POWERED GLIDER_____________

My 2 meter, scratch built glider has had several nose in prangs and although I've had to rebuild the fuselage, the wings have remained undamaged. On this project I used two 2 meter lengths of 12mm aluminum tube with several cross section supports riveted to the spars. The flat bottomed aerofoil section allowed me to glue the spars directly to the bottom wing panel and foam was used to build the aerofoil and covered with sixteenth balsa.

The pedestal mounted motor has created a few thrust-line headaches. Sudden power pitches the nose down. I'll post more on this soon.
