DELPHINE - 46-3/4" (1200mm) SPAN SAILPLANE KIT FROM BELGIUM

I BOUGHT THIS SAILPLANE KIT IN 1979 AND IT IS THE SECOND R/C KIT I EVER BOUGHT.   IT IS DESIGNED FOR BUNGIE LAUNCH, HOWEVER THERE ARE PICTURES ON THE PLANS SHOWING A COX .010 POWER POD (NONE OF THE POWER POD PARTS ARE IN THE KIT).

THE INTERESTING PART IS THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN, I BELIEVE, FRENCH, I DON'T KNOW, WHAT LANGUAGE DO THEY SPEAK IN BELGIUM?  ANYWAY, THERE ARE ENOUGH PICTURES TO GET THE IDEA OF HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE MODEL.

I HAD STARTED THE KIT BUT COULDN'T FIND SERVOS SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT.  I WANTED TO RUN 2-CHANNELS AND THE PLANS ONLY CALLED FOR ONE.   WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE HOBBY SHOP TO ASK FOR HELP, HE TALKED ME INTO ANOTHER KIT.

I HAD STARTED TO BUILD THE FUSELAGE BUT I HAVE MADE ALL NEW PARTS SO YOU CAN START FROM SCRATCH.

KIT INCLUDES TISSUE (SILKSPAN?) COVERING AND A YELLOW TINTED CLEAR CANOPY, MACHINED LEADING AND TRAILING EDGES, ONE FULL SIZE PLANS SHEET AND ONE SHEET OF PICTURES.

I CAN ASURE YOU, YOU WON'T SEE ONE OF THESE AT YOUR LOCAL FLYING SITE
