RE: Scorpio Condor Magic 2.9

Or BOT ARF from Dynaflite. It's around $130, (almost) 3m and easy to fly. Search for more info though cause it used to have a weak spar and tend to break the wing on winch.

RE: Art Hobby Bobolink 1M DLG

Try giving it a right rudder during launch and release it back about a second after it left your hand. I hold the Tx on my left hand so I had my thumb pushing the rudder stick while I spin. Also...

RE: Upgrading thermal gliders

One of the sailplane I was seriously looking into a while ago was the Searcher 100m RES. I've heard only good things from this ship. At $350, it is almost twice compare with the Spirit Elite but it...

Spirit 2m

I've found some info about replacement wing for SP on the internet. Never try but at least it should give you better airfoil than the standard 3010. Give it a shot.

Agree. Mine glitch so badly after some crash. It seems to be the case that act as a bearing turn loose a bit and make 2 gears a bit apart of eachother. So the motor try to turn, but the arm (and...

Help with first sailplane decision

I'd suggest the ARF. I've just built one and it's not that difficult at all. Besides, the RTF comes with AM radio (Hitec focus 3...if I'm not wrong) and it might not be useful in the...

I tried the PCSOAR program. It's pretty good. Just use the SCORPION as a base model and modify the airfoil, wing span, wing chord & weight to get closer to the spirit. The result are 14mph for min...

Best CG for Thermal Duration?

That's a problem cause I don't know the max L/D speed of the spirit.

Anyway, I've heard that the spirit might not have that wide speed envelop. So the min sink speed & max L/D speed should be...

Help getting Modified Spirit Electric to fly

I'd agree with JimTrainor that you should try to trim it with motor off first to check the CG. It's definitely on the heavy side, but with enough launch speed the spirit should be able to glide...

No, it's not new.

I tough myself flying with her. She was good little plane. Just a little too weak with standard motor (S-280). You really need to let her climb with the wing.
