Default RE: First Glider

Your best bet would be the EasyGlider from Multiplex. They sell for about $80US and come with a Speed 400 motor, gearbox and folding prop assembly. It's made of Elapor foam (similar to EPP) and is very forgiving of most hard landings. The glider has a 72 inch wingspan with rudder, ailerons and elevator for control. I personally believe this is the best way to get into the sport of electric gliders as the wooden (balsa and lite-ply) gliders will need a lot more repair when you do screw up. Thousands of people have successfully flown these and can attest to their durability in these hands of a new flyer. I use mine mainly for slope flying nowadays and have many flights where the only limiting factor is how long my Rx batts will last. Can't go wrong with an EasyGlider! Jim
