Hand-Held Catapult Glider is a new event in the AMA Competition Regulations. Although it has been popular in the midwest and southwest for quite a few years, this event might be unfamiliar to some, hence this article. These airplanes yield fun out of all proportion to the amount of time devoted to building them, and the use of a catapult that can be carried in a hip pocket (instead of the semi-permanent pole and long rubber motor mandated by the previous rules) should make this a much more popular event throughout the country.
