Default Aero-retrieve WING-RUNNER

Gang,
These are great items. I donated a set - one for thick wing and thin
wing - to my club. They are kept in the club house and taken by the
towplane for aero retrieves. I, unfortunately, have had a chance to
use it on all kinds of surfaces and it works just as JJ describes.

Several pilots have asked me to build them a copy of my WING-RUNNER. It assembles by inserting 2 pins and slips over your wing tip, held in place with good old duct tape (provided). Keeps the wing tip about 6" off the runway/grass/gravel/short weeds! Collapses to 8" X 2" X 2" for easy storage
Put it on the up-wind wing, climb in and hold full stick away from the down wing. The ship will roll straight as an arrow on main, tail and WING-RUNNER. You can't tell its on there (no yaw into the wheel can be noted) E-mail me for photos. $99.95 and I pay the shipping. * * *
