Who sells Scale Sailplanes with up&go's?
I am looking for a scale sailplane (3-4M) with an up&go packaged with it. I know Icare-RC sells them, but was wondering if any other manufacturers do as well. I am looking for a single place Discus. If this is not available, a differnt single place will do. Icare seems to sell mainly two place w/ the up&go systems. Also, any comments about the quality /flying characteristics of these kits would be greatly appreciated.
After searching this forum, I found several examples of people who combined an up&go with a sailplane on their own. I am hesitant to try this on my own. I consider myself to be an above average builder, but my experience is more in line with large 40% aerobatic planes. I am comfortable with fiberglass, sheeting foam, painting, etc, but have never even SEEN an up&go installation in person.
Thanks in advance for yor advice.

Thanks Michael -
I see you are in the Cincinnati area. Does anyone around here do any aero-towing? I fly with the Comair club and we have talked about it, but never gotten it done.
I want a scale ship. Since aero-towing is not readily available, I wanted to look at the up&go units. Do you think a hi-start would work on say a 3M plane or would I have to go to a winch?
