RE: Spirit 2M sailplane

I have read many ways to get your CG up and running. Dive test, inverted flight, etc….

RE: Dynaflite Piece O' Cake

I really enjoy the slow and floaty flight characteristics of the Piece O’ Cake / Drifter II models. These two both use the same exact wing rudder and stab. The difference is in the fuselage...
