Swinger plans available again

Plans for the exciting Team Monkey Swinger are available again through the West Cornwall Slopers website here. I’ve watched the Swinger evolve over the years from the original 36″ Depron foamie to today’s 48″ Evolution composite with the fantastic TP42 airfoil. The plane and flying it evokes just gets better and better!! Highly recommend intrepid builders give one a go, looks like too much fun not to :)

Another great Swinger video… watch for a very sweet inverted flat spin towards the end ;-)

Swinger 48

The Swinger is the product of two years’ worth of collaboration, development and refinement by some very talented and dedicated pilots from the UK. It began with a pure Depron design and has now evolved into a hotwire cut bagged wing with fiberglass and carbon reinforced fuselage. Obviously the hard work has paid off!! These performances by Steve “Thepastyflyer” (top) and Gary “Hexosex” (bottom) do not disappoint. Good work gents! :)

Very nice flying in light lift… check out the inverted performance of that TP42 airfoil, gotta love it!
