Review by: Michael Fritz
Dune Freak 1.2mI received my Dune Freak kit very quickly from Neil. Kit was well packed for US shipping and arrived in short order, but there were some triangular parts missing and I had to wait on those before beginning assembly of this neat little slope sailplane. I had wanted to take it with me on a recent road trip through the upper Rocky Mountains as there were bound to be some locations that were perfect for flying...but I didn't get it finished in time. I will be flying it on a local slope that is located less that 2 miles from my home and I hope to post images and flight report then.
