This is a fairly straightforward conversion. The base airframe is PopWing (https://www.nitroplanes.com/02a-019-popwing-epp-hh-kit.html, $35; or https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking...Teksumo_EPP_Wing_900mm_ARF_US_Warehouse_.html, $39). I sand a little groove into the seam between wing panels and add a 38mm tube.
The glider slopes really well. My wife and I fly matchy versions (hers is orange, so we can tell who is flying what). Yesterday, I flew this one on Estes 29mm motors, 1x E16 and 3x E15, all four happy flights.
The photos are in awkward light. I'm in a hotel room in Santa Barbara. If the wind cooperates, there are wonderful slopes on the ocean here, and maybe I get to fly this one again tomorrow.
Youtubes of yesterday's rocket flights have to wait until I return home.
