SF-24 MotorSpatz motorglider slopin'


Recommended Posts

I purchased a VQ Models MotorSpatz (Motor Sparrow) scale glider from Staufenbiels a couple of years ago and have been having a lot of fun with it. The model is great for park and club flying and will do some passable thermaling in the right conditions. It's built pretty tough and also makes a great sloper.

Funny thing I have noticed before - the local gull population often go mental over the Sparrow and attack it every time I fly it. I flew four other models the day of the vid and the gulls ignored all of them except the Sparrow. It must be the size and shape that they mistake for an intruding hawk or something. It's quite hard case, but the Sparrow has built up wings and a good smack from a gull could bring it down.

Here's the vid: **LINK**
