Model Profile - SAI MiniBat




From the Space Age Industries catalog is the MINI BAT boost glider.

I built this one a few years back but have yet to launch it.
Hand thrown trim glides were done, there was a ding in the nose cone. The plans are HERE





It's a short, chunky boost glider.
The wing is large and a long rudder is on the underside.





The view from the back -
There are small raised aerilons on the rear edge of the wing.
And straight on - 
First launches will be with a 1/2A3-2t.
The engine mount tube is a BT-20 so the 13mm engine will be friction fit into an empty 18mm casing. Before flying there will be a few test tosses and clay weight triming.
