Yellow Jacket 2M Competition-F3RES With Lite Wing

Description

This is the Model flown by Randy West at the 2021 Nationals in Munch, IN to 1st Place

2 Meter Sailplane for F3RES Class

Wing with Single Half Rib per Full Rib.  The wing is basically the same as the two half rib Yellow Jacket Wing but with one half rib.  The result is a little less weight and an average airfoil that is a little thinner.  Comparing the two is seems to fly a little faster.

Fuselage-Kits are now shipping with the new “Stinger” fuse.  It’s significantly lighter and more streamlined.
