Your s***ing me...

That looks interesting, and would be cheap to run on a smart engine!
Costs about the same as the other one does, but assembled vs unassembled.
TY for posting

you are blissfully ignorant and live in your own little world, and refuse to be edjucated. So please, keep your nose out of things so obviously beyond your grasp.

 
Can't fool this guy - He's probably been to collage

If he has then he is Dr. Doogie material. He is 13 years old.

Never said I am the one to do the edjucating

I know that the videos show different, but I thought these concepts were proven wrong time and again on Saturday mornings by Wile E. Coyote.

What a perfectly rotten waste of money and aircraft....


Please post more pics of the operation, pre and postmortem.

Now wouldn't supprise me at all with the L/D that the fox has, 34 lbs thrust might be enof to acctual sustain a slow climb.

Anybody have any data on this bird?  Just from looking at it I kinda suspect it's not real high performance as far as sailplanes go.  (fully aerobatic I do believe though).

I'm guessing a glide ratio in the area of 35:1 or so?

Glide ratio, only a little better than a lark, I beleive. Its not for long flights, just for kick bellybutton ones.

Thanks Reynolds, it is a great looking sailplane and I bet it is a hoot to fly!

cheers

30:1 for the Fox.

[gripen]

Open class sailplanes do well over 50:1 and 15 metre class something like 40:1.

Putting jets on gliders?  Are you under the impression that it hasn't been done before?
