Help please
Hi all, iam in need of some advice on getting into Electric Assist gliders or hotliners.
at the moment i fly a 36inch wing with a 3 cell lipo (11.1v), brushless 16/15/5 mega motor and a 6x4 APC prop
this is the glider i like most in size and looks nice scale (not sure how it will fly) http://www.modelflight.com.au/rc_mod...lanes_grob.htm
this one good price some advice http://www.modelflight.com.au/rc_mod..._dragonfly.htm
nice size (bit bigger) http://www.modelflight.com.au/rc_mod...nes_petrel.htm
any other ideas would be great to
also do i need to put a brushless motor into the glider cause most stock motors suck.
(dont want to spend to much money but dont want to have **** stuff eather)
cheers

I fly slope gliders and I fly thermal duration gliders. I don't fly electric gliders yet, but the ones I am looking at are all oriented toward thermal duration use. That is why I asked.
I can't really advise you on which plane as we are looking for different things in the plane.

RE: Help please
That's one reason I have a Storm 2M from SOBOX. I like to thermal but once in a while I get a bit crazy with speed. Quite a few (most?) thermal planes really don't like to be abused with aerobatics.
Planes like the Storm have a hollow molded wing and are built to take the rigures of aerobatics but will thermal nicely too. I'm running a F10LMR on 7 to 10 cells to get it up there quickly but you could go a less expensive route and still have fun.
