Hello!

I have been flying my Dynaflite Daydream 2 meter sailplane for a few years now, both handlaunch and on a winch, but am looking for a kit that offers a step up in performance. I am looking for something with a larger span, but still retains the ease of flight as the 2 channel Daydream. Spoilers or flaps would be an added bonus, but only if the aircraft is still "floaty". I'm not interested in heavy, fast sailplanes or a powered glider. (which is an oxymoron...)

Any (inexpensive) aircraft advice would be welcome!

Thank you,

Graeme

I's say the Bird of Time. You could build it with just ruder and elevator, though you should ad spoilers to. You haven't seen "Floaty" till you see the BOT float three feet off the ground for the entire length of a 1,000 foot runway! LOL

Your already familiar with Dynaflight so why not stay with them for your next one? http://www.dynaflite.com/airplanes/gpma0570.html

This probably is more that you want to pay but I'll pass it by you any how. This model is a F/G fuse and built up tailplane and wings has spoilers in wing $250 delivered. If this piques your interest here are the details
This model design is from 1978 Chris Foss a well known English designer and kit Mfr., cam up with this design for thermal/slope use, Chris won the British nationals thermal event with this same design and the model was a prototype.
built this model from plans the wing is open bay structure covered in orange Oracote underside and white opaque on top surface. Fuselage is an original and the canopy was made last year from Lexian. I have been flying it since 2008 off a bungee and winch in club compititions but now my eyesight is failing hence the sale.
Flying the model has excellent thermal capabilities, the rudder is balsa laminate as are the tail feathers Rudder is via pull pull cables elevator all flying is via a torque rod, spoilers are spring loaded and positive opening via servos in stalled hook up via extension in root of wing into fuse male/female. has a large capacity battery for duration ad cc/g balance.
Can e-mail pictures if you want.
Oh! I have flown this on the slope and because the spoilers are so effective landing is a breeze.
Model has scratches on underside of fuse wing has two small punctures on top of wing, Honier balsa wing tips and tailplane show small scuffs from constant use but no structural problems
It has a custom switch that when you remove the plug model is switched on, the removable plug has a charge plug wired into it, it just makes a neat installation.
A s I say if you need picture let me know

Don't hate the powered glider, hate the guy that uses the motor the entire flight rather than just using it to gain a little altitude before shut off and glideing. LOL
