The Flying Matchstick. Maiden flight test.

This unusual design has a 96“ span and a 105“ fuselage. All up flying weight came out at 1kg. The long nose meant no extra lead was required to balance the glider. Rudder and Elevator response are good and it doesn’t seem to have any bad habits. It is covered in clear window laminating film, which is cheap and light. The maiden flight was in about 5 Mph of wind.
