The Jouster. Built from scratch by me from AMA Plans; article can be found in the March 1994 issue. Designer: Harley Michaelis.
Both planes have built up, balsa-sheeted wings, finished with clear polyurethane and Krylon on the tips for color. Fuselage is thin birch ply entirely covered with fiberglass. I believe it to be nearly indestructable. Tail surfaces are covered with Monokote.
Control surfaces are aileron/rudder/elevator/flap. Radio is the RCD Hitec Prism 7x. It's not a sailplane radio, but unlike my old AM Futaba FG series, it works.
I finished my green Jouster first. Dean got sidetracked with building a 2M Alcyone and muskie fishing. I made a joke that some day if he didn't finish his Jouster, he'd come in some day to find that I had. At that point, Dean said that I could finish the plane if I let him fly it.
