Flight Log - 2018-08-06 - Matthew Bond's Apogee Mini Condor 002

13mm Boost Glider with unique plastic molded wing joint that gives both a fixed dihedral angle to the balsa wings, but also sets the incident angle of the entire wing when it is attached to the fuselage boom, greatly simplifying both construction and trimming.  Standard boost pod arrangement with a molded plastic glider hook.

Second flight for 1/2A Boost Glide.  Got another nice boost, the small standoff jigs that John Boren brought to the field worked perfectly.  Good separation from the boost pod at apogee and transition into glide.  Caught several small updrafts/thermals during flight and ended up with an 85 second qualified flight.
