This little glider is great fun, especially for kids from 4 years up to 84 years old, just a hand launch from shoulder height will see it achieve a long flat glide. It is made of EPO foam which is virtually indestructible, the wing slides in and tailplanes are attached with double sided tape, can be ready to fly in minutes. Great eye catching color scheme with HobbyKing™ logo, decals are already applied, no glueing or painting is necessary.

(Who is going to be first to radio control one??)

• Very quick and easy to assemble
• No glueing or painting
• Excellent gliding characteristics
• Virtually indestructible
• Eye catching color scheme
• Built in nose weight

Awesome little hand glider, very dense EPO foam so it is durable and flies great. Mine went straight and long!
Decals were not attached and i haven't put them on yet.
The black cockpit is a separate piece glued-in that hides a 1/3" steel ball in the nose. The wing is one piece and slides in (tight) from the side.
After a couple dozen throws I decided to convert to a mini-sloper, so it is cut-up now waiting for a micro brick. I also forgot to mark the CG before I removed the steel ball and cockpit...so if anyone has one could they please post the original CG location?

Pieces lock into place well. I think it will be able to take quite a few crashes. There is nothing adjustable on it and out of the box it tends to pitch up if you give it anything more then a very gentle throw. I'd give it more crowns if I wouldn't have to fiddle with it to fly level.

very well made free flight model. have converted to rc, mine is a setup as a twin tractor style using the c10 2900kv motor on 4x3props. x2 turnigy plush esc's and x2 blue arrow 3g mg servos (aileron and elevator). Flies on a single 460mah 2s turnigy nano-tech. havent got an all up weight yet but it would be around the 100g range. 1:1 power at 60pcnt throttle, i have a feeling this will be a screamer! :) will upload pics of the build to the files tab. CG seems to be at 30mm aft of L.E at the root.
