Description

Leprechaun 103" GliderThe 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! Our kitset is engineered true to the original design, with the under cambered aerofoil, pylon mounted wing and tailplane, and stick construction of the fuselage. We have re engineered the tailplane mounting for a simple and sturdy mount, and drawn a new plan

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!

Our kitset is engineered true to the original design, with the under cambered aerofoil, pylon mounted wing and tailplane, and stick construction of the fuselage. We have re-engineered the tailplane mounting for a simple and sturdy mount, and drawn a new plan showing the RC conversion of the rudder and tailplane, and the new tailplane mount.

    Short Kit Or Complete Airframe Kit?

    A Short Kit includes a full size printed plan and all of the laser cut parts that are required as part of the complete airframe build.

    Items such as wing ribs, dihedral joiners, fuselage formers & fuselage parts, doublers, bulkheads and so on.

    Every part which is a complex cut is precisely laser cut as per the plan and included in the short kit. Some kits may also include vacuum formed ABS parts like canopies or cowlings.

    With a Short Kit, the only items you need to add to the laser cut parts to build a complete airframe are components which are simply cut to length. Parts such as wing spars, wing sheeting or fuselage sheeting for example.




    A Complete Airframe Kit includes the Laser Cut Short Kit, plus the entire list of additional materials required to complete the airframe build.

    Select this option when adding to your cart to purchase all of the materials required to complete the airframe build.

    Every kit includes a full size printed plan, and where available the designers original construction notes. The kits do not include miscellaneous hardware such as pushrods, control horns, hinges, wheels etc.

    Best WDT Tool Every Espresso Lover Needs
    This tool is so easy to use. It comes with a handy holder you can stick on the side of your machine and even replacement needles for the tool itself. I’ve had the tool for over a year now have not had to replace any of the needles! The 3M adhesive on the back of the holder is amazing quality. It won’t come off your machine. The tool itself helps take out the guesswork with your espresso shot, making sure the grounds are evenly distributed before you tamp.

    Very nice but no replacement needles?!?!
    The tool looks and feels great. It is very well crafted and packaged. The mount works well (both magnetic and tape). I would rate 5 stars except that it did NOT come with the replacement needles specifically called out in the description.

    Good value
    I like how it comes with the magnet mount as well as a sticky backed metal piece to use. It has a nice weight to it too, it doesn’t feel cheap.

    Get this for your coffee bar
    Perfect for your grounded coffee. I attached this to my ninja machine, and this was so good. It is out available for next use. No problems with it falling down.

    High Quality
    This tool has very nice weight (all metal) and very nice machined finish. Feels very premium without the premium price. Well thought out with the magnetic base or 3m double sided tape included. Nice that they included replacement needles. Would definitely buy again.
