Description
Improved Classic One Design Racer (ODR) kit with fiberglass fuse and sheeted foam core wings.
Inspiration for the kit:
Over the years I have owned several ODR gliders including a LEG EPP ODR, Bad Voodoo Gen 1, and a One Fun copy of a Fun One. I still have the last 2 and enjoy racing in Kansas every spring at the Midwest Slope Challenge. ODR kits are now hard to find. It’s time for a fresh take on the old classic.
ODR design is also a great flying all rounder that will fly in about any conditions on any slope. They tend fly quick in the air with no bad habits and are durable.
Improvements I hope to achieve with a new ODR including fuse design vs the others I’ve flown:
– Longer Nose – to allow easier balancing
– Long tail for better tracking on the straight part of the race.
– Slightly swept LE of the wing to make the plane track without stick inputs but not so swept that it hurts the turning ability.
– More aerodynamic fuse shape.
– Easy to grip fuse under the wing for big launches
– Wide area at the rear of the fuse to make gluing the stab in place easier
– Slip on nose cone as I think it is more aerodynamic than a hatch and it makes a stronger fuse.
– Bladder setup for the fuse to make easier production of fuses when the time comes.
