My 2nd RC plane. The first was a single channel (rudder) with a 1.5 cc diesel engine. Don't remember the name

The design shown in Outer Zone is a Slope Soarer. IHC provided their version with a Power Pod, on which a small engine could be mounted

This model is also now kitted by Sharma's of Jodhpur as "Apple Box", available both as a kit and an ARF

I have the pleasure of constructing and flying both - Apple Box and Orange Box, in aeromodelling section, during NCC days.
I learnt RC flying on Orange Box using 1.5 cc Diesel engine installed on a power pod above the wing.
I loved this RC Glider and wanted to buy one for myself at that time, but dropped the idea after flying a RC power airplane and also due to the 7-8 foot long wing span of the glider.
