Fred:
No problem :)

Yeah, Helis radios etc, good for Gliders.

What is your radio make/ name?
Should be fine anyway, so I would not worry too much about that  :D

A few links about the gliders I am talking about if you haven't seen them yet:

Flying wing. Something like this:

After that, lots of choices, depending of your budget of course.
You also have the option to go for an electric glider (like the EasyGlider pro) to fly flat field etc etc..

Hi Oirishman, you're very welcome on here. I'm a novice pilot joining up about 18 months ago, I'm flying the easyglider, Fred mentioned, and a skua combat wing, my mate Big Keith started with a Zagi wing, bought from Sussex Model Center in the UK.

The 2.4ghz gear you have will suit all the models I've mentioned, the easy glider is four channel and the combat wings are just two channel with a mix arrangement on the control surfaces.

The easy glider is dream to fly, it's about €80 for the kit, €100 delivered but with a couple of hours it's built and ready to go. It's easy to fly and repair which is great. Little Keith (Happy Days) thought me and to be honest he's brilliant, mainly as he's shed loads of patience :-) I've honed my skills on a phenoix RC simulator, but nothing beats the real thing.

Come along to the April glide in and take a look, you might even get a cuppa on the mountain while you have a go.

Oirishman:
thanks for all the info.  do those gliders come apart for transport   i have a small car.

Fred:
Sorry for the late reply.

Yep, most of them have removable wings. Some, you can also remove the stabilisator, rudder etc, so they are quiet compact disassembled.

I use to fit a 5m and 2x 4m gliders in my Clio  :D  (but have to drive alone.. Not a big problem anyway, with this way of life, you are pretty much alone anyway  :lol:   :lol: )
