Ed Anderson Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I went to an estate sale today. At the sale was this Shredair glider. Looked pretty nice so I bought it. 127" wing span. V tail, Molded construction. 3 piece wing. Looking at some photos on the web I think it might be called the Stork, but I am not sure. Looks almost new. Came with ballast set and a wing/plane bag. Removable V Ttil. Appears to have Voltz servos. Wing is fairly flat. Adjustable winch hook. Nose cone design but the equipment is accessed from the bottom rather than the top. There is a bunch of lead shot in the nose. Looks like it was built and balanced so I presume it is needed. Take a look at the photos and help me identify it. Shredair seems to be out of business so I can't look at their web site and I can't find anyone selling their planes. Is this an F3J, F3B, Slope glider? What is it? Will it take a full pedal winch launch? Anyone have any ideas on how it thermals? Sort of a lime yellow with red on the bottom of the wings and V-tail. Trying to figure out how to insert photos.

Pete B Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Slippery-looking beast, Ed - I'm sure there's a few slopers here who would look twice at that! I see you've now had a reply from the Shredair guy over on RCG - when your thermalling weather returns let us know how she flies.....

Ed Anderson Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yes, Dieter says it is the Stork 2 Pro. It is still available from Soaring USA but this one has a Shredair label on it so it has probably been sitting around for years. But now that I have it together it looks like it has never been flown. Soaring USA also has an electric fuse for it. If I like the glider I may get the e-fuse too. I have my supra pro set up for winch or electric launch. Maybe I will do the same with this one. Now to check out the servos and such to see if anything needs to be replaced. And 6-10" of snow on the way so not flying this weekend. Glad I got a snow blower for Christmas rather than another glider. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
