sky Bird I

This fantastic looking hand-launch glider takes it's styling cues from a model designed by PaulE.  Del Gatto back in 1958.  It performs brilliantly when built true and light.   Give her a good toss, catch a thermal, and you'll be surprised how high she'll go - watch her thermaling with the hawks.     You could even add a tow hook and launch her with a hi-start!

She has been designed with the novice in mind.    All parts have been accurately laser-cut.   You don't even need to sand an airfoil on this one.  Just decorate the parts with markers, glue her together, and check the balance ....   and Bob's your uncle, you have a beautiful glider ready to fly in less than ten minutes plus the time it takes your glue to dry!
