Where can I get good plans to build one of these? How hard is it >to fabricate the flying reel and all that? I built mine from the old article in Popular Mechanics (Science? I'm at work now and don't remember right now). I used aircraft-quality spruce for the spine and spar (spar since replaced with aircraft plywood), and 1/8" aircraft plywood for the fin, rudder, and rudder horn. 1.5oz polyester for the sail, double hemmed with a (polyester?) cording in the hem. Aircraft sillhouette applied with a permanent marker (to test different markers, I colored patches on a piece of sail material, fastened it onto my car antenna, and drove up and down the freeway one lunch hour. The marker that didn't flake off from the fluttering, I used on the sail. Sanford wide-tip won out...) Email me your address and I'll send you a copy of the article. I'll post the source reference here on Monday also. I wimped out and did not do the retractable reel setup. I just put normal line clips on and flew it on 150' of line with Sky Claws. Takeoffs were assisted (BIG heave into the air) and landings were "fly to the side-hover and step forward".
