Default Really small and light aerobat

A profi eh? I think I could scratch build one of those for less than $20 in material. Very interesting.

I was just reading about some of the technology that is being used in the latest crop of discus style had launch gliders. If some of those techniques were used on a mini-3D, you could probably build a .15 powered 36 inch wing model for 14 oz. Even if you didn't use all the high tech materials, you should be able to do it for 20 oz. I think that would be pretty darn cool. You could do an entire turn-around sequence over the runway.

I think Lone Star Balsa is calling my name.
