Here is the second FlatCat glider I built to replace the first one that was lost.
It has flown one time at a SCORE launch in Pueblo Colorado, June 2019. At ejection the pop-pod hung up on the glider. I thought it was going to be a 'Red Baron' flight, but, to my surprise, the model settled into a stable glide! When I retrieved the bird, I found that the shock cord/streamer had draped itself over the fuselage right at the glider's CG. Attached is a pre-flight pic...

Good to see the original twin rudder design.

I recall an article GHarry did about switching things around to come up with a Cat Flat glider.
Dang if I can remember where I saw it. |

That plan was in a Sport Rocketry, or American Rocketeer, or whatever the magazine was called back in 1986/87; I don't remember it being G. Harry that wrote the article/plan though. I built one and it flew really well - not a competition glider by any stretch, but fun to watch.
