I recently purchased several large sailplanes from a friend of a friend. The lot originated from a pilot who had passed away. I want to gather information on the sailplanes before I start playing with them, but I do not recognize one of them. The Bird of Time is easy to recognize, and the book that came with the Mystery Ship makes ID easy. But the third sailplane is unknown to me. It has a 12'7" wingspan, RES, fiberglass fuse. Pictures available here: http://www.vinceherman.net/tempsailplane/IMG_3582.JPG http://www.vinceherman.net/tempsailplane/IMG_3588.JPG I can take more pictures or answer any questions on the model to help. Thanks in advance. Vince p.s. To see the whole mess piled up in my garage, alone with the transmitter, histarts, a NIB Bird of Time kit and a 2 meter Spirit that I got from another club member, go here: http://www.vinceherman.net/tempsailplane/ I think I got a good deal. :) I would have to agree I think it is an Aquila. The Aquila Grand had a 10' span, so the XL was more than likely larger and fits the description. Kurt RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
