Glad if you like it!
If anyone of you build one of my model, and have a mood for it, please share with me the experiences. I m curious, how can you fly them, is there any difficult in build, etc. This helps me improve my designs

I made 2 new skin, landing gear stand template, and a suplement manual for rubber flight for my skyhawk.
They are in the same old video description.

Gripen is under development, I attached a picture about the mock up.
I hope, pictures will be visible

Nice shape on that Gripen! Looking forward especially to checking out your plans for that one.

Wonderful on the Gripen, it's a nice flyer!
Does the rubber band ever catch on the ventral finger grip tab? I was thinking about doing an X-15 outdoor glider but was worried the rubber band would catch on the ventral tail.

Thank you very much!
No, I 've never had problem with this before. I think, X-15 could work good with rubber launch. lt would fly similar like my starfighter. I also thinked about it. It had a short wingspan, and I think it would not glide with a good ratio, but keep the kinetic power or rubber for a long time, and flying fast and high. Anyway, if my prediction were not true, you can shorten the ventral fin, the real plane dropped it off durring landing, so it would be also historically correct.

Watched some of your videos again.

Do you use any weights to balance or just use the trimming of the flying surfaces?

For your rubber band: it looks like you use tape to attach to each other. Seems to keep them from tangling with each other. Are you using the tape or do you tie them together with a knot?

Great flight videos. The tape you use looks heavier duty than the kind I use, your models appear to be super strong as you mention for years of flying.

Thank you for posting. Learn something each time I look at your videos.
