This sure reminds me of my "old" RCHLGs from the 80s! The Larry Jolly Flinger The Midway Models Gnome, the Top Flite Wristocrat and the Davey Systems Ariel to name a few. All balsa construction and generally an E205 wing section made for some nice flying in the good ol' days. Yep, there was such a thing as "micro radio gear" but a heavy 300Mah NiCd battery usually balanced the glider pretty well. Great memories of a kinder, gentler time. Maybe this can be the start of a resurgence of small, cheap, easy to fly wood sailplane models

Is their a web address where we can order these kits?

Hi Henry. Try this one: https://sigmfg.com/collections/alien-aircraft-kits.

The Alien Aircraft Kits sold by Sig are NOT made by Alien Technologies. Alien Technologies has licensed Aloft Hobbies to produce the Micro Aquila, and it is available here: https://alofthobbies.com/collections/thermal/products/micro-aquila

Red hasn't had time to produce these for a while, so he has licensed Aloft Hobbies to make them available again. Here's a current link: https://alofthobbies.com/collections/thermal/products/micro-aquila Good luck!
