Indoor towline as intrigued me but I can see it going the way of EZB. Use
something totally light and maybe it takes 5 minutes to tow it up, I am
assuming a towline and not a toss here. The towlines probably will have more
weight than the models in the future...maybe using spider or silk thread
will alleviate? Challenges the imagination...towing a superlight model on
10x fluorocarbon line?

No, but for practicality I'll want to keep the dimensions to around 30"
maximum (assembled) as this is the largest box I have to transport the glider.

are there limits on the wing area (max) and the total mass (min) for the
glider?

I think an indoor style, built-up design is the way to go. Does anyone
have any pointers at indoor towline designs I can take a look at? Since
these gliders are suppose to be tossed rather than launched (the spirit of the
contest is such that the glider never goes above launch height) the model
only has to be sturdy enough to survive gliding, not launching.
Any ideas?
Manuel.
