I found a Hangar 9 Aspire real cheap and was wondering what your thoughts are on this glider?

Then again, I might be biased, since it is the plane I got for a great deal to get back into RC. None the less it is a great beginner plane, IMO.

Status: offline 		I'm also new to gliders an I have an ARF on the way from Tower. I would like to have a larger plane with ailerons and flaps. I would like 118 or more span. Years ago I had a sailplane with 144 inch wing, I loved.
Where can I get a large glider at a reasonable price. Electric power is a must.
