Kinetic 100_v2

The Paradigm shifts...

Everything now moves to a new shelf above the top shelf set by the Kinetic 100_v1.  The bar is set here and for all my own work moving forward.  The first model glider to exceed 400 mph,  It is here that my own advisors pay attention, and industry and academia become attracted.

Produced after a sabbatical to level up my own drawing and aero acumen, the customer provided airfoils produced by Dirk Pflug.  The sections were used as seed data to produce the final schedule intended to optimize the entire wing for the uniqueness of DS flight, not the airfoils alone.

Minimalist, extremely consistent and reliable, the model is a workhorse; One a pilot can learn, returning again and again to set personal best records.  It sets the bar for high end design work that follows in multiple model types.
