I now have two electric planes. My first was an Aerobird which is a rudder/elevator/throttle plane, and then an Electrajet which is a delta wing type with elevator/aileron/throttle controls. I now want to go to a glider as my club has lots of glider pilots and has a competition once a month.

I am not going with a motor. The club has two winches and when they are not available, I want to learn how to use a hi-start. If I want to fly electric, I have two electrics now.

Here are the features I think I want.

1) Polyhedral wings - more stable

2) Minimum plane would have Rudder/Elevator/Spoilers, R/E/S.

3) I think I would prefer R/E/Ailerons/Flaps - spoiler would be great addition here but not required.

3) ARF or RTF without a transmitter. I have a Hitec Prism 7X seven channel computer radio. Here are its features:

4) 2 Meter - Size required for the club events. Don't want to go much bigger than this.

If the plane were to have an interchangeable motor pod that could be removed to put on a pure glider nose, that would be a nice extra. I think I have seen motor pods that can be put on any glider using rubber bands. It was a motor on a pylon I think. Not sure how good it is, but I have seen it.

Here are the planes I am considering so far:

Great Planes Spirit ARF or RTF - R/E/S

Or

Multiplex Alpha Junior ARF - R/E/A/F plus optional Motor Nose and throttle

I am not looking for a serious competition plane, more of a sport 2 meter that I can learn on and enjoy for a several years while learn to thermal at our field. If I want to get serious about competition, I will get another glider in the future.

Do you have any experience, good or bad, which these planes?

What other planes would you suggest I consider?
