For a small, cheap thermalling sloper, my favorite always has been and always will be the Dynaflite Skeeter! Sadly, out of production now, but there is ALWAYS one hiding somewhere on a shelf in a hobby shop or a personal stash of a friend. If all else fails, try eBay or the for sale forum here. I've seen a few pop up from time to time. I'm working on one right now (with a few mods). Here's a webpage where you can find out a bit about them..

A Gentle Lady is also a winner on the slope and in a thermal.

The Fling 2m RE[S] is quite a good thermal soarer, in fact one just won a 2m thermal contest in windy weather at my club. Construction quality and strength are good for the amount of money you pay.

Another one you might look at is the Streamline [AKA Passer Thermo] which adds ailerons into the mix also very cheap and very good quality for the money.

COMMERCIAL: We sell them and you can check the Streamline out on our website at <www.rc-sailplane.com.au>
