Handlaunch Gliders

The German Model Airplane industry commissioned these kits to teach
young modelers the model airplane hobby.

You get to see PERFECTION in a model airplane kit!

These airplanes FLY extremely well. If you properly trim them for flight they are capable of minute and longer flights from a handlaunch. When you BUILD them you will be amazed that balsa and hardwood parts can be made as perfectly as they are in these kits. All airfoils are fully shaped, dihedral angles correctly cut with templates included for assembly. EVERYTHING — glue, sand paper, sanding block, ballast, copper wire for control surface trim, stick-on decals — is included in the packages. Punchout jigs are included so everything will be accurately assembled. The instructions are in 3 languages, German, English, French. The plan and instructions are accurate and easy to follow. If you are a teacher you may be interested in buying them for class instruction in model building and aerodynamics —call us — we have prices for schools. If you are a father or grandfather and want a project to interest your kids in aircraft modeling you’ll never find a better project than these. If you have been curious about high performance handlaunch gliders you'll want to build these yourself.
