Acme Flying MachinesTempest Review
Acme Flying MachinesTempest Review
By George Voss
George Voss takes an in depth look at both the standard and v-tail versions of this exciting Mark Triebe's design. The Tempest is one of only a handful of hollow core molded sailplanes made in the US. The Tempest utilizes the popular MH32 airfoil, with a full elliptical leading edge and upswept wingtips. The purchaser has a choice of several different lay-ups to suit the plane's desired function... everything from Thermal Duration (TD) to Dynamic Soaring (DS), with weights ranging from the high 60’s to the mid 80’s.

By thrmaln
Marc Webster reviews this superb first polyhedral ARF. Marc finds the instructions to be superb, the wing the strongest of any polyhedral he's ever flown, and all-in-all the model to be an ideal first glider.
