In keeping with the season, I would like to announce the release of a new
sailplane designed by yours truly:
The Hobgoblin
The Hobgoblin is of all-EEP construction, comes complete with
pumpkin colored covering material and also is available in a power version
powered by two 800mah bats. However, you have to find your own bats. And
feed them. There is a 42 page instruction manual showing how to tape the
bats to the airframe.
I didn't actually plan to release the Hobgoblin design. It just
sort of escaped. One of those mad scientist sort of things.
You can use any kind of radio you have to try to control the
Hobgoblin. Just don't expect much response. Wingspan tends to vary, as
does wingloading, depending on when the Hobgoblin has last eaten.
Landing the Hobgoblin is a cinch, especially if you can get Gordy to
bare his neck for a while.
I was going to post some pictures of the Hobgoblin, but my camera is
a SLR, which means there is a mirror in the focusing system, and I couldn't
see the damn thing through the view finder. In any event, you can expect
the first all EEP, bat powered Hobgoblins to arrive in your neighborhood in
the next few days, just after dark.
