Re: First Scale Project Yiipi!!!!!!!!!
I've been looking at these but I want something a little bigger. I'd like something in the 4-5m range.
Had a fly of a mates 6m DG1000. What a nice model to fly, was able to make good use of light lift.

Re: First Scale Project Yiipi!!!!!!!!!
So the quaility ain't that good. I think I'm going to have a go at scratch building a older style scale glider. Hope to have something ready for the summer months over here.
