This is a great park flyer! Funny thing is that even on it's first flight I found myself turning off the motor and trying to thermal it - and frankly I succeeded! Guess that means that I really am a thermal sailplane nut! But hey! That's a good thing!!! BTW - That's my brother Danny who first got me into model airplanes way back when...
This plane is a high performance 60-inch electric sailplane. I actually placed 2nd in the first contest I entered it in in October 2001. This photo is at the San Diego Electric Flyers club field near Sea World.
I love the way this plane penetrates through the wind but still floats through light air. It was also my first aileron plane!
This glider is called Sky Sergio. It is extremely lightweight and floats like you wouldn't believe!
