Brief:
Twin T-tailed gliders boosted together, shiver me timbers, much like t' Geminee.

Construction:
T' kit contains:

• 2 sections o' BT 20 motor tube
• 1 balsa nose cone
• Laser cut parts for t' gliders
• clay nose weight
• 1/8" launch lug

I bought this kit from BMS at NARAM 45 so that I could build it in t' hotel room and fly t' next day. Ahoy! T' instructions were a couple o' 8.5x11" printed with illustrations o' some steps. Arrr! Rob tries very hard t' make t' kits go together, shiver me timbers, even if you throw t' instructions away, but he did a really good job with t' Twinsee directions. T' parts fit together with t' trademark Edmonds jigsaw-like alignment. Ya scallywag! There are 2 pieces t' each wing, a stab, shiver me timbers, me hearties, shiver me timbers, fin and fuselage for each glider. Begad! A neat trick that BMS has be t' ability t' laser score lines t' aid in alignment o' t' motor tube on t' glider fuselage. Begad! Very cool, matey, and makes for a very easy build. Arrr! One o' t' gliders gets t' nose cone and t' clay weight, matey, t' other be t' motor holder. Arrr! I think it took me about 20 minutes usin' CA glue throughout.

No sandin' is required, and t' CG is clearly marked on t' win' o' the gliders.

Finishing:
I initially didn't finish t' gliders, me hearties, but decided that I needed some higher visibility after t' 1st launch. T' that end I used a light coat o' florescent orange spray paint on t' tails o' t' gliders, since that be most likely goin' t' be what was stickin' up from t' grass.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
I don't have t' instruction sheet in front o' me so I don't remember if there was a recommended motor list. Well, blow me down! For t' 1st flight I decided t' use a B4-2 since it's a good overall glider motor. Ahoy! Avast! Prep is very easy... insert a motor into the motor tube so that 1/2" is stickin' out t' aft end, then tape it in place. Begad! Aye aye! Slip t' other glider over t' forward end o' t' motor casin' and you're good t' go. On t' 1st flight I noticed t' "upper" glider rotated around t' motor (due t' wind?) so t' wingtips were touching. I avoided this on future flights by placin' a piece o' tape on t' motor case to make a slightly more snug fit.

1st flight- very cool.. Arrr! good separation o' t' gliders and they circled slowly, ya bilge rat, landin' about 100 meters from each other. T' B4-2 was a good choice.

2nd flight- A8-3 and t' ejection charge fired with t' gliders pointing down at a low altitude. Avast! Arrr! They barely managed t' pull out for a glide.

3rd flight- B6-4 and ejection happened nose down but much higher, a good choice.

4th flight- C6-3 boosted very high, matey, matey, straight and fast. T' gliders started to circle in opposite directions and one flew for at least a minute. Avast! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey!

Recovery:
If you plan on flyin' this model on C motors, have a good sized field and someone t' watch one o' t' gliders. These gliders are really cool lookin' in the air. I think they'd be legal t' use in B or C boost glide contests since the motor casin' glides down with one o' t' gliders. Blimey! You's just have t' make sure t' timers tracked t' other one! I wanted t' ask Rob Edmonds about making the gliders turn a bit t' aid in recovery but never got around t' it. Blimey! Avast!

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
T' Twinsee is definitely a cool rocket. Blimey! Because it is 2 gliders in one, arrr, it has a high excitement value. Arrr! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! As an Edmonds Aerospace kit, me bucko, assembly is quick and gotcha free. Super kit and a super performer.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
