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. | |
