Brief:
Twin T-tailed gliders boosted together, me bucko, 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. Blimey! T' instructions were a couple o' 8.5x11" printed with illustrations o' some steps. Aye aye! Rob tries very hard t' make t' kits go together, ya bilge rat, even if you throw t' instructions away, ya bilge rat, but he did a really good job with t' Twinsee directions. Begad! Well, arrr, blow me down! T' parts fit together with t' trademark Edmonds jigsaw-like alignment. Begad! There are 2 pieces t' each wing, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, a stab, me bucko, 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. Ya scallywag! Very cool, ya bilge rat, matey, and makes for a very easy build. One o' t' gliders gets t' nose cone and t' clay weight, t' other be t' motor holder. Ya scallywag! Arrr! I think it took me about 20 minutes usin' CA glue throughout.

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

Finishing:
I initially didn't finish t' gliders, arrr, but decided that I needed some higher visibility after t' 1st launch. T' that end I used a light coat o' florescent orange spray paint on t' tails o' t' gliders, 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. Begad! For t' 1st flight I decided t' use a B4-2 since it's a good overall glider motor. Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! Prep is very easy... Ahoy! insert a motor into the motor tube so that 1/2" is stickin' out t' aft end, ya bilge rat, then tape it in place. Begad! Slip t' other glider over t' forward end o' t' motor casin' and you're good t' go. On t' 1st flight I noticed t' "upper" glider rotated around t' motor (due t' wind?) so t' wingtips were touching. Aye aye! 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.. Well, blow me down! good separation o' t' gliders and they circled slowly, ya bilge rat, landin' about 100 meters from each other. Avast! 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. Well, blow me down! They barely managed t' pull out for a glide.

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

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

Recovery:
If you plan on flyin' this model on C motors, ya bilge rat, have a good sized field and someone t' watch one o' t' gliders. These gliders are really cool lookin' in the air. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! 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! Arrr! 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. Well, blow me down!

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
T' Twinsee is definitely a cool rocket. Because it is 2 gliders in one, arrr, it has a high excitement value. Blimey! As an Edmonds Aerospace kit, ya bilge rat, assembly is quick and gotcha free. Super kit and a super performer.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
