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 :)

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 :)

Dan

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

Nice looking rocket!

Now you're making me want to finish making my 1/2 finished JayHawk...

I've got to remember, I must do homework. Must Sleep...

Now If I could only stop dreaming in Balsa. ;)

As long as you have something else half finished when the jayhawk is done, the universe will be at peace!

3x Mercury Redstones, 1 Saturn V, 1 Saturn 1B, 2x Sandhawk/Terriers, 2x Tridents, 1 Trident II, and 20(ish) of my own designs. I think the universe is a little out of whack right now... Or... Is that just *I'm* out of whack right now.

I need sleep... But Chinese Characters are demanding that I practice them before tomorrow's quiz.

All The 最好的

I was excited to see this thread get bumped back to the top... so, we're having another Jayhawk day in Jun? Awesome!

Every day should be Jayhawk day.

I have to think every day is Jayhawk day for some.
