Re: EDF Glider????
Glider, huh Check the size of the battery and AUW, this probably glides more like a Sky Surfer/Bixler/EasyStar than the Raidians or lightweight craft of John O.

Re: EDF Glider????
At an all up weight of 40 ozs for a 1.5m span it is certainly not a lightweight. (My 1.8 m Pulsar model is 21 oz and the 2.3m Blue Hyper is 27 ozs).
It would fit more into the warmliner/hotliner class. It has a 500 watt motor as compared to 250watt for the pulsar and 375watt for the Hyper so you should not be lacking for power.
The Pulsar is 190 watts/lb and the Hyper 230 watts/lb. Yours is 200 watts/lb. Climb should be excellent, but glide may suffer.
The wing section is thin and being foam, I would suspect it might flex quite a bit, unless well reinforced with carbon. However, it does appear to be well turned out and the videos show it aerobatic capable.
