Which EPP gilder can fly in the lightest wind? :D
Hi,
I am curious that which gilder (EPP) can fly in the lightest wind?
It is very frustrated that to go to a slope but the wind is light... I am looking for a glider that can fly even the wind is something like 4-5 mph.
Thank you.

There is one plane popular for light winds in your area, the Weasel. It is available from flyweasel.com.

Hi.
Check this one out.. This one should be able to fly in the lightest wind.

You can also download a small movie of the model flying. It's beeing airtowed by a Sopwith park flyer.
I also heard of one who ridge soard this model over a fairly small hedge..
Realy cool.

Hey guys, Kyang is looking for an EPP glider. The Habicht and are EPS planes. Although the Zagi is really a hybrid, due to it's EPP leading edge. How about the Moth from North County Flying Machines?

Take a look at the Dragonette Micro HLG from Daves Aircraft Works. It's made from EPP foam, requires 2 channels and can fly in very light winds... although it does look a bit ugly IMHO. I've got one, and find it most amusing during periods of very light winds on a slope.
You can see it in flight at Fort Ebey, Washington in my RCU gallery.
