Among the first of my glider-changes were gliders with jetengine(s).

The first one was the USAF jet"glider", but it has no fitting landing gear and the wing attachment to the hull must go over and under the jet engines which which is not an easy construction.

The other one is the LS-8j(et) which probably doesn't exist, but I have seen gliders with a jet engine used for stuntflying on airshows.

The models are all based on Revells 1:32 gliders, LS-8 and ASK-21, but these seem to be no longer available.

The only one still available is the Duo Discus with "pop up"engine, Of which I bought a lot for further changing.
