Sunny skies, O Deg C,  4 PM, no better time, and tomorrow we’re supposed to get socked in with some snow.

Balanced it with my fingers,  near the rear edge of the spar. Proper balance point is not over any balsa , so I have to gear up something other that what I usually use for balancing.

1130 Grams, under 40 Oz, without the  tow hook in place.

Rudder is very effective.

Got in 4 tosses, each one a little higher.

Used masking tape to hold the tips on and that didn’t work so well, so thought better of doing a monster launch from top of the hill.

 

Baby steps:):)
