Re: [RCSE] Spirit of 76 foam 2-meter

[Justin Ammon]

Yup, my first sailplane as well.  Never folded the wings, but then, I must 
have put about 10 layers of fiberglass about 12 inches wide on the dihedral 
break...I guess I went the opposite direction, not knowing how strong the FG 
would be and how little would be needed.  I must have had 8+ ounces of glass 
and epoxy on the wing (before I started to make repairs)  In fact, I have 
been looking for a new kit, now that my children are to the age of being 
ready to learn to fly.

I always thought that the 76' had a nice look in the sky even if did handle 
like a cruise ship.

>Any of you guys have some stories about this plane?
Oh, this plane was my first glider too and cost was 29$. Oh my, the 
mistakes
I made with that plane. But I found that the .049 on a power pod worked
pretty well for me. Except for the slime! I'd never heard of a high start.

I had no idea what I was doing and simply glued the wing halves together. 
It
kept the weight down but I had to baby the plane a whole lot. I just took 
it
forgranted but then a buddy didn't. He pulled too hard and POW. I lost the
Rx, battery and one servo in the impact. Then I bought another one.

It served it's purpose well.
