Big Blu 96 is a scratch built foamie motor glider made from Dow insulating foam. It is just under 3 lbs. in weight and flies like a dream. She has a three piece wing and removable tail for easy transport. Maiden flight was in Ellsworth, ME, USA on 12 July 2011. google for Big Blu 96 on rcgroups.com for details on build.
@TheDickeroo - You're too kind, Dick. Thanks very much. It is a wonderful thing when it all comes together and flies nicely. For those that did not know it, "TheDickroo" is Mr. Richard Kline himself, the man that invented the Kline-Fogelman airfoil being used on that glider.

Jack... that is a beautifully crafted plane. What a thrill it must be to build a plane from scratch and have it fly like that. Just outstanding. You must be a happy camper.
