Ridge Runt

Hi all,
  Sorry to disagree with you Fred, but I think the ridge runt is a superb  :D  model. Kevin Barry and I kitted 20 for a club project and 16 of them saw the air, one even saw the sea :o . The Runt with a rudder was known as the Super Ridge Runt and had a higher wing loading and 3 functions but the "coupe" version only had 2 channels but was good enough to fly from 4mph to 22 mph without ballast. Might have the bones of a kit left in the loft if you are interested in joining the elite team!!!

Hi Ralph,

That's why I said totally personnal opinion on that one !  O:)   :P
A good glider alright, but it did not left me a "must have/keep" souvenir at the time.

And one of Cork's Ridge Runt at the 2005 Glide in !



I think I've heard of an EPP version somewhere of the Ridge Runt  :?:  Can be fun !  :D

IceWind:
Great photo!

All comments are welcome. :)

Regading the EPP version, on the search i made, it seems that a "new" version included a foam wing.

Fred:
Yeah, I think the foam wing was for the Ripmax one no ?  :?:

Not sure tho.

Fred:
Have more !
