Semi Scale Sloper
 

I'll be going to Panama City in July for a weeks vacation. There are some nice dunes there approx 50 -60 ft and couple hundred feet long . with hotels of 5 or sostories on top. Last time Itook my Gambler DLG and flew until the wind died. It was ok being rudder / elevator but I'd like to do more than putz back and forth.

I'm looking to build something on the cheap from plans, etc. Something semi-scale with ailerons meaning a scale outline but with an improved airfoil (semi-sym, etc) and approx 60".Does not need to be a handlaunch, I should be able to launch from the dune tops.I like the older styles but anything will do. Any ideas or links. I often thought it would be nice if a company would come up with Scale looking built up slope planes that didnt cost an arm and a leg.

I was digging through my plans.. and found I had plans for the Ridge Runt I had long ago.Going to kitbash that a bit into a V-Tail sorta scale something with a bit longer fuse and wing. :)

A sort of scale Schwiezer 1-26 would make for an easy to build and sharp looking slope toy.  But sorry, I don't know of any plans for one.  But it wouldn't be hard to more or less dump a top deck and canopy on a simple sloper, alter the tail outlines and end up with a "stand back and squint" scale model that looks decent in the air.
