[RCSE] Beginner sailplane recommendations
I know this has been discussed before, but wanted to get your current thinking. A co-worker hears me talking about soaring all the time and is asking about a sailplane for his son. Years ago I would have suggested a Highlander, but they are no more and there don't seem to be any really credible (i.e., decent performing) foamies. If you want a nice molded TD plane, I can talk all day, but when it comes to this kind of plane, I'm at a loss. I'm thinking about recommending the Multiplex Easy Glider, which is inexpensive and readily available from Tower Hobbies: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?I=LXKHS7P=7 Any ideas appreciated. ..

RE: [RCSE] Beginner sailplane recommendations
Personally I'd recommend the Easy Star since it's electric, he'll get more flying time in per session. I'd recommend making the rudder 1/2-1 wider since the rudder is pretty small. I taught my brother-in-law to fly with one. gv -Original Message- From: Jim Laurel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 5:23 PM To: RCSE Yahoo Subject: [RCSE] Beginner sailplane recommendations I know this has been discussed before, but wanted to get your current thinking.

[RCSE] Re: Beginner sailplane recommendations
II would concur the Multiplex Easy Glider looks good for this particular job. Fixable and rugged EPP, looks like a "real" sailplane in flight. Also comes with electric motor option for launching instead of a histart or winch. Inexpensive, so little to lose if they don't wind up liking it. Will work fine with a cheap 3-channel hitec single-stick or something more advanced. What's not to like?

John: We do import and sell this tug. We took one to the last Los Banos Scale Fun Fly and it did perform flawlessly.

[RCSE] where to donate model magazines in LA?
I use to donate my old model magazines to the Northrop Airplane Museum in Hawthorne, CA.I read that their lease was not renewed and that they do not have enough funds toopen a new museum. So is there anywhere else in LA (preferably in the south bay area) I can donate my magazines?Any School? Thanks!
[RCSE] Begginer Sailplanes
The Easy Glider is definitely a good first sailplane. It is not EPP but Elapor foam which is more rigid making it better for this application, but still very rugged and very fixable. Wing loading is under 6 ounces so it will float like a Gentle Lady or a Spirit with less probability of a trip to the repair table if you make a mistake. And the ailerons give you more positive control in the air. The upturned wing tips do give you some self leveling but not like a poly wing plane. It will launch from any hi-start and, if you replace the hook with a longer hook, it will launch very well off the winch. It also does well on the slope for moderate lift and the foam handles those rough slope landing sites. You will need a 4 channel radio to fly it using all controls, but I have heard that you can fly it R/E as well. I have tried it, but only for a few moments. Only real downside is that it does not penetrate very well, but I have never tried to ballast one up to see what effect that would have. Again, very much like a GL or a Spirit in this regard.
