I had more fun designing and building than flying. I read a magazine article in the early 70's about building with cardboard and decided to try it myself. Good thing I took drafting in high school. They are on the heavy side but with enough lift...

Love it. Way back when... Like during WWII... when materials were scarce, we built free flight birds from cardboard and paper stock. It works fine. I'm glad to see someone bringing this back to life. Probably won't win an F3J, but I'm sure your having fun.

Good point, if i kick you in the arse how much lift do you think it will need to make you fly?

Your F-22 is actually an YF-23, one of my favorite planes.

Yes, someone pointed that out before. My mistake. I watched your Talon video, cool plane. I had one for a while.

I love unusual gliders, so nice to see something different from the norm. I'm looking at designing something similar to a Swallow's (bird) planform, this has both swept forward and swept backward main wings and a V tail - any tips on design?

A million years ago I saw an article on the seagull slope soaring model made for the movie Johnathan Livingston Seagull. I think it was RCM Magazine. Maybe there is a way to search archives?
