"In a conversion with 76 old Irv Wait in August 2005, Irv regaled me with the following story: “In 1965 I was selling G. Harry Stine’s Eaglerock BG, when Harry called me up and announced that if I wanted to continue selling this model of his, I was going to have to start paying royalties to him. Well I decided right then and there I wasn’t going to pay any royalties , so I designed and developed the Feather out of sheer necessity as it was getting close to the time when I was going to print my new RDC catalog, and I needed a glider design to sell.” Theres been no other glider since the Feather with its distinctive canted motor tube and fixed elevons, but it does boost straight and true due again to the balance of forces."

I've attached a .pdf with the plans signed by Irv Wait. I also have about 25 color photos of Mr. Wait holding 2 original Feathers along with a number of Feather photos....I will post that to the Ye old Rocketshoppe FTP server...

enjoy
