I decided to create something new for the next Sod Farm launch. I thought it would be cool to fake a Jayhawk boost glider. I like just getting a bunch of balsa and seeing what happens. I am about half way in the process and had to take pics.

Very nice Dan, looks like it could be a kit. Are you going to paint it?

I am still winging it Chad. I have to get the motor mount on and see what it looks like in my head at that time. It will need color for sure. I don't want to think to much about the design or it won't fly well. At least taht is how gliders work for me

kinda like an old MPC delta Katt

Are you going to pull it or push it?

Should be a fun day - I always enjoy seeing your gliders fly, Dan. I'll be bringing a 1/5 sport-scale Jayhawk, if I can get it done in time.

Here is the finished glider. I will trim it tomorrow at the Sod Farm and see what happens.
I think it has a good chance of at least going up

If it does so, I think it has an even better chance of coming down.
