The Canterbury Eraser is supposed to be an indestructible slope soarer, made from expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam - well almost indestructible, as it turned out.
Landing on a slope and in strong winds is always fraught with danger, particularly when there are fence posts in the way.
Specifications:
Airfoil: Selig 3016
Span: 1.2M
Length: 0.8M
Weight: 650g
Control: Elevator/Aileron
The Eraser is fun to fly, but suits a moderate to strong breeze only. As an aviation purist, I was horrified to see the way the wings are taped to give strength and color.
