A funky 50's sailplane by Frog.
Plan on Outerzone.
This one is unique for its lifting tail and dual fins. As a sailplane, it's not a very smart design. Counter-intuitively enough, you will usually lose more by way of drag than you gain with such a tandem configuration. The Wren's structure is also obnoxious, to say the least- the open boxes just want to snap and fold. After crushing the fuselage in my hand at least once, I finally just rebuilt completely with diagonal braces on the sides. I haven't flown it much; it's a ceiling-swinger.
The color scheme is an homage to the sadly recovered Medicine Man.
