Possibly the "floaty-est" JetCat I have made to date.  It is small (10.5" wingspan), but zooms right up and sets into a very nice glide.  My prototype weighs 13 grams and still floats right along and won its first outdoor contest!  The He178 is a shoulder wing for great glider performance.  The full scale was the first jet aircraft to fly, in 1939.  It never made it to production, but it makes a great glider with simple colorings.
A profile scale catapult glider that is simple to build, light, and a good flyer. Complete kit with all parts (excepting paint and glue!) as follows:
1 sheet 1/8" laser cut balsa wings
1 sheet 1/16" laser cut balsa fuselage
3 sheet 1/32" laser cut balsa fuselage & tail
1 3D printed fuselage nose
1 plan with instructions
2 1/16" square basswood leading edges
1 0.005" carbon fiber fuselage strip
1 FAC-legal catapult handle with rubber
