Navy Flier
THE NAVY FLIER is a durable sport model that is easy to build and simple to adjust. Designed as a small-field ship, it can serve well as a club trainer for the younger builder or those new to Rubber Power flying. If it is finished in one of the color schemes of the U.S. Navy fighter squadrons of the 1930s, it looks most realistic in flight. The glide is very flat. Although not exactly a lightweight for its size, it has a decided tendency to float and will hang up there if the thermals are around. It has averaged 34 seconds when hand-wound in a series of timed flights in morning air. Typical winder-wound flights are around a minute to a minute and a half in warm air. Top time so far has been a beautiful thermal-assisted 2:21!
