Description

Slingsby T-53B 111" GliderWhen the Slingsby factory in Great Britain decided to move away from wooden construction, the aluminium T 53 was developed. It features two fixed tandem wheels and a very obvious swept forward wing. The Slingsby T 53B was a minor modification of the Slingsby T 53 two seat tandem trainer, and was used by the RAF for Air Cadet training. Our Laser Cut Kit is based on the 1970 design by Bob Andris. The kit includes a clear vacuum formed canopy. UK

Short Kit Or Complete Airframe Kit?

A Short Kit includes a full size printed plan and all of the laser cut parts that are required as part of the complete airframe build.

Items such as wing ribs, dihedral joiners, fuselage formers & fuselage parts, doublers, bulkheads and so on.

Every part which is a complex cut is precisely laser cut as per the plan and included in the short kit. Some kits may also include vacuum formed ABS parts like canopies or cowlings.

With a Short Kit, the only items you need to add to the laser cut parts to build a complete airframe are components which are simply cut to length. Parts such as wing spars, wing sheeting or fuselage sheeting for example.




A Complete Airframe Kit includes the Laser Cut Short Kit, plus the entire list of additional materials required to complete the airframe build.

Select this option when adding to your cart to purchase all of the materials required to complete the airframe build.

Every kit includes a full size printed plan, and where available the designers original construction notes. The kits do not include miscellaneous hardware such as pushrods, control horns, hinges, wheels etc.

Don’t buy.
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
If you’re looking to dress up as a mime or ghost this is the sunscreen for you. It almost looks like white paint and as the cherry on top it doesn’t even spray evenly. For $20 a bottle you’d expect better quality but yet, here we are. Don’t buy it there are better options out there

Finally - the perfect sunscreen
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I have become religious about using sunscreen - that's what one skin cancer scare will do to you. Since my laying out, baby oil/iodine days I have tried and tossed many sunsceens - facial sunscreens that melt, run and destroy my eyes, sunscreens that discolor my clothes. Enter Sun Bum Mineral - although I miss the sunscreen scent of summer, i will never go back. This brand delivers - rubs in easily, no ghostly cast (I am fair skinned), sprayers that actually spray, no killer eyes, protection that lasts thru sweat/swim. I am a true believer in this brand!

This really works!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
A week on the beach and no burns! It is a little hard to get rubbed in and I probably had a little bit of a white cast on my skin. So worth it though for the protection of me and the reefs.
