You did a beautiful job building I have also built lots of foam gliders but the foam always looks like foam lol Balsa sailplanes are the Best even thou it Lots more time building Big thumbs up for your effort All Sailplanes need lots of nose weight so the best solution is a brushless motor and battery i am sad to say
looking to do the exact same thing but with a folding prop motor combo out front that will hopefully help with the CG issue! good looking bird either way tho! thanks for taking the dive
I just rebuilt the horizontal stab using a more traditional balsa wood/Monkote construction. Hope to do another flight test soon. I may motorize this model as well. Good luck with yours.
I have a bird of time .. spruce wing joint failed, tore wing while I was heading into a thermal .. I was wondering.. I would like to create a wing from stacked foam sheets. So you have stencils left from your project ? I plan on using carbon rod tubes in the wings for reinforcement
OMG !!!... how cool !!!!

I don't have any stencils just a copy of the original plans that I found on the internet. Your plan should work with no problem. GOOD LUCK.
He said "film it" lol, showing his age.
Never had a maiden or flight video?
