Shark Slope Racer , ARF by Northeast Sailing Products
Northeast Sailplane Products Shark Slope Glider ARF. 60" wingspan. AUW 710g.
The ARF Kit was purchased at the Baylands barbecue, raffle , fly-in, and swap meet organized by Ray M. Sean dared me to purchase this kit , and I did it (while he was not looking) . Maiden flight at Coyote Hills. Flying with Chad, who gave a few pointers on trimming and CG location. Notice the scary launch, his launches were much better after trimming ! Many Thanks Chad . This is my first real slope racer plane and I am very happy with it !

Reason: add man pages and pics on the CG machine

on the third day at the slope in Coyote Hills, had a midair with JP's plane.
The wing of the Shark was destroyed... so here it is, a new Frankenplane is born : decided to re-purpose the wing from an Easy Star , and here is the result the AUW is 576g = 20.3 oz the WL is 7.3 oz/sq in will see if the weekend looks OK for the new maiden. |

well, yet another twist, now with wings from a Predator:
It flies notably faster now than with the previous iteration, but not as well as with the original wings. The wingspan is now 66"
