Great flyer, but consider your recovery options

By kiel0000 February 12, 2018

Built this kit in accordance with the instructions and now that I have flown this a handful of times now and I can conclude that the supplied streamers are insufficient for recovery if you are not flying on a very soft field. I fly on short grass field at the local school and each time it has popped a fin on landing, that is until i changed out the two orange streamers for a big Mylar one. I used wood glue to bond the fins with a triple filet to get a bit of a radius built up on the root and the paper tube would delaminate and come off with the fin each time they broke off.
