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

Spent t' early mornin' at t' field hand tossin' both gliders and permanently attachin' t' wings. Both gliders had decent glides but number 002 seemed t' be a little less squirrelly so I used that for me competition flights. I had over sanded t' fuselage boom where it interfaces with t' boost pod hook, shiver me timbers, so I put some thin CA on t' boom t' build it back up and get a better fit. Nice straight boost off a standard 1/8 inch rod, good ejection right at apogee. Glider made a good transition and boost pod recovered under streamer. Nay much t' speak o' in t' way o' lift/thermals, ended up with a 22 second qualified flight.
