While I was visiting my family in western Pennsylvania, I had an opportunity to watch and photograph one of my father’s R/C Gilder events; “Glider Golf 2010″. It’s a 9 hole course; 3 separate launches using an electric winch with 3 “holes” (Hula-Hoops). The smallest number of “strokes”, wins. Sounds like fun!
My father securing the wing using “gum bands”…LOL!
Launching using an electric winch…
You can see the hook and line on the winch.
It can get pretty close at times…
I couldn’t help myself…
You can view more pictures on my dad’s website, Single Stick Stuff: Glider-Golf Event 2010. Thanks for looking!
