The DAW 1-26 in both the 60" and 2m sizes have been very popular and they are economical. Just be careful. Like most other scale niches in the hobby, it is a slippery slope and the bug can bite hard and the scale ships can get into your pocket real quick, but so can some of the other high tech gliders. Keep realistic goals.

What kind of radio gear do you have? If you don't already have a computer radio, you are going to want to get one with glider specific programming. You don't have to have one for the basics, but when you start moving up there are things you want/need to do that you really need the radio capability.

Just so you'll know, I am using a Futaba 7UAPS for my power planes or my 3 channel gliders and an Airtronics Vision VS8SP sailplane specific radio for my 4 channel and up gliders. I have a "new to me" Stylus that I have not used yet. It will be a learning curve for me. I have some opinions about radios, if want to know what they are, send me a PM.
