I remember buying and building a 6-ft glider called the "Condor" which had a gull wing configuration, for F/F. I put an 049 and 2-ch World radio in it back then, and enjoyed flying it a lot. Would love to build one again. Anyone have a lead to plans/kit/photo?

Does anyone remember this plane?

It takes a while for them to fill orders, but I have always received what I ordered. Their plans are the kit plans, which means if something like a former was only on the printwood, it won't be on the plan.

Go to plans, then old timer gliders.

Yes, that's the one. Is Cleveland selling a KIT for $15?

BMJR has a great laser cut version of the Condor.

http://www.bmjrmodels.com/catalog.cfm?ID=Gliders&ID2=rc

I have pictures of a friends Condor that he added a motor and folding prop onto.

Will try to find the photos I have stored before I release this post.

It flys GREAT and gets a lot of attention.

Pete
