Still throwing these things….It’s kind of turned into an exercise thing chasing them around the field….Getting into my bike time but a good diversion though…..Got them gliding mostly OK but it’s the transition that’s tuff, From climb to glide…. I get it right about once out of ten times….. Lots of lawn darts and dorks…..It’s bugging me to learn to get it right…..Nearly got Sweepette hooked up in some lift yesterday but fell out after a couple of circles…... Photo after a decent transition…. Best so far about 30 sec….

I recently bought an NOS stash of balsa gliders for the grandkids on E-Bay. It came with 20 gliders.

The seller bundled it with an acryllic paint kit for decorating, didn't care for the paints but I guess the grandkids will enjoy them as I sent to my son.

We don't see many of these as these gliders were from a dying business. Laughing

Thanks Eric, Yes, She actually has pretty good coordination for throwing….
Those are unique George….. I guess maybe appropriate advertising if one would hookup and fly away Very Happy

…..
Thanks Bob, The outings are pleasant with the summer heat backing off just a bit….

A short video of a few flights…. Trimming bugs still to work out…..
