We are now offering the Super Sinbad SAM glider from the 40's in laser cut kit form. It is a great little semi-scale, lightweight and capable design with undercambered wing and conventional vertical and horizontal tails which is easily updated for radio control or can be built from original plans for SAM qualified competition as a towline glider.
The Super Sindbad designed in '42 by Henry Struck and kitted by Berkeley models has a 62" wingspan. and weighs less than 20 oz. all up, covered with micro radio gear.
Our kit consists of 4 sheets of laser cut 3/32" x 3 x 18 balsa and 4 sheets of laser cut 1/8" x 3 x 18 balsa plus one sheet plans and a small piece of .020" PETG for the windscreen. Builder will need to supply shear webs, stringer stock and leading/trailing edge and spars etc. plus cements and covering materials to complete the model.
Plans have complete building notes/instructions and show locations and assembly of tow hooks, nose skid, flying surface hinging and servo location for two channel (rudder-elevator) RC operation. This model is a great funflyer for the end of the day or for a first built-up balsa glider and teaching conventional building to youngsters.
