The Penn Valley Hobby Center has reproduction kits of several of Frank Zaic's classic glider kits. These include the Thermic Trio (see: http://www.pennvalleyhobbycenter.co...thermictrio.htm ), which is a "3-in-1" kit of gliders with different configurations.

Black, Are you seeking a glider from a specific page on the HoMR or a certain Zaic plan? I have some of his old orange books from the 30's, 40's, and 50's, bur I don't remember those; but there are some very weird plans that with today's materials would be a snap (pardon the pun) to build. J |

Ah OK, I understand now. My first gliders were the Peck Polymer 'Eaglet' gliders. As a kid, I would take the bus down to their suite/warehouse when they were owned and located on Carson BLVD in Carson CA. Great gliders, I actually got one to thermal away twice in one day. I had to walk about a mile each time to recover the plane; an Eaglet 20 IIRC. Hey you wouldn't happen to do Jetex? I have kits and motors, but there is just no interest to be found even at the model rocket sites!? Jonathan |

Jetex does not have enought thrust to launch vertically. But there were rocketry applications for Jetex wick back in the day. Do they still make that? Bill

Bill, Yes they are still made. There is also a French equivilent that sells a preassembled jetex solution similar to a model rocket motor. Blackshire made a good posting: http://forums.rocketshoppe.com/show...116&postcount=1 J |
