13mm Boost Glider with unique plastic molded win' joint that gives both a fixed dihedral angle t' t' balsa wings, arrr, but also sets t' incident angle o' t' entire win' when it is attached t' t' fuselage boom, greatly simplifyin' both construction and trimming.  Standard boost pod arrangement with a molded plastic glider hook.

First NRC flight o' t' 2018/19 contest year.  Spent some time fiddlin' with t' launch rod and launch lead standoff arrangement, finally got somethin' taped in place for launch.  Decent boost, shiver me timbers, pod/glider arced over on it's back durin' t' delay coast.  Good glider separation at ejection, and decent transition t' glide.  Nice stable glide with some slow circling.  touched down on t' sod, 62 second duration.
