Did you make any patterns of it ?

I just added a new photo of the Goose III parts. I did make patterns for both the Goose III and Gosling, but cant seem to find them right now. On a side note, the Gosling plans do not include a pattern for the rudder. I was just going to - wait for it - 'wing it' when I get around to building one by enlarging the drawing in the plans.
I did build a Goose III years ago (1998?) and flew it at a CMASS launch. At about 50' up, the back of the canard broke off - I may have put too much camber in it - but at pod separation it transitioned into a beautiful flat glide. The wind carried it into some tall grass and I never recovered it, but it really is a nice glider.
