The Vogel-Fly Batwing is different to most flying wings seen on the slopes in that it features a built-up structure rather than the usual foam and packing tape. Designer, Christian Vogel, wanted a 'Zagi' look-a-like with a difference and spent the best part of a year honing the design and manufacturing processes of the Batwing. It certainly looks the part but under the skin there are some intriguing and clever features. Let's have a closer look, shall we... The Batwingarrives in a plain brown box. Inside it's clear that time and effort has been spent on the actual model rather than fancy box top artwork! The timber is well packed, and bubble wrapped for protection. There is also a laser cut fibre glass sheet and two small bags of accessories. Pretty much everything is included except glue, coveringand radio gear. Notably, there are no instructions included but these can easily be downloaded from the Vogel-Fly website. They are in German but there are lots of photos to guide the builderthrough the assembly. There is also no plan. The model is built over a ply building jig, which is included in the kit-an interesting concept.
