Today's weather forecast showed nearly non-existant wind conditions, making it a great time to get out to a park and trim the newly built Wasp for glide.
So, lunchtime was spent on the grassy expanse of Redstone Park in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. The park is only a two minute drive from my workplace.
Armed with the Wasp and a chunk of trim clay, it took a dozen or so tosses to get it to glide beautifully. I couldn't get it high enough to see exactly what its turn radius is - that may have to wait for adjustment after a maiden flight under power.
Nevertheless, all indicators point to a well-performing boost/glider.
I suspect the real challenge for this model will be avoiding another fly-away loss!
