The EasyGlider is one of the best flying foamie sailplanes around. I still have one of the original models because it is so good. Over the years Multiplex has made alternate versions such as the EasyGlider Pro and several versions of the EasyGlider and now a new version is available dubbed the EasyGlider 4. As the name would indicate this is the 4th iteration and it builds on the success of previous models. The EasyGlider 4 is said to have the same great flying habits as older models while modernizing the airframe with evolutionary improvements.
The removeable wings have a new spar system and attachment hub. There's a more efficient power system, removable stabilizers for transport and lots of space in the nose for a wide range of flight batteries. It's still made from durable Elapor foam and we're digging the new color scheme. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on one soon. The kit version with no electronics is $104.99 and the RR version with motor, ESC and servos is $199.99.

I have been enjoying the snot out of mine, it goes to the field with me every time I go to fly. Breaking this airplane down couldn't be simpler, Multiplex took their time and got the tail and wing assembly correct. The wings take 15 seconds to put on and just a minute to install the tail. It breaks down small enough to fit in a backpack for those slope seekers on 2 wheels.
For those worried about having enough power, the stock RR ROXXY power system works brilliant and has plenty of power to pull the airplane to altitude quickly, and a 3S 2200 pack will leave you grinning from ear to ear for hours on end. |

The EasyGlider 4 was announced in January from Multiplex, we have not officially announced the FunRay in the USA. The 2 airplanes are also completely different.

What is M-Space Rigid Hull?
Does it use the same airfoil as the earlier versions? Thanks! |

Glide performance is stellar and it'll float up and away on the lightest of thermals. Spoilerons may be necessary to get the airplane to settle in on the runway, mine seems to want to glide forever even with a decent headwind. Power up and climb to altitude on a flat field or set the airplane up without a power system and enjoy hours of quiet, clean slope flight. |

What is M-Space Rigid Hull? Is fuse still EPO, or something like blow molded?
Does it use the same airfoil as the earlier versions? What is different from earlier versions? Thanks! |
