Where i don't live close to an area to slope i just wanted something smaller that my son could use in my back yard - i have a small runway for some of my electrics - if theres no interest thats fine - i will put it out in the shed and buy him something smaller - just thought with some of the guys that do the sloping there might have been some interest. Didn't really know what i had here.

what you see in the pic is where it has been sanded ready for primer


that's what I meant Greg, bit of filler and some paint and she's good to go. If it is the break that I saw happen, it wasn't a hard fix. Everything fit together pretty well and glued up ok.

Really thinking that something smaller would be better for my son so we could fly it out home. Weighed the glider. Comes in at 3 pounds with the servos in.

I would sell for 75.00 with the servos if someone is interested. I am thinking of a radian or micro radian for my son so this would be going towards it.

Don't give up on it. That is not a slope soarer. It is a thermal soarer suited to Hi Start launches on flat ground.
A model of that size at 3 lbs is still a very light wingloading and should quite a good beginners sailplane.
We have a Slope Fly-in on the 30th Aug at Lawrencetown. Bring it along and I'M sure we can give you some help with it.
