Parasite Glider from Museum Freebie?

[brockrwood]

I got this free balsa glider when I visited the “Wings Over the Rockies” aerospace museum in Denver. (Definite must visit when you are in Denver.)

I should be able to make this into a simple “parasite” glider that can hitch a ride on my low power model rockets, no?

It has been a very long time since I had one of those. I like the glider idea.

I doubt those wings could survive a boost. My recollection of those things is that the wing balsa is very thin and light.

Agreed, too flimsy for even 1/4A. Tried it with various Guillows models. But, maybe you can make it work...

I should probably get and build one of these: Semroc Sabre Glider.

Looks more like a “Century” fighter - the delta wing “dart” fighters - than a Sabre or Super Sabre.
