The aerodynamics of a towplane in a kiting glider situation by Tom BravoMike

Unmanned gliders: flights of fancy by Tom Gardner[_2_]
ALTHOUGH undeniably graceful, gliding has until now been suitable only for pleasure flights. But this is changing, as researchers exploit wind power to enhance the capabilities of unmanned aircraft, especially small drones. Soon, these gliders will be able to stay aloft for weeks. They will thus be...

FS: Gap Tape by Tom Johnson
40 Rolls of white gap tape for $45 Shipping paid to addresses in the USA. This tape is good for single day use. Put it on, fly, take it off. It is NOT as good as the $8 to $15 a roll tape, but for about $1.10 a roll it is a reasonable alternative.
