I think Madd is out of business. I have their Highlander, but haven't built it yet. If anyone knows anything else please post.

MAD has been out of business for over two years. You might want to pick another plane! The Weasel is probably the most popular small sloper these days.

RE: help! trying to find sailplane!
I'm also looking for this kind of plane, but I'd rather have a conventional glider with tail surfaces and something that the wings break down. I'd like a 48" span with a wing joiner so I have 2 24" pieces and a small pod and boom fuse, like the GP Fling but a two piece wing. I want it to keep at my mother in-laws in the Bahamas so I have something to fly when I'm there and can keep in her attic. Ideally it would be electric powered too, and with small(HS-81) servos that I could remove and take with me when I visit. Slope is the next best thing as there are many dunes that I can use for lift. I want to keep something there and it has to be easily transported on a small airpalne and I'd rather not have to take fuel with me, I have a ll the chargers and LiPo batteries so a small electric would be great. I would like to also have a small sloper as there are many dunes nearby. I have an old Talon that will work but I'd rather have something for lighter lift and that breaks down smaller.

I was looking for a glider once. It took about a half hour to find it buried nose first in the ground.
Try the Great Planes Spirit 2 meter. Excellent starter.
