Modified Leprechaun Glider



Seen without pylon or polyhedral wing


I’m not John.  The plan is available from several sources and if offered by two kit companies

The glider seen in this video is highly modified.   I suggest contacting the builder through YouTube.

Floats like a butterfly! Interesting mods from he original. I love the fuse mods. Appears to not have formers. Several other 'lightning' mods. Obviously a very stable wing in spite of modding the poly to dihedral. Not the most efficient wingplan with only a 6:1 aspect ratio. For mild slopes, absolutely perfect. It flies light and slow for a beautiful dance with it's pilot. A truly special craft.

Hi John,
I´ve been searching your modified Leprechaun for download but nothing found yet.
By the way is it possible for you to release this plant for download?

I was around i7 years old when Dick Twomey had the LEPRACHAUN plan released in the
aeromodeller in 1950 when a TOMBOY was a big model and falling in love with it,but the
SIZE. Since watching John sloping its all on again I,ve got to have one.

Hello John. I do believe that this will my next build.. I am motor-free glider builder & would love to build 'The Leprechaun'.

Just a question, did you start with the standard Leprechaun and modify the wing to remove the dihedral and wing to fuse seat to fit closer.

I would love to also get a modified plan in any format.
Also, thank you for your help.

Everything is said about the video. Really perfect.
I would be interested which wing profile was used for the Leprechaun

Jim Riggle said...

Leprechaun is magnificent, but so is the slope! Where's the slope? Cubnuts in Oregon

Unknown said...

I would be interested in getting the plan as well.

All of the modified Leprechauns have been featured on RC Groups. https://tinyurl.com/y7e5frj9
Hangar One produces a kit modified for RC which retains the pylon, a distinguishing feature whose elimination in these modern renditions saddens me. https://hangaronekits.com/products/leprechaun-103-glider?variant=12935990739032
A less expensive kit is available from Belair in two sizes. http://www.belairdigital.co.uk/detail.asp?id=1278

There is a great kit available from Dane RC - https://dane-rc.dk/product/leprechaun-v3-building-kit/. It can be built with ailerons and they have a 4 meter XL kit as well, beautiful laser cutting and excellent kit and design….
