Default Where to purchase large scale/semi-scale sailplanes ? ?

I am looking to purchase a scale or semi-scale large (wingspans between 100 - 140 inches) sailplane. Looking for recommendations on where to purchase one. I tried Northeast Sailplane Products ..... great web site with many scale sailplanes....... but when I called they had NONE in stock. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Bob

Default Large scale sailplanes

Multiplex
They have a 140" DG600, and a 160" ASH26.

Icare
They have several large scale models, up to 208"

And if you like to build : Look at my HP, MT Models , the Ka6e and Ka7 will be available approx. in a month, the Flair Ka8 is available right now.

There is a guy out of New York that was importing large european gliders and I think that he is still providing info for people to obtain them. I am sorry that I can not remember the web site or his name (I seem to remember that his first or last name was Robin), but i'll bet that someone can give you the way to contact him.
Take care Jim

Default Where to get them

Getting Sailplanes (post # 1)

Hey guys

I generally import my sailplanes myself if u want to go one with all the work of contacting the people transfering the money and dealling with US costumes.

If not Robin for sure can help u to get connections.

Or you can go to this site I'm sure you will find something some of the maufacturers have reps in the US,

@Landi :

Werds auf jeden Fall naechstes Jahr versuchen.
Zu "meinen" Fliegern : Aber es gibt hierzulande doch sicherlich genug Leute die sich fuer so etwas interessieren, oder ?
Ich meine speziell in den Gegenden in welchen es so etwas wie Winter gibt, Ihr habt da unten ja das ganze Jahr Flugwetter , wir in den noerdlichen Breiten muessen uns dann im Bastelkeller verkriechen.

Gruss, Michael

Sorry guys, about answering in german, but it is not often that I find a fellow german around here.

If you want the greatest choice anywhere from plans to kits visit

http://web.ukonline.co.uk/sssrcsoaring/

and look under the sailplane database.

There you will also find links to most manufaturers
