This is a picture of my new model for the gallery, it's a 4 meter span scale Gheppio, 1950s vintage, Italian design. As yet to fly when conditions allow.4mtr wing span at 40%scale, it has a wing loading of 22oz or there about. AUW is 22.5 lbs (10.2kgs) so I will need a strong man to launch it along with a good blow.

Vic finally gets the chance to fly his new glider
