I'm looking for a new sailplane/park flyer and have been eyeballing these two along with the Esprit Models Demon. Has anyone flown them all or at least the Nano Floh and Mini Floh? I'll be going with a brushless/Li-Poly setup with the one I eventually get. The main purpose is to have something on the compact side, durable/quality/easy construction and fairly easy to fly. I'd also like it to have the ability to perform some basic aerobatics to help advance my flying skills as I want to move on to a hotliner type plane later.

Edit:

I've got to throw the Wendy in the mix as well:

Thanks for any input.

I have a Nano Flo and a Denon from Esprit. The Nano Flo was the glider version and was pretty bad quality(the glue joints in the center of the wing were butt joint glued and failed before the first flight) except for the fuselage. I built a different glider around the fuselage. I have a Denon with the recomended Mega 16/16/4. It was given to me because I have a lot of fast planes and the person that bought it considered it too fast for him. I love the plane, its not excessivly fast and I would actually prefer a 16/15/3 eith a 4.7X4.7 to bump up the speed... It is an extremly good flying glider and would be my recommendation...

Thanks for the reply!

I appreciate your experienced input. Was your Nano Floh an older model? I wonder if the quality control has come up on these (Mini and Nano) lately? The reviews I have read seem positive. The specs on the Mini Floh E look good in terms of overall weight relative to the extra wing size I'd be getting. I was thinking that would help me with keeping my flight times longer and have it lean more towards the sail/glider type rather than the warmliner/hotliner type I'd be getting with the other smaller planes.

Did you mean the Denon or Demon? They offer both and they look very different. I'm interested in the Demon. The videos on the Demon look good. Are the Mega motors a good, solid choice or should I look at other brands as well? I'm looking for the most bang for the buck but I don't mind paying a few extra bucks for a quality, reliable, fast set-up.

Ok, one vote for the Demon(?).

Thanks again!

I got the nano a couple years ago, I'll post a pic of what I did with it so I can travel with it. Many people have them and like them, mine might have been a fluke.

I did mean the Denon, it is much different from the Demon, I really like it. With the /4 motor it flies really well, not too quick and just, well flies well.... The Demon should be the same quality, good, and maybe a bit zippier since it is smaller for the same weight and components, it has a higher wing loading. The price is right, good value.

I do like the Mega motors, I have the 16/15/2 and 16/15/4. You can push them quite a bit more than their listed max. I'll post a pic of what the /2 is in, it's a 150+mph airplane.
