 ...this is one of my pet projects and looking forward to try it off a decent slope some time soon.

 It is a 72 in, AR 10, Polyhedral glider with a V Tail.

 What is special about this project is that the wing cores are cut using a drop-arm foam cutter I put together and am very pleased with the results. The airfoil is E2052595 and the AUW is 455g with a WL of about 4.3 oz/sft.

 here's a compilation of the first few test launches from flat land. Consistently getting 30+sec flights. Trims/CG/ballast needs some tweaking before further flights.

....for the next I intend to use balsa where ever coro has been used....as I could save about 15g.....plus a better airfoil.

 I'd be delighted to get flights similar to the one in the video.....guess it should be possible....just needs a slope.

 ....some details :

* the pic showing the CF boom with yellow coro has a 10mm wide 3mm ply stuck right at the end. This was a provision for a regular tail that could be stuck true to this platform around which the pod would be built - just in case the V tail did not work satisfactorily.
