The JW is one of many DS gliders made from EPP foam, and eager and excited to work without compensation of any kind; entirely at my own expense with not even a copy of the model as asked, the Thundertaker customer wanted it formed up to a full composite airframe.  Unable to convince that the airfoil is not at all right for the project, it moved ahead to a model produced in China by submitting the CAD drawings.

Though simple and straightforward, the company had trouble producing the parts.  Wings arrived warped, and the entire airframe just was not up to par.  Flight was not satisfactory, again for the application of an inappropriate airfoil.

Flying wing success was fully realized though with the ‘Windfire‘ by Gary Smith.  Built to multiple spans, that model is big fun on the slopes of Australia.
