The Leprechaun was designed by R A Twoomey in 1950 as a low aspect ratio free flight glider, and was a record breaker in it's day. Although the span is only 103", the wing and tail area are huge!

This is the original full scale plan for the 103" free flight glider. If you wish to build RC tail surfaces (rudder & elevator required) the glider is suitably converted to RC. (Conversion details are not shown on the plan. This is the original free flight plan). Most of those who convert the glider to RC also drop the use of the pylon mounted wing and rubber band the wing directly to the top of the fuselage, ensuring to keep the cord line parallel.

The original plan only includes the drawing for the right hand wing, so I will include a mirror image print of the wing, so you have both a left & right hand wing plan to build over.

Wingspan: 103" / 2616mm Number of channels: 2 Number of sheets: 1 Extra Long + Wing Plan
