This biplane model faithfully reproduces the famous Gloster gladiator, it is really very well made, it has excellent flying qualities and is also easy to fly, I have many biplanes and this is among my favorites, I recommend it, it can't be missing!

One of the best flying biplanes ever.

Apr 04, 2025

One of the best flying biplanes I've ever flown easy to do knife edges with very little coupling. Flies slow, flies fast, inverted is great. A couple of improvements would be a real battery holder instead of a block of foam and the decals are a real pain three layers which should be fine but they don't stick well unless you use an monocoat type iron then clear latex varnish. It is a great value and the flyer. Would buy again.

Durafly products

Feb 21, 2025

As always Durafly produces amazing products, but something always happens. It's small but happens. For example the Tundra, just a lovely aircraft so when motor burned out on bind I just replaced motor great plane. Slowpoke, takes a little getting used to so when binding, bound but no power. Upon inspection esc was bad had extra so no big deal. Gladiator "OUTSTANDING" looks and performs just as it should. All in all I will be buying more products from Hobby King. Thumbs up to Hobby King. Keep up the good work Stewart.

Beautifully Crafted Historic Biplane

Feb 19, 2025

As a follow up
I open up the rigging holes with a 1mm drill bit and use silver colored Stretch Magic® Bead & Jewelry Cord, 0.8 or 1mm. Just pre stretch it, tie off the ends with four half hitches, hit the knots with thin CA, and cut the excess off with nail clippers.

Great Flying, Amazing Detail, Easy Assembly

Feb 16, 2025

Sadly I crashed my first one, but this was on sale for only $200. Such an amazingly well behaved airplane. Assembly was super easy and fast. I really appreciate all the scale details. Flys well on grass with these big wheels. No bad tendencies, which led me to a false sense of security and I did some inverted maneuvers a little too close to the ground. :)
Plane flies like a trainer, not a scale foamy. Flies very light and slow, so if you're looking for speed this is not it.
I used elastic thread in place of the wire for the bracing - it stays taught without a lot of work.
The only negative is that there is no pilot figure. Thank goodness for 3d printing!
