Having Robert Edmonds as a club member has given us a lot of very FUN flying Glider creations.
One of my favorite designs was the Ecee-18 an 18mm motor RG with forward canard and huge rear wing/tail assembly. the Box design airframe houses the canard lockdown making a very sleek looking glider.
I just had to try downscaling this desing as have been very pleased with it's flight performance. No it is not a contest winner by any means but it's fun to fly, almost always doest a complete loop just before ejection giving a varing glide length depending on where it transitions into glide mode. at 6.3g or 7.4g lowt it's not at all hard to get some very nice flights out of this model provided the breeze is down that day.
