Re: All the "Closet" Sailplane Pilots please come forward!!!
 One of the guys I flew with up north has one of those. They are a very nice looking and flying model and thermal very well. I'm sure you will love it.

Can't remember if this one has been posted before, but it is one of my favourite videos. Awesome scenery.

Re: All the "Closet" Sailplane Pilots please come forward!!!
Well the first thermals of my gliding season were caught today. Had perfect weather, scattered clouds light winds and about 28 degrees C. Had 2 nice flights both around the 30min mark. I had almost forgotten how good the champion is to fly!

Re: All the "Closet" Sailplane Pilots please come forward!!!
And some days it is really tough. Like today. Frost on the ground at the start of a contest. Wind got up to the point where we were reading 18-28 MPH. The contest was called when the speakers blew off the table. Tough day to fly an 11oz plane.

Re: All the "Closet" Sailplane Pilots please come forward!!!
I have a Radian and its a fun plane.. I was thinking of getting the Radian Pro, I noticed that is a lot stronger now in the tail and the wings wear it meets the fuse.. Any suggestions on stepping up to another electric glider and what would be a good choice/
