Great work SteamWake and Buddahaid!

Ah the days of balsa, T-pins, 5 minute epoxy and Money-Kote (monokote - so named because we could never afford he stuff

)

Built more than a few RC gliders in my day! Once built a high performance glider with a 9 foot, 3 piece wing, and a plywood and fiberglass fuselage. Man that was a good flyer, get that thing in a thermal and you'd need binoculars to bring her back down.

Makes me want to get a wood kit again.

Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see your pics SteamWake.
