I never had an Olympic II back in the late 70's, but I do now. Perhaps the most iconic and well known design from the Golden Years of RC sailplanes. It was structurally simple and functional, but super effective sniffing out thermals, and another marvellous design from Lee Renaud. Here's the full build, maiden flight and a little history. ( don't forget to check out my video of The famous Ridge Runner , great when it's way too windy for an Olympic II)
