Hi. I have just purchased my first Glider. It is the CM Pro Discus CetcS 2.65 Mtr. I have been flying powered models for a few years, and was looking for a challenge. My eventual goal is to be able to aerotow it up for thermalling. But nobody at my club flies sailplanes, except for he occasional e powered thing. I do have a tug available. A multiplex Big Lift. Initially, I will try the bungie (hi start). Followed by a cradle, then aerotowing. But all of this is daunting for me.

The first question is, is my plane suitable for what I want to do? What launch methods can this plane handle. etc, etc.

I will just see where this goes before the rest of the questions.

Thanks

I had also posted about this ship.. there is a HUGE thread (41pages) on rcgroups, under "scale sailplanes" hope this helps.. just got mine in last week, havent started on her yet but looks very good for 100 bucks. Others have hi started them with good results. I plan on hi starting mine as well. not alot of slope near the house, ugh..

Thats a beautiful ship, Where did you get it? The only dealer I could find was Raidente.. and ther reputation scared me. I did a search on them and they have a lot of questionable publicit. Thanks John G.
