Try the Norvel. I hear good things about it.
Good luck and hope you get to fly soon.

Damm you'r lucky john, it's blowing a gale around here and i haven't had a fly in over 5 weeks. but i have a Zagi on the way, so i might be doing a bit of sloping after Chrismas, after i get my advanced trainer going. any idea what a good replacement for an OS10 might be?

Status: offline 		well, i've just had some of the best flights ever, and none of them on my trainer. first by building instructor gave me a fly on his "Park Stepp" slow flyer, and i loved that, then my flying instructor came and gave me a fly on his 11oz 7-cell glider, covered with lightspan. it is the most docile little thing i have ever flown. I can't wait for next saturday, cause by then i'll have my Zagi($50 from a toy shop with mixer) and micro RC submarine(from a local electronics shop called Jaycar). hope you all have a merry xmas

Take your time and think about everything that could make youy plane act like it is.
You will figure it out. Let me know if I can help.
Make sure you charged the battery.

Status: offline 		If you have the rubberband inside, the canopy should not come off, but if it wants to fly open, you can attach the rubberband to the inside of the canopy and then just "chin strap" it around the front bottom of the plane. That is what I do.

I used a couple of small nylon tywraps to reattach the hatch when mine broke off. Easy to do. Some places sell them in orange so they even look pretty good.
