For those that don't already know, the Centuri Mini-Dactyl glider is a minature version of the original Enerjet Pterodactyl parasite glider that was designed to ride on the '72 Enerjet Aero Dart that was powered by the E24/F52/F67.
Good luck tracking any parasite glider on anything F67 powered.

I have several mini dactyls I fly almost at every launch I do. Great little glider. Easy to build, trim and fly.

Built from vintage kits, or do you have plans? Edit: Never mind! I just realized I downloaded the graphics files from JimZ a while ago. I just put them on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/folderview...M3c&usp=sharing

So the next question on the Mini-Dactyl is, what thicknesses of balsa are used? Instructions just say "thin sheets" and "thick sheet".

Both. I saved the instructions and made templates of the parts. I had two kits I built about 20 years ago, and from the templates, I've built 5-6 more. |

Could I ask what error you get? The file's attached here but it'd still be helpful to me if I knew. Thanks!
Again, there's no scale or thickness information for the balsa scans; they are also not all that clear.

Thank you, Internet Explorer. Sheesh.
Firefox for Mac, Safari for Mac, Chrome for Mac, Chrome for Chromebook, and NetSurf for Linux all open that link with no trouble. I don't know what IE's problem is. Thanks for the balsa information!
