I have read quite a bit on these models.. Seen em on ebay. The price is right for sure. But remember, you get what you pay for! Low price=low quality. Not very scale in appearance either. I would rather pay the extra $ and get an HF brand from either www.icare-rc.com or www.soaringusa.com

Thanks for your reply...I am an old codger, been out of sailplanes and RC for 30+ years. Just got burned out. I am an LSF level IV.
Had completed my 10k and 2 hour thermal. All I needed was two contest wins and 8 hour slope. Just walked away.
I see the aircraft have advanced much since my days. Also a bit expensive.

I do miss the Contests and fellowship.
