I think it's a plane that takes off from water with wind power.. Just a pun. I believe it's an R/C glider

It's obviously a flying sailboat, but it could secretly use Energizer batteries for the launch phase.

The difference between a glider and a sailplane is... A glider is considered a descent only proposition, while a sailplane is capable of flying above its launch site. The terms are used pretty much interchangeably now, however.

If you look carefully, you'll see that we are not talking about motorless air PLANES, whether they soar, sail, glide or slope  We are talking about "sail PANES", an as yet un-identified animal which may be nautical in nature! |

What are you talking about, Chris?? Ok, so I fixed it. I bet you thought we weren't paying attention. And you were right, we weren't!! To answer your question, a sailpane is a pane in your sail, not unlike a pane in the neck. ;D ;D |

You sneaky guy. I figured that the only reason it hadn't been changed was that if you changed the title, the file that contains the posts would be deleted or something.
