Re: [RCSE] Benchmark Sailplanes
Well, for size, there's the Sailaire. For everybody has had one at one time or another, there's the Oly or Gentle Lady. For dominating the TD scene for the longest time, there's the Icon. For quality, there's the PP Super Lite. For obtainability, there's the Supra. For the plane that people love, there's the Ava. But the number one benchmark, the topper of them all, is: For gorgeous looks -- the Mantis.
RE: [RCSE] Benchmark Sailplanes
Not sure I like the sound of "benchmark". Aren't those made out of bronze and cemented into granite? I feel old, because I haven't seen these names: Windsong Magic (Never flew either but saw SO MANY of them, and I did own an Anthem later.) turns like a: Metrick ;-) handles thermal turns like a: Spirit (ugh!) as easy to fly as an: Oly 2 (not joking this time) Paragon (by reputation, have not flown) at least someone mentioned the Sagitta by reputation (again, have not flown), the Mirage newer: Bubble Dancer (pick your suprelative, and look at all the imitations) Supergee coulda been: Apogee (if we hadn't switched to DLG, I bet most HLG would be like this, at least for skinny people with fast arms) Do you really call it a Supra if it has a serial number? I've mostly seen scratch built ones (or is it only the original one) and it's of course very impressive. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

"Benchmark"? Define "benchmark"! I don't like this word. How bout "paradigm", probably equally as ambiguous instead? RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
