Last saturday we had an hand launch event at our local club near Montreal and Etienne brought one of his fully molded "super scale" thermal machine. I took some pictures...
Look at those wings ! 5m span... state of the art, forward swept etc... wow...

Of course, this is no "hand launchable" model !!! lol:eek:

You can hand launch these bueties on the slope :D

For sure you Englishmen are blessed with hundreds of incredible inland slope sites that we very seldom see here in spruce tree covered North America…:(
But we have both Atlantic and Pacific see cost... My buddies and me go to Cape Cod for several days every spring. Yepeee !:p

How does that glider fly there is no pilot in the office? :confused:

What is the model looks nice?

Yep, lots of slopes in UK and within 8 mile of me most directions are covered.

A :D

:p :p ...pilot !

It's an 1:5 scale Lunak aerobatic sailplane of the early sixties. Very lively sloper yet can slow down to a very scale like flying speed. The full scale Lunak was an aerobatic contest winner and the model does give me a lot of fun !
Available from ICARE. www.icare-re.com Also available a 1:4 scale Lunak;)
