3-Meter Scooter

IT DOESN'T TAKE a high-tech model to win in Sailplaning. This design is neither an F3B type nor a slow floater but offers some of the advantages of both. The 3-Meter Scooter is simple, stable, and consistent within a moderate speed range. It will move out to find good air and then float in the lightest lift.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I read somewhere a claim that the Two-Meter RC Sailplane class was dying out and was not very popular. I don't know where this writer got his source, because everywhere I go, it is getting bigger than ever. The 1982 Nats was no exception. The Two-Meter event had more entries than any other Sailplane class. There are several new kits of this size on the market, and more neat designs are coming out every month. When I saw some of the beautiful Two-Meter multi-channeled Sailplanes with ailerons at the 1982 Nats, and looked at the number of well-known outstanding pilots I had to fly against, I figured my Scooter and I had to do the best we could. At least the Scooter did its part, placing first in the event.
