Strengths: easy to fly, with no quirks. Glides forever. Can be quite fast. Catches thermals well

Weaknesses: Needs flap servos. Foam hinges need checking for cracks after a while

Overall: Great performance for the price. As mentioned really need flaps for best landings. I've found a 3s 1800 gives best performance to weight. Did I mention great value?

Strengths: Quick and easy build. Room for battery upto 2200ish size, pre formed flaps. Substantial accessories pack including glider only nosecone. Servos pre fitted for Elevator, Rudder and Ailerons.

Weaknesses: Decals, as always a pain to put on. Not pre fitted with servos on flaps.

Overall: For the cost, this glider is a great model. Goes together perfectly. Do use the flaps as landings can be long and fast otherwise! Absolute value for money!
