Guys, you have to try out my latest modeling discovery – half-size (6" span) catapult gliders. Slap them together in ten to fifteen minutes, launch with an ...
Jun, Those things are fun. I built a 6" HLG a while back for the Whipper Wiz contest, knowing I could beat most of the flight times, But I never have heard...
Yup, things like that are fun. Last Thanksgiving the family got together at our place & the kids were driving everyone nuts. Took them down to the workbench. A...
Thanks Jun, for sharing your experience with your half-size CLG and posting the plan. And thanks to the rest of you for sharing your experiences, also. We...
... You may want to check out the Whipper Whiz designed by Harley Michaelis for which we ran a number of postal contests a couple of years ago. I ran the last...
Hi John, Thanks for the tips, building stretched Whipper Whiz now and will try to beat a minute with the help of rubber -- my 63 year old arm is ready for the...
I second that, Jun! An HLG division and a CLG division. I can build one for each. Now I need to learn how to find thermals! Up to this time, they've been my...
Hi John, We too shall try build and post an entry in your postal if you elect to run another one. We checked the plans and the basic WW requires little...
Thanks, Rolf, for sending the message about your 'no-cal' Beaver to me off-list. We were hoping that you would post this information to the list and share it...
Hi Simpleflyer, Of course, you may do that and thanks for asking. I have more pictures, etc., but now's a busy time. In a week or so, Rolf On Thursday, Feb...

Hi Kevin and other HLG/CLG experts, Are there any HLG/CLG dsigns that use the RC wing technique of a foam core with thin balsa skinning? If so, I'd be...
Hi, Dick Baxter and guys, Guess what makes an excellent catapult launched glider? An altered "Pussycat"! The conversion takes about half an hour -- and I'm a...
Wow, Derek, this is a milestone in my modeling career! Someone else has actually taken the trouble to draw one of my designs, and much better of course than I ...
Hi Derek, Just saw the revised Altered Pussycat plans, and they're perfect. And I loved your six-inch version and am now building one. (Rolf please note.) ...
Hi List, I just put a picture of a 12 in and a 6 in WS CLG from Jun and Derek's latest efforts, of course with the original design by Dick Baxter. Check out...
Nice work, Rolf. I recommend some bright coloring on the six-incher (I put a 1/4" strip of red tissue on the left wngtip, which also helps the left turn);...
Today we found a number of files uploaded to the list. We could not determine whether permission had been obtained from the plan's originators or not. So...
Hey all you simpleflyers! I have not had much of a chance to participate these last few months, but I got a good flying session today after work. Great calm ...
Kenny, First, I recommend that the motor length be about 1.5x the hook-rear peg distance. You can go for even more if you braid it. I generally go for up to...
Thanks, I will try one thing at a time and start with the motor length. I think you are right that the drag from the not-so-free-wheeling prop caused the...
Have just spent a pleasant morning flying the "Altered Pussycat in three sizes, 6", 8" and 12" (thank heavens for a home photocopier and Derek Buckmaster) and ...
Would you believe losing an 8" CLG in a thermal? Had downloaded Clarence Mather's tiny "Tipper" low-ceiling HLG from Hans Kuhn's website -- thanks, Hans!...
Hi John O'Sullivan, With all the recent interest in tiny HLG/CLGs, this seems like a good time to revive your Whipper Whiz postal. I would suggest three...
Hi Alwings, Help! Not only Rich but Rolf and I have had problems uploading photos/plans to SimpleFlyers. Even though I add .jpeg to the title, though this...
