Euphoria - 2014/11
The dictionary offers a number of words and phrases to define euphoria including joy, happiness, high-spirits, and delight. So that seemed an apt name for this model. When it soars off in a thermal, I truly feel euphoric!

several years in the making
SoarCerer - 2008/03
This FAI-legal Towline model
can also compete in the
NFFS Classic Glider event. THE SOARCERER’S
ancestry dates back to
1967, when fellow Brooklyn
Skyscraper, Bill Dunwoody, had
plans for his Soar Sam A-1 Towline
Glider published in the July Flying
Models magazine. Both of my sons
competed successfully with Soar Sams for
many years.
