Hey Y'all,
Thought i'd post up a short thread on this small glider. I bought this from the designer on RCG. His company is called Alien Technologies. He's done a few of these micro "classic" gliders, the wanderer, windfree, gentle lady, aquila, sin bad and a few others.
I bought this one and the sin bad, i sold the sin bad kit to Konrad but i kept this one.
I started building this kit and did frame up last December in a hotel room isolating after coming home for a long trip over seas. I covered most of it in January when we had a power outtage and i needed something todo for an afternoon. Then it sat for 9 months till i decided to finish it. The model was really simple to build and is designed to use a UMX brick but one could use other small servos no problem. I covered it in tissue. The white is domestic and the yellow is Esaki. The markings were made on my wife Cricut maker using the pen to draw them on. You can see the bleeding a little bit, this was from the water when trying to shrink the tissue. I had tried to seal the ink using lacquer which helped but wasn't perfect. I sealed all the tissue with spray lacquer. I need to finalize the CG but i'm hoping to do some test flights this week. If you have a brick laying around and want a simple fun project this is a good candidate. I'll post up more pictures when i've flown her.
The model is 30" ws and 45 grams RTF. I decided to not build the power pod. I'll just make a small up start or throw her off Kite Hill.
