Lunch-time flyer Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm new to this forum - anyone here interested in fast gliders and willing to give some advice as to which one to choose? Looking for a 2m(ish) electric that's not going to disintegrate in the air or on a rough landing...Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin borthwick Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Simon,i'm in to fast gliders,and Icant see past the filip 600 sport.I've had this one for a couple of years now,and thats an old aircraft for me.I have fitted an axi 2826/8 motor with a 3cell 3700mah lipo and a 70a speed controller, and it goes like the proverbial whatsit.The airframe is on its second fusilage[its the way I fly],but generally its a robust aircraft,of 2.00m span,fly's like a dream,and it's available from John Emms at Puffin Models. John also supplys axi motors etc,and the man gives excellent advice on all things electrical. regards....colin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sharp Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Make sure your aileron servos are up to the job, this means powerful. If they are not, at high speed, aileron flutter can totally destroy your model in a dive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Ditto the Filip...it's a super model, The Sprinter (from Puffin) is another or the new 2.6m X-treme (Puffin) which is a bigger Filip with rudder and flap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
