which kit as second glider?
I built a Cambrian Elan 100" a few years ago as a first kit/first plane and I love it...if you dont know it, it's 2 a function glider much like a spirit - it put up with so much abuse too!
Now I want to do another kit (no ARF's) but something a little more challenging to fly and to build - between 80 and 130"...any ideas?
Also I'd like to do a slope soarer ...what's a good kit???
I don't mind a challenging build so builders kits are welcome
Thanks

RE: which kit as second glider?
My Marauder, a 115" RES glider by MM Glidertech is coming along nicely. I am in the middle of sanding everything now. It is capable along the slope as well, having been used for at least one individual's 8 hour slope duration task for the League of Silent Flight. Alternatives abound, however, in this marketplace -- SkyBench Aerotech SkyBird looks nice at 132", LaserArtCos Majestic looks fantastic as well.
