“Skippy” replica (2022)

A fun challenge. This is a dimensionally accurate copy of Australian Les and Arthur Janetzki’s famous design. My employer discarded empty cable spools which had hard-to-find 6-ply, 7mm birch end pieces...and the Janetzki’s used similar size. Hmm. It helped to have a real Skippy for reference, and I confirm their 30-35m flights are nearly identical.
