  • What glider is that twin boom one?

    Hello everybody. My name is Ader Gotardo, living in Brazil and aeromodelist for 4 years. I started with depron build planes and now I'm moving on to scale planes. So, I want to build a glider. Recently I spot this twin boom glider on You Tube but there is not information about what this model is. I'll be glad if somebody help me to find out it name. Thanks you. Best Regards.

    Hi Ader.
    Welcome to the forums. Glad to have you aboard.
    Looking at the image and quickly flipping though a reference book, I can't come up with much for twin tailed sailplane that resemble that one. In fact, there are few twin tailed sailplanes in general. I image the aerodynamic penalty for the extra boom is the reason.
    I'm hopping one of the experts on this forum will be able to help identify the plane if in fact it is a sailplane and not a modified power plane.

    I look forward to hearing more about you're sailplanes

          There's no plans in internet of this glider. It's a 1940's french design… The guy on Youtube built his glider 20 years ago… But I'll try it.
