RE: Good gliders
<p style="text-align: left">The style of flying is combat, relaxing fliers, and things like that. The budjet is $40 to $100. The size I want is 40'' to 2 meter.</p>

RE: Good gliders
It's a tough question to answer right now for a simple reason.
You aren't going to find but one or two for sale, no matter how many we list. But stuff like that has never stopped some of us before. Gentle Lady for an excellent beginner glider. You'll need a HiStart and more than the average RC field to fly it. Using a HiStart at your average RC field won't work very well. There used to be a DrifterII and a Sig Riser that were similar. They are excellent beginner gliders. If you're wanting to thermal and want to catch at least a few in your lifetime, keep in mind that the greater the wingspan the more probability you'll have finding lift and thermals. 2m is about where you'll have better luck. The Bird of Time was available from Tower last year. It's 118" wing makes it a better bet finding thermals. Another HiStart required glider. |

Want something you can fly at the average RC field without getting in the way?
Electric motor in the nose. Tower and Hangar9 have foamy things that're ready to go. |
RE: Good gliders
Well I have a Hi-Start and my Dad has a Drifter II. How much is the Gentle Lady? A guy at my flying field had 2 gliders for sale, one a Drifter II and one a Gentle Lady. My Dad bought the Drifter for about $40 and the Gentle Lady was about the same.

RE: Good gliders
Learned on a SIG Riser. Easy to build, inexpensive, and easy to fly. Very straightforward.
