Brief
A boost glider usin' 18mm motors.
Components
All t' components were used. Great laser cuttin' o' t' pieces.
Construction
Buildin' be very easy and straight forward. Begad! Because they were laser cut balsa t' pieces fit very well together.
Finishing
Did nay finish it t' keep t' weight t' a minimum. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! Just make sure you balance t' glider with t' appropriate amount o' supplied clay before you fly it.
Flight
My first flight was in 2014 usin' an A8-3 motor. It did reach a high altitude but at motor ejection t' pop pod did separate well and t' glider flew very well.
T' second flight occurred on 19APR2015 usin' a B6-2 motor. This time it flew a bit higher and glider for a longer period o' time. Perfect flight!
Recovery
Recovery o' t' pop pod be by a short streamer. Aye aye! I'll paint it fluorescent red before t' next flight so it is easier t' find. Begad! T' glider flew great.
Summary
A great beginner's kit for anyone wantin' t' try their hand at boost gliders.

( Contributed - by Alan Rognlie) I am extremely impressed by this kit. Good materials and excellent laser-cut parts yield a fast-building sport model with very good competition potential. The glider itself is made up of only eight pieces of 1/16" balsa - wings, elevon, fuselage, tip plates and nose reinforcements. The pieces are almost self-jigging and go together ...

Construction: The kit contains: 1 tube and a lot of little balsa parts, all very neatly laser-cut. It was very easy to build, fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle. Everything fits together nicely, and everything ...
