Richard Boyd:
I have a few DS Birdys on the way !
Not sure if I could handle this wee speedster, but hell it sure looks fun.
The kits are super quality as all German products are.

This is the Birdy flying of a bungee

I have seen them fly on the slope and my goodness they are mega fast and aerobatic to boot.

Happy Days:
WWEeeeeeeeee, 8)  very sleek Richard. How fast are your reaction times these days?

It looks about a 1.6 mtr span, If it’s a two piece wing it could be one of those models to keep in the car, ‘just in case’ you need a flying “Fix”. :wink:

How long before it’s in the air....... Wednesday afternoon perhaps?

billscottni:
very nice Richard, How much?

Richard Boyd:
Hi Bill/Keith,
The Bird is 100cm/1M plane and is really a HLG !
It soon proved very strong wing construction, plus the factor it thermals really well from a throw !




A great all round wee glider.


This is her DSing downwind from a line of trees on a flat field.
