Default RE: Looking for a good first sailplane


ORIGINAL: SnitGTS

Hello all! I'm new to rc flying and I'm currently having a blast learning on my Graupner Tipsy! I would like to expand my inventory of aircraft soon and I'd like to get a sailplane. I'd like something with a decent wingspan but that has the ability to be taken apart for easy storage. Either 3 or 4 channel is fine.

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

PS: I've heard the term crow breaking before, what is that exactly? Something to do with spoilers?
