Wanted: RDC boost glider plans (dragonfly & feather)
Guys,
I'm looking for any info on these two boost gliders. The Dragonfly looks an awful lot like a Flat Cat. However, the Feather appears to be pretty unique to me. I'd definitely like to build one. They can be found here: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/ca...c68/68rdc8.html |

I hope those can be found. I especially like the Feather. Very unusual.

Ask and ye shall receive
I can't remember where I received these years ago, but looks like it was around 15 years ago from someone online (I know, super descriptive). In any case - I tried to build one but it did not go well. Might be a fun project to try again. Good luck! Dan |

it was me....or somebody that I sent them to.....If I remember correctly I got them direct from Irv Wait of RDC. I lived about 50 miles south of him back then.

Here's some pics of some Feather BG that was taken in Irv Wait's basement about 15 years ago
I have more. I can zip them up if you email me or dm me....

I like boost gliders, but this thing is just TOO WHACKY.
Having the thrust 20 degrees off center to "counteract looping forces" is a major WASTE as well.

I counter with it being a good way to get more smoke and fire (always good) and still get a glider back on a small field.
