This is a kit for Bruce Kimball’s Hoosier Baby Daddy 24” tip launch glider. This kit uses my new pop forward fuselage design and comes with a wing blank that allows for a 26” or a 24” wing as you prefer. The kit also comes with an ultra stiff carbon boom, a small hardware pack and the stab and fin. The wing blank is broken into a leading and trailing edge with the trailing edge already tapered and ready for final shaping. The wood used is 6-7# stock, and usually C-grain. You will be asked to select either “RDT” (I supply a fuselage with a hollow cavity for RDT servo and electronics) or “Standard” (I supply a fuselage designed for a silly putty timer as well as the timer parts and some silly putty). If you need a micro or nano servo that will fit a glider fuselage see here (note that the GS1083 is ideal for this smaller glider).

This kit can be purchased as a standard kit or a deluxe kit. See instructions here to get a sense of how the kit goes together.

1. the standard kit includes the wood required to build the glider as well as a boom and the basic hardware to assemble the wing pivot and timer.

2. The deluxe kit includes a set of jigs and tools that are assembled from a sheet of laser cut parts. The jigs help with fuselage alignment, stab angle and alignment, and fin alignment. The tools include a series of angled sanding blocks for the dihedral joints and 3D printed airfoil shaped sanding blocks for sanding the airfoils.
