RM magazine r/c glider

Post by chlluk »

Hi All
I have a bee in my bonnet regarding a single channel glider project that appeared in the RM magazine.
I have looked through outerzone from end to end but had no joy. Model was small(48" best guess).
Round top fuz. Gently tapered wings , single dihedral with I think posh wing tips. I thought the name was "Slinky" seems I'm wrong. Would like to get a plan. I guess again , 1970's.

There are two versions of the Slinky glider, the later one had the nice wingtips

I was also sure that the plan for one of the two versions is on Outerzone, but like you am unable to find it...Barry Winter was the designer

You might like to send a PM to glyn of this parish as there is a video of him flying his Slinky...though it might be a Mk1 not a Mk II

I believe I read on the old forum that the Mk 1 was nicer to fly on the button than the Mk II?
