This model of the vintage glider designed by R.A.Twomey was built from the nexus plan (G370), spans 103", has a wing chord of 27", weighs 14lb and is a BIG model. The fuselage made of ply, the wings and tail are built up and the whole model is covered in Solartex painted with red Humbrol enamel.
The model is only 2 channel (rudder / elevator), although for a while a third channel was used to operate the throttle of the Merco .61 fitted to a power pod.
