Default Windrifter mod

When I built my Windrifter, I copied the parts and built a second. This one has been sitting for years. After my accident, I can't fly them because I can't string a histart easily or walk up the hill to slope soar. I cut the nose off this one last night and put in an electric motor I had in the drawer so I can launch it off my deck and fly it.

What do you think? It should be a fun one and didn't change the CG. Cool! [8D]

Very nice. I love a big floater like that. I bet it will fly like a dream.
