Some new stuff in the club reviled at the OCT 2009 Club Meeting:

           Barney Bauer has built a "Barnster" which is 1/2 Blaster and 1/2 Original. It is a "T" shaped CF Tube reinforced balsa fuse with 2mm Depron tail feathers. The finished plane is about 1 Oz. lighter than Barney's other two Blasters and he feels it launches higher.
      The nose is very open and easy to install he gear. The tail is carbon reinforced Depron covered with 0.6 Oz glass adhered with poly-urethane.
     John White with his new "Fling" DLG. It is a great training plane for the hand launched group.
