You're not gonna be zooming through the skies and doing insane maneuvers, it's a glider.
And that has absolutely nothing to do with what type of receiver is or is not appropriate.
We're talking about a 2-meter glider here. That can easily be flown further away than your common 40-size model, simply because it's larger and thermalling lends itself to distances. It's irresponsible to put a park flyer receiver in such a model, and irresponsible to recommend that someone do that.
Absolutely. In addition, if the glider were to fly away and cause damage to property or another person (yes, a glider is quite capable of this) there is a good chance that your insurance (AMA or your home owners) will not cover you because you are using equipment that wasn't designed for what you are using it for.
