It has started during covid, when, after 20years of epoxy and polystyrene glider build, I had enough time to come back to classic and scratch build. I had not able to forget my first build in 1976. The result, 2 winter later is a Heron from Hangaronekit (https://hangaronekits.com/products/heron-152-glider) made it's maiden flight.
But you know what, "not big enough my sun...". The B4 was in my mind since 10 years and LCS had a short kit of the right size.
Q: Hello Cliff, could I get a kit.
R: you bet!
Summer was dedicated to flying in the Alps, while the laser was working hard. A few weeks later, the magnificent green coroplast box arrives and the French Post had neither destroyed it, lost it or pretended they had no clue who I was ...
Here we are , back home and ready for unpacking, just a few days ago, and as I had promised Cliff to document the build.
First key question , I need a longer workshop table, as I will most probably choose to build wings in one piece
( "honney, we should think of a new car.. Heu, let's say a longer car. What? what do you mean by "why"... )
I'll let you know in a few month how that conversation has unfolded
As I could not resist opening a few bags and take a look at the Stabilizer drawing. See the first picture
NB: To close this post, a big thank you to both Cliff for the quality of the short kit and Jilles Smits for the great design. I will probably have a few questions!
