 Manufacturer: Phil Barnes/NSP 

Construction Techniques:

Phil brought several Logics with him.  The wing is kevlar cloth.  The Front portion of the wing is a kevlar-carbon fiber weave.  The fabric is best seen in the additional photos below.  The pod is carbon fiber also.  According to nearly all those who tried to launch high, Phil was launching the highest.  The tailboom has a large diameter, which reduces the twisting of the small tail during launch.  Phil ran full span flaperons.

Phil builds many of the planes for NSP.  For more information visit the Northeast Sailplane Products at:
