Aiglet ~ Laser-cut rib-set

Note: This is not a complete kit. A plan is not included, and additional materials are required to complete the model.

Here's a nice early example of a simple Nordic A/1 tow line glider. 

Technically, the refinements of A/1 design boil down to provision for stable towline performance, plus the ability to circle fairly tightly and give a low rate of sink. Aiglet has all these assets, with a 23 per cent tailplane and modified MVA 301 airfoil section on the 10:1 aspect ratio wing to bring it up to date with the latest high-performance fashion - a well-trimmed version could well be capable of a 1:45 average in calm air from a 164 ft towline - get building!"
