My latest eRockets order had the nose cones for this build, so I finished it earlier this week. After being flooded out of work Sunday night, the last two days were beautiful, and today I actually dragged my most recent glider builds out for some glide tests. I tested two more Jet Freaks, one Mini Jet Freak and the Mini Bat. All flew well, with the Mini Bat being the most interesting. The Jet Freaks were all pretty straightforward gliders when tossed. All three will be trimmed for a circular glide path before they fly for real. The Mini Bat looped back at me when I tossed it. Might make for an interesting flight if B6-4 Field ever resurfaces.
