Both these top performing gliders use traditional wood construction
throughout. Their light wing loading and smooth steady handling allows
the pilot to exploit those light, tight thermals to the full. They are
ideal all purpose models and established favourites with both sports
and competition flyers, with numerous reports of improved flight times
and scores.

| The strong spar system makes them ideal for
fast towing or bungee launching. Wings dismantle into three pieces for
easy transportation, the centre panel is bolted to the fuselage and the
tips are plugged on with angled carbon fibre joiners. Although optional,
spoiler details are shown on the plans. The wing section is a modified
Eppler 193, thinned to 91/5% with the undercamber removed making it easy
to build. |
| The fuselage has been designed with durability
in mind and has enough room for standard size radio equipment. The controls
are rudder, all moving tailplane and optional spoilers. |
| Building the Eliminator 100/134 will require
some previous experience as the kits to not come with building instructions.
As a guide all parts are numbered on the plan in building sequence. Wing
sheeting, spoilers and radio installation accessories are left for your
own selection. |

take the standard Eliminator 100/134 wing section, although this would
also suit many other wing sections like SD7037 etc with little modification.
