November Catapult Glider

I designed and built this laser cut catapult launched glider.  I wanted to to be especially tough so that it could handle a catapult disaster or high speed crash.  It's pretty tough, but is too heavy to enjoy a decent glide ratio.  The wing spars are reinforced with Kevlar strands.  It is covered with old school polyspan and dope.  I've had the maroon dope that I used since I was about 14, which makes it about 40 years old.
