Pretty simple to build a clone from the plans:

I know. I Know. I'm a sucker for having a kit that I can fondle...

I used to have one. I built a really nice one that I covered the main body with black tissue and the fins with black / white checkerboard tissue. It fell victim to an old FSI 18mm motor...

Trusting any rare rocket to ANY sort of FSI power is a Fool's Errand.

Does it matter if it's out of the bag? Looks to be complete. I opened it a few years ago when I was thinking about building it when the first attempt flopped. If you want it, I already have your address.

I should have been more clear earlier. I built a nice clone of the Invader. It was a good flier. I had it trimmed out pretty well at the time.

Wanna buy some FSI motors

Bill,

To be honest, I would have no problem building another one from scratch. I'm just a boost glider nut and I'd like to have a sealed one if I can find it.

I get it. Based on the fact that Bill got the balsa thickness wrong, I can't say I recommend these for building. Mind did nothing that would suggest gliding.
