You can spot a happy pilot by the bugs on his teeth

Bugs in the teeth, or the glider? Just kiddin'. ;D She's a real beauty! I'm glad to see a glider being given the same detail and craftmanship as the models of the powered aircraft. Brian

Coool! Looking forward to that one (do you have to slew it to get it in the air, or does it have rockets like Bill Lyon's glider?

It has a simulated winch/tow launch gauge. You flip a switch in the cockpit and it starts pulling the glider up to 1500 ft and releases. All accompanied with sound effects. Very cool.

I took off from Hawarden North Wales and invoked Real Weather. It wasn't glider weather but with gray and cloudy skies and 25 mph wins with a lot of gusting it was really good fun! The vet (simulated winch launch) gauge does it's work well and is far better than the old 'y' and F4 trick.

Hi Guys Sorry for the delay. Wolfgang Piper (no relation) is just sorting out some slight anomilies with the flight dynamics. I have modified a few little bits on the model too. Not sure if i should animate the pilot heads as the chipmunk has some framerate issues with this animation enabled. It will be out soon. Regards Rick
