Whitewings Variety
Design Type The easiest way to classify gliders is by design type. Whitewings designs can be divided into three major groups. Racers Profile Planes Sport Planes Racers are the easiest to recognize. Their designs are simple, not at all flashy. What they lack in looks, they make up for in jaw-dropping performance. Flight times in excess of a minute are not uncommon. Typical Racers include the Sky Cub III, the Sky Fish II, the Swift, the Snipe, the Macaw and the Gull -- all from the AG664 High Performance Gliders Kit. Next easiest to recognize are the Profile Planes. Profile Planes are typically modeled after real aircraft. Since the goal is realistic design, a bit of overall flight performance has to be sacrificed. (Don't get me wrong: they still fly well. They just don't quite keep up with the Racers mentioned above.) Examples of Profile Planes include the Wright Flyer, the Spirit of St. Louis and the entire six-plane lineup from the AG666 Jet Planes Kit: the V/STOL Jet Fighter, WW-15 Jet Fighter, WW-71 Reconnaissance Jet, Kawasaki T-4 Trainer, WW-22 Jet Fighter, and the WW-18 Jet Fighter. Last but not least are my favorites, the Sport Planes. Sports Planes take the middle ground. Many of the designs are based on real aircraft, but they often include performance-enhancing modifications and wacky decorations like propellers. The result: planes that look great and fly well, too. Examples include Tri-Linears and all of the light planes featured in the AG665 Sport Planes Kit: Bi-Plane, Twin Engine, Flying Boat III, Light Plane 307, Light Plane 308 and the Motor Glider.
