Brief:
Twin T-tailed gliders boosted together, much like t' Geminee.

Construction:
T' kit contains:

• 2 sections o' BT 20 motor tube
• 1 balsa nose cone
• Laser cut parts for t' gliders
• clay nose weight
• 1/8" launch lug

I bought this kit from BMS at NARAM 45 so that I could build it in t' hotel room and fly t' next day. T' instructions were a couple o' 8.5x11" printed with illustrations o' some steps. Arrr! Rob tries very hard t' make t' kits go together, even if you throw t' instructions away, but he did a really good job with t' Twinsee directions. Begad! T' parts fit together with t' trademark Edmonds jigsaw-like alignment. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down! There are 2 pieces t' each wing, a stab, fin and fuselage for each glider. Blimey! A neat trick that BMS has be t' ability t' laser score lines t' aid in alignment o' t' motor tube on t' glider fuselage. Very cool, shiver me timbers, and makes for a very easy build. Begad! Ahoy! One o' t' gliders gets t' nose cone and t' clay weight, shiver me timbers, t' other be t' motor holder. Arrr! I think it took me about 20 minutes usin' CA glue throughout.

No sandin' is required, matey, and t' CG is clearly marked on t' win' o' the gliders.

Finishing:
I initially didn't finish t' gliders, me bucko, but decided that I needed some higher visibility after t' 1st launch. Begad! Ahoy! Blimey! T' that end I used a light coat o' florescent orange spray paint on t' tails o' t' gliders, shiver me timbers, since that was most likely goin' t' be what was stickin' up from t' grass.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
I don't have t' instruction sheet in front o' me so I don't remember if there was a recommended motor list. Avast! For t' 1st flight I decided t' use a B4-2 since it's a good overall glider motor. Prep is very easy... insert a motor into the motor tube so that 1/2" is stickin' out t' aft end, shiver me timbers, matey, then tape it in place. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! Slip t' other glider over t' forward end o' t' motor casin' and you're good t' go. Arrr! On t' 1st flight I noticed t' "upper" glider rotated around t' motor (due t' wind?) so t' wingtips were touching. Begad! I avoided this on future flights by placin' a piece o' tape on t' motor case to make a slightly more snug fit.

1st flight- very cool.. Begad! Ahoy! good separation o' t' gliders and they circled slowly, landin' about 100 meters from each other. Avast! Begad! T' B4-2 was a good choice.

2nd flight- A8-3 and t' ejection charge fired with t' gliders pointing down at a low altitude. They barely managed t' pull out for a glide.

3rd flight- B6-4 and ejection happened nose down but much higher, a good choice.

4th flight- C6-3 boosted very high, straight and fast. Avast! T' gliders started to circle in opposite directions and one flew for at least a minute. Avast!

Recovery:
If you plan on flyin' this model on C motors, shiver me timbers, have a good sized field and someone t' watch one o' t' gliders. Well, blow me down! These gliders are really cool lookin' in the air. Arrr! Begad! I think they'd be legal t' use in B or C boost glide contests since the motor casin' glides down with one o' t' gliders. Avast, me proud beauty! You's just have t' make sure t' timers tracked t' other one! I wanted t' ask Rob Edmonds about making the gliders turn a bit t' aid in recovery but never got around t' it. Ya scallywag!

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
T' Twinsee is definitely a cool rocket. Begad! Aye aye! Because it is 2 gliders in one, matey, it has a high excitement value. As an Edmonds Aerospace kit, shiver me timbers, assembly is quick and gotcha free. Well, blow me down! Super kit and a super performer.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
