One more post about gliders.

I took a bunch of models to NARAM 58 in Springfield, MO in 2016. Too many, as I did not get around to flying them all in three days..... However, it is always nice to have options on what to fly.

Here is what I brought: Left to right starting with the Bomarc: Dynasoar Rocketry Bomarc, My own design XF-108 Rapier, My own design glide-able SA-14 Archer, Dynasoar Rocketery profile InteRCeptor, own design semi scale Blackhorse spaceplane, RC parasite Guillows foam Space Shuttle, own design A-4B RC BG conversion of the Estes V-2 kit and my own design free flight Mig-21 BG. My slightly broken XB -70 is in the rear. Up front is my own design Douglas D-558-III RC RG and my Dynasoar Rocketry profile X-15.

Flew the Bomarc twice, the InteRCeptor once, the Blackhorse spaceplane once, the D-558-III once and the X-15 once, plus the attempt to fly the XB-70. Also flew a few conventional rockets at NARAM that year.

Partly in view on the right is my friend Richard Ng's F-104 rocket.

A good time was had!
