I'll buy one if its really ARF and half scale! To much building involved with giant scale gliders. I would go 50% with the glider as well, a 15 ft glider really is rather small. Biggest gliders we play with have wing span of about 27 ft, thats a 50% ASG 29. Not mine, though.

This photo is of a 18 ft glider behind the 50% cub, and the glider is allmost 100 ft closer to the camera than the cub, so it looks bigger than it actually is.

Just looked up the 1-26, and its a small glider at 40 ft wingspan and 21 ft length. Very nice looking glider, looks like it can be built as a real all rounder. At 50% it would be a cool plane, at 60% it would be perfect.

I can promise you my business anyway if you produce it in 50% size or bigger!

For reference, this is what an 82% Corsair looks like: http://www.corsair82.com/corsair/per...spective2.html . Before long, Bill, you may approach this size!

btw the 1-26 glider project sounds very interesting!

Great Job Hempel! Keep those planes coming! I think a reno racer would be freakin' awesome. Imagine doing some pylon racing with some 50%ers! Nice!

Oh - how about a Hughes racer with a Moki 250 radial. That would really take my breath a way.
