Default RE: Looking for a good first sailplane

Thanks for your help guys! I'll check out the sailplanes everyone recommended and go from there.

I've seen some videos of guys flying sailplanes and some of them had a real hard time landing them, I saw that they had both the ailerons pointing up but I don't remember seeing flaps down on them. Either way, I'm assuming they used a computerized rc transmitter for that. The Hitec 3 channel I have currently definately won't handle that, anyone know of a good controller out there for relatively cheap that I can use for my entire fleet? I'm planning on getting a variety of planes and maybe a helicopter and I'd like to get one controller that I can use for all of them. Again, thanks for your help!!!
