Star of the show at the Saturday WSR Launch in Dayton. Loaded with a 1/2A6-2 just so I could keep it on the field. Boost was stable with slight windcocking behind us and to the left. Ejection sounded like the typical shotgun blast and the Wombat did a backflip, then immediately settled into a circular glide path. At one point it looked like it was going to straighten out heading in the direction of the cornfield to our left, which would not have been fun, but it flipped again and began flying in longer loops back toward us. The only thing I'd done to influence the glide was a double glue fillet on the left side, and that seemed to make a difference. The glide fluttered a couple of times, which seemed to just slow things down a little. The last flutter happened within three feet of the ground and it dropped gently to the ground. Quite impressive, and now that I have what appears to be a lifetime supply of the tape, I'm thinking upscale. Incidentally, the tape I found was at Home Depot and is Nashua brand. Easy to work with and highly recommended.
