Between getting into gliders and no longer having the farm field I've turned to smaller park fliers. The Fake Wolf inspired me to try a cardstock/BT-5 version of a DM-1. So far I've got a 5" tube and the wings designed. This small, it might end up as tumble recovery...

I'll start with my current personal favorite which most of you have already seen. My 4" Mach 10. It just had 2 more flights this past weekend at the blue/grey regional. This thing has flown about 30 times now and is still going strong. I want to make a BT-80 based RC one for the new Quest D5-4 motors, but the vendor I was waiting for tiny servos from just delayed their release .


Pictures are nice, but how about a video ?

Thought I would try my hand at the Rocksim 9 Demo. Being into glider recovery I thought I would start with something small. Took a while to figure out the decal orientation though...

As you can see, I used (what little I could find) the old R/C AstroBlaster. Anyone have plans for it?

Plans for the Astroblaster (at least the pre production version called the Sky Blaster by Larry Renger) are still available to purchase-

I've got a PDF of the article but it's too large to attach.

That is a little more than I need. Since my Starlight Sparrow worked so well, I wanted to make a glider recovery like it designed after the AstroBlaster.

My vintage Phoenix on a G12 just last weekend. June 20, 2009


It really was a nice day but the photo came out a little dark.



At Bob Evans Farm Launch by WVSOAR at Rio Grande, Ohio.

I probably fly the red baron the most, it is just so easy to prep, and always puts in decent flights. The scissor wing and Semroc X-21 have flown quite a few times, and both glide quite well.



I was going to ask you about the scissor wings performance. I have been thinking about getting one for awhile now, just wondering if it is worth the effort.

This is my first attempt at designing and building a glider from scratch. I call it "The Bitchy Witch" and it flew pretty well at our last lauch on a B6-2. It needs a little nose weight and it will be perfect.
