Hi guy's
I'm in the process of downscaling the OLD 1964 flying Jenny bi-wing boost/glider. I have a couple questions for any of you Ol'e timers that may have build and flown these little darlings.
Instructions indicate addition of a "sliver" of standard ncw-1 nose or tail weight. My question..Is the design finicky in trimming. I'm awful at getting gliders into proper trim. This on has been downscaled to .375" (T-3) body tube.. Really pretty cool looking, with a turned hardwood nosecone. I won't be pushing any lead into the tip of this nose to adjust the balance
Second had anyone flown a Jenny with a streamered ejecting motor or pod? If the pod thing becomes a problem, I'll reduce the model further to .281" dia
NO pics yet, I'll take some after turning the nose
