Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / September 2008Recommendation for a glider
Hi guys. Can anyone point me to a sailplane thats not to big and has electric motor for starting? I need something to toss in the air on weekends. I now have 4 kids from 0 to 7, and getting to the airfield isn't easy. I'd like it to be ARF or close to it. What plane would you recommend? Stefan Pettersen Stavanger Norway > Hi guys.

Think its still going. Or multiplex easystar. >> Hi guys. Can anyone point me to a sailplane thats not to big and has >> electric motor for starting?

Do you know if the 900mAh 6 cell battery can be substitutet with a lipo-pack, or is that not recommended? Stefan Pettersen >>> Hi guys.

Wear it out and buy a brushless! > Stefan Pettersen The new Thunder Tiger eHawk 1500 looks like a good value and a nice flying aircraft. http://www.thundertiger-europe.com/ehawk1500.html Good luck and good shopping! > Hi guys.

It comes either ARF or PNP ( just add RX) http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFL2700 PCPhill > Hi guys.

The easystart or easyglider are almost the best andhave a good reputations. BUTT!! There a new kids on the block...The Graupener Junior Sport. This foam glider kost the same and hase a blushless out of the box. where as the multiplex comes with brushed cans. The desing is almost like an easyglider and it flyes al little faster. One down site :( The carbon tube for the wing is to brittle, you need one with a thicker skin. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=866379 TM Bytheway i have one TM > Hi guys.
