Status: offline 		Wow, check the weight of either of the listed planes first.

As far as Esprit and ZB, only good for the past 9 years or so.

Status: offline 		I am somewhat of newbie to soaring. I taught myself to fly with a Craftair Wind Drifter, and I have have flown a few different gliders since then. What is the typical weight of a glider this size? I am wanting a good sailplane to get into competing with. I am on a limited budget, thats why I had these two in mind. I have been building and flying R/C for 40+ years. thanks for the info.

Status: offline 		For a comptition sailplane you are looking at around 2000 grams or so.

You can save a ton on buyer a good used ship.

There is a Tragi 705X RTF for sale on this forum. They come in around 2150 grams. Stong as hell and fly great. Not the newest great RED floater yet still nice. The $1200.00 is for a ship that cost $1800.00 plus $500.00 gear plus build.

You can find cheaper still. I picked one up early last year for about $350.00.

There is not much for sale here but over on R C groups dot com there are much more.

Better yet seek out and find a club near you. Better deals and lots of help to boot too.

Take your time and do the research for you make the best choice the first time.
