Need some stress relief this
Summer, but feeling the pocket book pinch?... well, you've found the right
place!
Our new molded foam R/C gliders are easier than ever to
assemble. Simple and inexpensive two channel soaring has never been more fun.
Get outdoors this Summer into the wind and sun to experience one of the purest
forms of R/C flight. Minimal complexity for maximum enjoyment!
R/C
Flight-Packs are available for both kits. If you need servos, batteries, and
possibly a receiver for your glider, make sure to purchase them bundled as
flight-packs for 10% in savings.
Our
Signature Wind-Powered R/C Aircraft Designs: NEW fully molded foam gliders
are easier to build than ever! Airframes manufactured in the USA.
Below you'll
find our trademark Weasel and Alula glider designs. These classic designs have
recently been overhauled and are now part of our new "evo-series" of molded
foam gliders. The evo-series feature molded modular airframes that can be
dissassembled for easy traveling and storage (easily fits in a backpack or
suitcase). Bottom line, they are pure fun to fly and now easier to build than
ever!
One of the most versatile little EPP slopers
available. Pure fun to fly! Compact, durable, and extremely maneuverable yet
stable. A nimble and buoyant flier that will entertain even the most
accomplished fliers, yet its inherent stability makes it suitable for beginners
too! The Weasel has been flown successfully in winds conditions ranging from 5
to 35 mph on the slope. New kit is as durable as the original but a much easier
to assemble.
The original forward-swept "fly anywhere"
R/C glider! This organic design is a light and buoyant flier. The unique and
refined bird-inspired wing design facilitates the sidearm launch method and
maintains maneuverability, even at very low airspeeds. We call this our "urban
glider", due to its ability to soar in the most unconventional of locations.

More
about our gliders and R/C soaring:
The
Weasel and
Alula are
small, remotely-controlled gliders made of durable foam. These designs are
soaring aircraft and thus utilize upward wind currents, or updrafts, to sustain
flight. Essentially, they are wind-powered aircraft. Flying R/C gliders can be
a fun, low-impact hobby that allows one to enjoy the outdoors.
The
gliders we produce are affordable, durable, easy to assemble, and easy to fly
after some basic instruction and practice. The nimble and responsive flight
character of these designs will entertain the most advanced pilots, yet
beginners will appreciate their durability and inherent stability. The Alula
and Weasel are versatile gliders, and that is what makes them so fun to
fly!
CAUTION - Our
R/C gliders are not toys. They are remotely guided aircraft that require a
certain level of experience to assemble and fly; however, we do feel that the
Weasel can be a good entry-level slope R/C glider with proper aid from an
experienced pilot.
"... let me just say that your company is aptly named. The
plane soars like one of those dreams that you only have a few times in your
life. The side arm launch feels as natural as love. The grace of the plane in
the sky, and its responsiveness to every control whim, is
ethereal." -Thad Beier, California
