Everything fits perfectly
Nice looking model. Easy to assemble. Everything fits perfectly. Glides nicely. Haven't launched it yet.
-
Excellent kit!
Excellent kit! A great first glider kit. We use it in our model rocket workshop. My only complaint is that it is not available in bulk packs.
-
Well designed
This is one of the best fitting kits there is. Every part fit tight and exact. Hats off to Jay.

Long glide times
An easy to build and trim glider. I've flown mine about 15 times so far. It comes with an ejected pod for mini engines but flies great on A8-3s as well. I've had glides over a minute long slowly circling overhead. Don't paint or seal this one and it will get lots of hang time!

Great intro to glider recovery
This kit is fairly easy to build. Throw it around some to get the CG right so it will glide, and then use a small paper aileron or rudder to make it turn (this is very important). I have flown this twice now on an A8-3. It flew great both times but I didn't get it to turn. On the second flight, its straight glide took it several hundred feet into a tall hay field. I abandoned my search after 30 minutes. I will build another one of these. A great kit for a great price and worthy of competition flying if that is your thing.

Semroc Hawk is a great kit
I love this kit. It is a go to flyer at any launch. Easy prep and sweet flights.
