Well I went for the EGPro, easy to put together, using 2S 2000 lipos. Set it up with both ailerons going up on flap switch (on advise from my mate the Air Commodore) to help with landing, it stills floats on and on in ground effect!!! A bit of a difference to flying my other planes, yes do need L plates, it climbs very fast needing a touch of down elevator to stop it going vertical, just using rudder & elevator to keep it up there. Moved the Cof G back and now flys better. Need more practice to land it on the strip and not at the end. Great fun, think I might like this gliding lark.

Thanks for the replies Guys, Think I will go with the EG Pro if I can find one at a good price. Bob J

Hi Guys, Having learnt on an Easy cub and then moved onto a Riot (it is a riot to) I am now thinking of getting an electric powered glider with ailerons, but which one. The foam quality of the Multiplex Easy Cub is better than the riot, is this the case with the Radian Pro? The Radian Pro is a good price when compared to the Easy Glider Pro RR. However, not seen either in action. Any advise on which to get? Bob J

Hi Clare, Joining a club with an instructor is sound advise, the cost of joining a club and the BMFA is cheaper than having to repair or buy a new plane. If you can visit a club when they are flying and ask, watch who is flying. I started last year with a Multiplex easy cub, have a look on U tube it does fly well, I looked at a local club but they had a waiting list. A friend who I race R/C cars with is an instructor a a club further away from where I live, however the time spent with an instructor is invaluable and I am now flying on my own, the easy cub is still in one piece and I have now just got a Century Riot to move up to when I have passed the "A" licence. I like electric as they are clean and easy to setup. Hope you get on well, it's great fun learning to fly. Bob.
