Paste link into a browser window: [isdntekvideo] History of the project: I am a collector of vintage balsa ready to fly gliders with a focus on the Jim Walker/American Junior planes. Of course the best thing about toys like this is playing with them, but it would be crazy to actually use those vintage planes so I began making some by hand. Cutting the balsa profile and the aluminum wing clips was time consuming so I used my experience with 3D printing and CAD design to create this kit using a Guillow's Starfire glider. I think Jim Walker's design is one of the best ready to fly glider designs ever made and I hope that making these gliders available will help introduce a new generation of children to the fun of flying a plane that goes up like a rocket and glides down like a plane. Also take a look at my ready-to-fly folding wing jet gliders, just search my other items available.
