Valenta Destiny, 137 cm small and real fast but It require a real good pilot, and absolutly not for beginners
Great in good conditions, but it can (and it will) tip stall and do some realy nasty highspeed stall. THE DESTINY FLIP.....

So unless you are good to repair fiberglass, then choose another glider..
:D
I think I have broke the boom 5 times and the wing 3 time + many small repair..
:p
But still i bought a second spare one...

Cool highspeed glider sound :cool:;)
Dsing the dunes at the westcoast in North Denmark.

That was HILARIOUS!

You're just having far too much fun..... :D You have got to be the master of making the most out of the least when it comes to finding and using any possible slope and wind strength. Neatly done!

I tried to park one of my Aerobirds, a small glider like electric airplane, in the back of my station wagon. As I approached the hatch I realized that the wing was wider than the opening but it was too late. The wing was 2" wider than the hatch. It was not pretty. :(

I live in Florida too. There are some slopes. Google slope soaring in Fla and you can see a video of some modelers who successfully slope soar. I am in Sebastian Fl and just 4 miles south of my location I found a small slope.........Ken
