Very nice! I was lucky enough to get some stick time in one of these on Oahu, HI. It's a very well balanced sailplane. It's a nice looking plane, as well. I hope they sell a bunch of them. I'm a bit concerned about how much of a market there is for a micro sized scale sailplane. We'll find out!

I was more hoping for some kind of winch or bungee... :-( |

I've been wanting to build a small sailplane for a long time. This is way better than what I was thinking and gyro stabilization means it can be flown in a much wider range of conditions. Pete |

As far as the market, I think that if you buy the Cub for floats, or skis, or fpv (should be awesome for that), you almost have to buy the glider as well. And sure enough, it's priced decently, so it's also a good entry point for someone who just want the electronic to move it into other UMs... Wondering if there's a brushed esc on board. If that's the case, then, it could pobably go staight into any old UMs for a AS3X conversion, particularly if it's programmable. |

Hi-start is part elastic with a long cord attached. It's not a bungee launch.
The cord is four or five times the length of the rubber, which is not as strong as you would use for a bungee launch. The effect is that the rubber acts like someone running with a kite string and the glider goes up like a kite. Very nice simple way to get a reasonable height without much effort. Pete |
