Fred:
Out of production ?? weird !

Just thinking... I have a "sophisticated Lady", still in box, with an extra fuselage...

If you can't find a Spirit and if you are interrested in that one...

I will certainly never build it, or maybe in 10 years for my daughter...  :P

haydenc:
Thanks for the offer Fred  but I think I have a fall back one.
Fling 2M.
Seems basic. Elevator and Rudder.
Yet it looks very sleek
Do you know anything BAD about them ?

Peter:
Really bad luck/timing with the Spirit 2M - a shame it is going out of production.  I still have the plan here if you are interested in building one from scratch - I can send it to you if you like.  Otherwise you could check out www.arthobby.com - they have some nice gliders including several 2 metre models.  I bought a Falco V from that last year (1.5 m) and thought it was a very well produced - beautiful veneered wings.  With the euro-dollar exchange rate the way it is going they are becoming good value. Fling 2M is porbably a pretty good choice also.  David can probably advise you on this as he has one.

rogallo:
Stan Yeo is the man, epp trainers etc, very well designed kits that fly well. Stan has been building and flying gliders for many years. His Stiletto is a lovely advanced slope model but is a crunchie (made of timber) a bit like the Phase 6. Anyhoo see his link below

Synergy DUET Sport Ref: AT008
Synergy DUET Sport is of similar design to the Synergy DUET R/E except that it is fitted with strip balsa ailerons and is considerably more aerobatic.

Price: £59.95

Regards and look forward to seeing everyone on the 20th

haydenc:
Thanks for the replies, and the offer of the plans, Peter. For the moment I will continue searching for an ARTF model.
My second option failed also. Can't find a 2M fling anywhere.
Saw a good report in March Radio Control Model Flyer on a Ripmax Stargazer 2.
It looks very garish with its all red underside and splashes of White and Yellow on top.
Suppose this would help with orientation.
It has ailerons and the mag says good things about it. But then they usually do.
I will mull over it for the evening.
Thanks again all
Charlie
