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.

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

I'm also off work for two weeks. I'd like to give it a try.

If you could, change the SEA camouflage pattern.

Thank you!

Don't know if the cardstock at only 6-laminations can handle the stress.

Sent the files to you 15-minutes ago.

thank you for your interest in the model!

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.
