Paul traveled with his DJ Aerotech Nymph. A 30" mosquito class glider, the Nymph is light, fun and easy to carry for traveling. The fuselage is made of a single layer of fiberglass. For other mosquito class gliders, see the collection at http://scrollsander.com/ChrisSoaring.htm for more information. |

The front view of the Nymph show the square fuselage. Wide enough for small servos, receiver and battery. |

The controls are simple. Two wires are run within the tailboom and exit near the control horns. Keeping the tail control surfaces and horns light permits less weight to be added to the nose for balance. |
