I like it, and nice use of the Aeroflot markings.

The video tag is a nice way to share these.

Do you still have it? Nice beard by the way. Pure 80's.

Thanks, I wish I still had it but it no longer exists. Yup....the 80"s, I had more hair then. The flying field is still the same except one more hangar is beeing built near by.

Kevin's plans are uploaded now on flickr

Print them on 11"x17" paper, then tape them together to get the full sized (1/2 scale) plans.

That's very neat!!

Reminds me of the same sorts of gliders I used to do about thirty years ago....loved using BT80 with the PNC-80K nose too!

Thanks for sharing the plans. So, I reckon this spits the motor casing to transition? Looks like it uses 'Astron SpacePlane' tech there.
