Sailplanes New Documented Builds

[Skyking]

HI Guys,

I'm wondering if there's been any documented Saiulplane builds either scratch or kits. I've found neither. Perhaps I'm in the wrong place but if someone can set me straight I'd appreciate it.

We have a few guys flying Gliders on here. Derek is probably the guy to talk to, as he has built a scratch powered glider.

Thanks for that, Lee! That was nice!

Hi there, Skyking! I certainly don't know it all about anything, lol, but yes...I built a motorglider and I love it. If you have questions, just ask. I'll do my best to help you out.

Here is a link to my motorglider video:

Derek's "EA Photon Motor Glider" Saturday flight

I have over 50 flights with this glider. It's just a lot of fun!

Thanks Lee for the info.

Hi Derek

Nice vid super, flaperon demo, looks like a good flyer with a thick wing, scrach built or kit.

Thanks for the kind words John! It's an awesome plane to fly. Almost too much fun and very relaxing. This glider is a scratch build, made entirely from 3/16" foam board and colored packing tape. I think I have about $5 in the airplane, itself and about $60 in electronics. I love this glider!!!
