My first attempt at a boost glider. I have ordered a Deltie Boost Glider for my NARTREK Silver level, but it is back-ordered. So I thought I'd get some experience first with this one. And if I can get a 30 second flight from it, great. I have broke the wings off twice while testing for stability.
Dia: 0.976"; Length: 22.0"; Glider Wt.: 2.0 oz.; Glider Wingspan: 24"; Motor (1): 18mm
Status: Destroyed.
| Flt | Date | Motor | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1) | 10/10/97 | B6-2 | Arced over a bit. One wing did not fold out, nose-dived into the lawn. No damage. |
| 2) | 10/10/97 | C6-3 | Arced over a bit. Steep spiral glide, hit in the street. Only minor damage (cockpit broke off, but wings intact). Needs more tail weight. |
| 3) | 3/15/98 | B6-4 | Arced over a lot. Ejected 10 feet from the ground. No damage. |
| 4) | 3/15/98 | C6-3 | Arced over a lot. Ejected 5 feet from the ground. Broke glider in half (good, this one is a terrible rocket). |
