Slope Soaring / Hai 1 - A glider wich fits into a suitcase

« on: February 19, 2008, 22:30:21 PM »

Hi folks
I decided to join the Island Slope Rebels Fly In in Mai, however Ireland is just to fare away to take the car for a short weekend trip :roll: . Thus the airplane is the only choice to get there quickly, and when it should be within the budget the cheep ones are the only feasible. However then each bag you take counts :evil: thus to take a model airplane is somewhat complicated. After some research however, I finally found what I was looking for. A glider which fits into the following boundary conditions:

it has to be a wooden construction
a small glider which I can put into my bag
a glider which can stay strong winds and give you a lot of fun
a glider easy and quickly to build
which is not to expensive

 :shock: whow, that’s quit a list, however I got it. It is the Hai (Shark) from Wolfgang Werling presented some years ago in the FMT, a German Model Airplane magazine. The magazine and the plan was already sold out, however via the internet I could get one. The short-kit is ordered and as soon as it arrives I will start the construction. So see you
Cheers
Stephan
