This sure reminds me of my "old" RCHLGs from the 80s! The Larry Jolly Flinger The Midway Models Gnome, the Top Flite Wristocrat and the Davey Systems Ariel to name a few. All balsa construction and generally an E205 wing section made for some nice flying in the good ol' days. Yep, there was such a thing as "micro radio gear" but a heavy 300Mah NiCd battery usually balanced the glider pretty well. Great memories of a kinder, gentler time. Maybe this can be the start of a resurgence of small, cheap, easy to fly wood sailplane models
The Alien Aircraft Kits sold by Sig are NOT made by Alien Technologies. Alien Technologies has licensed Aloft Hobbies to produce the Micro Aquila, and it is available here:

Red hasn't had time to produce these for a while, so he has licensed Aloft Hobbies to make them available again. Here's a current link:

Good luck!
