Olympic II+power conversion=FUN
Just finished building this old Airtronics Olympic II glider kit that I found and powered it with a vintage OS fp .15 to get me to a quick searchable altitude. I'm having a blast with it. Cheap thrills all the way! Highly recommended for an enjoyable, relaxing change of pace.

That's a great airplane, but, I would have used an electric motor. I think it would last longer that way. I used to fly these years ago off winches and high-starts. They were great fun and real thermal finders. Good luck with yours. Airtronics used the best wood in their kits.
