The A020 is an easy to build 20" hand toss glider. The A020 is adapted by Tom Martin
from the early Frank Zaic/Jetco plan for his Thermic "B" (the Thermic "B" has an 20" wingspan). Frank Zaic designs
are classic and Tom Martin has carefully created the CAD files
necessary to convert the plans into laser cut kits ready for you to
build. This kit costs USD$19.99 plus shipping and handling. Click the

NEEDED TO COMPLETE MODEL:
Building
the A012 is a fairly basic project that can be achieved by the
first time modeler. This is a great kit to introduce young boys to the
hobby.You will find that constructing the kit is fast and easy while
providing a few challenges for the young ones to conquer. You can build
the A012 at the kitchen table and it will take you about an hour
from start to finish to complete the kit. First a few tools must be
gathered up in order to start construction.
- Glue, most any type of wood glue will work.
- Sharp modeling knife such as an Xacto knife.
- Ruler that can measure down to 1/16”.
- Medium to fine sandpaper, about 220 grit.
- Wax paper or Saran
- Building surface - anything flat and that can be cut on, magazine, cork board, etc...
As with any other project that involves tools or glues, take care to observe any safety precautions included with the tools or glue. This kit is fine for boys 5 years and older as long as there is adult supervision at all times.
