Hobby Lobby Habicht
By -Brett
What, another bent wing sailplane, you say? Those of you who read my story about the Super Soarer might now think I have a thing for gull winged airplanes. Actually, what really intrigued me about this little scale sailplane was the idea of aerotowing it with a small park flyer tug, which I got from the Hobby Lobby web pages.

Navaho Electric Sailplane Review
By Mitchell Gerdisch
The Navaho does not sport a long, sleek, high aspect ratio wing like some other sailplanes. Nor, does it have the latest high-tech airfoil and wing construction. Instead, the Navaho has a low aspect ratio (6.2), relatively short ,1.2 meter, built-up balsa wing based on an s4083 airfoil. No, the Navaho is not sexy. Instead, it offers a simple design, with light wing loading, easy transport, and quick assembly in the field.

Thermal Talk - May/June 2003
By George Voss
My column is a little late because I was waiting to receive and report on the new RD 8000 radio system from Airtronics. The RD 8000 8-channel radio contains software for both fixed and rotary wing aircraft. It has 10-model memory, and virtually all the mixes the sailplane flyer could want or need. Since this is a soaring column, I’ll focus on the needs of thermal soaring pilots.
