This great looking Fournier is just the ticket for a relaxing days flying and being Plug and Fly, this scale sport glider can be up in the air in double quick time!

The airframe is nicely constructed from balsa and then expertly covered, this Fournier takes the traditional balsa ARF to the next level, not only are the servo's, ESC and powerful brushless motor included, they are all pre-installed! The advantage of the Plug and Fly format is not just the double quick build time, it also means that you don't have to scratch your head making power train choices, the perfect combo is pre-installed! This model is very practical and not only features a removable wing for easy transport, it also has a huge magnetic canopy for easy battery access, also included is optional four wheel undercarriage, however the Fournier can be just as easily hand-launched and belly landed for those flying from longer grass.

The large wingspan of this scale looking motor glider means it can be flown gently on a whiff of throttle but open it up and there is plenty of power for impressive climb out's and even the odd loop! The Fournier is a fast build, practical scale glider with the kind of flight performance and durability that only balsa planes can offer and all at a great price!

I got this bird last year and found it to be difficult to fly. This actually needs a very fast approach in landing. You cannot treat this bird as a trainer airplane. The wing does have the length for fast and stable flying but not for gliding. It's sounds like a glider but its not. Please keep the aileron D/R to less then 65%. It is so sensitive, it tends to roll while on a right or left banking, The elevator also should have D/R at less then 75%. Ha many crashes and still flying. Thanks to Balsa. I have taken out the original landing gear and made it a tail drager. Takes off really well. the flying weight should be 700g. Now it's 1kg with all mods. mine runs with the same stock motor 1200kv(my second motor) with 40a esc turnigy plush / 2200mah lipo / HXT900 servos. Although, they suggest as RTR. Its not. lots of mods needed to fly this bird. First thing I did was to make the wing joiner more stronger by adding an additional plywood and reinforcing it with fiber tape. second was to apply a thin coating of wood vanish to all balsa wood areas which I could reach for extra reinforcement. Check all servos. I replaced mine with HXT900. The stock ones are no good. You are asking for disaster. Check your motor mount and make sure it is 2 to 3 degrees to right thrust.add a washer if need be. etc. These are some of the things you should look for and set it accordingly. one MOST important thing. Make sure you have some one right next to you to help you with the trims. This plane is not stable till you get the trims right. Happy flying.

Has anyone ever hand launched this bird? Since the propeller runs very close to the ground, taking off from my grass field has been tough, and I wonder if it is ok to hand launch it. I saw that HK says you can do it in the description, but there is nothing like a real life experience. In case you have already done it, please let me know how it went.

Oi Mauricio comprei esse aero só** realizei dois voos. O primeiro foi lanç**ado com a mã**o, subiu muito rá**pido com meio motor. depois entrou em parafuso e foi difí**cil recuperar. Segundo voo decolou do chã**o, depois de um minuto de voo, entrou em parafuso e caiu, quebrou a parede de fogo. Ele entra em parafuso de nã**o sai mais, os comandos nã**o obedecem. Troquei os servos e nada. tenho dú**vidas sobre o local do centro de gravidade.att

WHY THE DIFFERENT PRICE FROM THE UK WAREHOUSE....
 H-KING_SCOTT 5237 points
Because it costs money to ship it to the UK....but then you save on shipping from Hong Kong.

You may have to also pay customs duty which maybe only a couple of pounds but the most irritating thing is that ParcelFarce charge you £*8 for customs clearance. I always buy kits from uk now because of this. I am now waiting for the uk to stock the new Stearman

I should have typed £*8!!!
