Bummer Bob...we've had some sun here but high winds with gusts...blew a limb off the tree in the backyard. So no flying here either.

Looking good Bob!! The Wren has been on my "to do" list for a while now so I am keen to see how this one flies!! (You've actually reminded me about my Wagtail-I reccon I was going to try to make a bungee set up for it. I'd forgotten all about that.....need to start thinking about that again!!)

Hey Bob,

The tissue covering looks real nice, I don't see any wrinkles.  Will you add any decoration or ornamentation?  You've excited my childhood memory's of model gliders.  Once trimmed that incredible glide ratio,  the sensitivity and stability to the slightest air currents.  Just real exciting.  I hope that's what you experience.

Thanks Tom and Pete for the card stock idea, l will try it after the first flights and l share the photos.

I am now getting the board ready for a Berkley Sinbad Jr. I thought that it was just too pretty looking to pass up.

Bob

Holding out on us for sure!!!!!!

The Wren looks awesome Bob!  Love the black and yellow.  I agree with the covering the wing center section with the 1/32.  I'm surprised the plans don't call for some reinforcement.  You might try covering some cardstock with the black tissue and covering that area with the covered card stock.  The yellow over the cardstock might stand out a bit much/ then again it might not!  Just a thought. Shouldn't add too much weight in that area.

Again well done
Tom

David, the plans call for 3/32 wood which I like to build with more than 1/16.

Bob

Frog's approach to the wing spar was a little different to my thought and l am still not happy with how it came out plus now that the wing is covered l see the need to have covered the center section with some 1/32 to protect the wing from the rubber bands.
