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.

To heavy
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Vest is heavy and frankly very warm can’t see in what environment I’d wear it because at 40-50 I would use light down coat with sleeves I returned from t same day I reviewed it

gloves without a gauntlet
Color: (001) Black / Black / Reflective, Size: Medium
Needed short gloves with no gauntlet - these are great! Not super thick, but I didn't want heavy gloves for walking. Fit just as expected, I used the measurements suggested on the UA website. So far, good quality and holding up well. I plan on getting another pair!

Worked perfectly for a long, cold run!
Color: (001) Black / Black / Reflective, Size: Medium
These worked perfectly! They aren’t the warmest but do the job for long cold runs in Texas. I ran a half marathon in 40 degree weather with these on and they kept me warm. They are a bit smaller in size, similar to what other reviewers have said. But I’m a small woman with small hands so the size medium I ordered were perfect. They were warm enough that I took them off at about mile 6. So overall, I’d definitely recommend for a light coverage, snug fit, glove.
