These kit auctions end tonight, shortly after 10 PM Eastern.
The composite Stingray-III, 44" span, is the best performing R/C Rocket Glider kit ever sold in the U.S. I won a bronze medal with one in 1996, and it's still the best performing model I have for E power (I have newer models for when FAI changed S8E from pure duration to precision crash landings. But they are heavier and draggier due to extra servo(s) and hinged flaps for glide path control).

The Estes Sweet Vee, 55" span, is not quite as high performance. On a D12 it was underpowered. But is nice on E11 reloads. I built one for Ed LaCroix, modified to fly on 32mm G12 reloads, and it boosted up nearly 1000 feet.
