Title: Bigger Glider wanted
Post by: johndtuttle on May 31, 2012, 05:46:07 PM
Hey there, super stoked on the current top water gliders you have for sale as kits. They swim as well as any made, imo.

O would like to see a larger one though, as much as 2 inches longer (like 6 -6 1/2 inches) ?

best.

no worries John. I'll take a look at a scaled up version on the cad/cam and see if I can make something work in that range.

I will need you to test them :)

I played with this for a bit this week. Not happy with the scaling. It makes the lure much too fat when I scale it up even proportionally. Just don't like the shape. It doesn't turn me on.
