraft's nose responded to her coed She could no longer see the earth full of the leaves and withered grass Even the vast whirlpool-like sea was alht Instead, the clear blue sky filled her viehilst the shiht forced her to narrow her eyes

For a ainst the light

It felt so unconstrained She finally understood why His Majesty said that the aircraft was totally different from a hot air balloon

But just a few seconds later, Wendy found that the sound of the wind had subsided

The glider's nose was still high, but its speed no longer allowed it to ascend Tithen the wind underthe entire aircraft upside down

"Too much wind!" Tilly shouted

Before Wendy had tilider had fallen like a stone
