Red Herring by Russ Whitford This 30" micro wing weighs only 5 oz. It seems to be a lower drag wing than the Zagis. Launch is via sidearm tip launch. Heights of 50 feet are easy. This is the best plane for testing the lift at the slope as you can always get it back. It folds in half to pack so is a good traveling companion. It is made of white foam but has proven to be quite durable due to lightweight. I have flown it for 1 year on a $9 lithium camera battery and it still has power. I would guess it has flown over 100 hours. This battery has outlasted 2 sets of transmitter alkaline batteries in the Focus transmitter.
