F100 Profile Glider Beta Builder Needed
Hi Just got done creating a PDF of a F100 Glider.
Some laminations are needed for the fuselage. The wings are two piece and the elevator is two piece. Simple easy model that flies well. Looking for 3 Beta Builders that can print and build by Jan 15th. Mike |

I am on holidays for two weeks so could give it a go. I have made and flown gliders before. This one looks good.

If you could, change the SEA camouflage pattern.

Mike, I have printed the parts. Looking good so far. Now to do a bit of laminating.

I finished it. It looks great. It came out at 18g or 5/8 oz according to the kitchen scales. It balanced at the cg without any weight added. I found the slit for the tail was a little short. I extended it back to the jet nozzle. The wing fit perfectly.
Initial test glides indicate it is a touch nose heavy. It is a bit hard to do any more testing today as it is very humid and the flying surfaces are a bit too soft to trim. Also it has just come up windy. I have probably made it a bit too heavy. If I substituted balsa for the laminated fuselage and just used thin paper for the cover it would be lighter. Once I get the trimming done I will shove a pin in the bottom somewhere in front of the cg and try it as a catapult launched glider. The weight could help in thus situation. I really enjoyed making this. It was a real quick build. Robert |
