Any one built or fly this sailplane?
What is your opinion on this 60 inch slope racer?

Thanks for any information .....

My friend had one. He built it very heavy (his fault..he glassed the whole fuse and wing and painted it). It was very fast, and flew well in good wind. At a normal weight, I'd imagine it would fly good in normal wind too.

Sorry the thumbnails are broken. This was built by one of my buddies out at Point Fermin, CA. It's a sloper! Flies pretty good too.

I built my Shark about a year ago and have flown it at least a few dozen times. It was my first slope racer and flies very nice in lighter air. Add ballast and it penetrates well. I put a light layer of glass on the fuse and ultracoated the wing. It came out around 27 o.z. if my memory serves me right. I fly it most of the time with a couple of ounces in it. I actually like the fact that it is an all wood plane. It is holding up very nicely. One negative thing I think could be improved upon. The ailerons I seem to be a bit large. I was told while this helps maneuverability it creates a bit of drag.
good luck
