For the confirmed balsa-bashers amongst us, here's a great place to get free plans - http://www.outerzone.co.uk/

Less than a month to go to the Xmas party. Plenty of time to build a chuck glider to beat this one, from Mr Minty - 24" span, all from a single sheet 3"x36"x1/16 and with 8 sq ins left over. It's all about how it flies!

I mentioned the $16 Idol kit on 6th October. Here is the finished product:

It flies, beautifully, does 10 minutes on a 1300mah battery and, yes, you need to add your own wheels and motor, covering, glue etc and bend a bit of wire but, seriosuly, for $16, HobbyKing are offering a bargain package.
