    Fun to hear the excitement in your voice with the first time flying a sport glider! I love 'em! Yesterday my hands were shaking after a maiden with an F9F Panther, so I sent the glider up next and sat down in a nice comfy chair to let that glider suck all the adrenalin out of my blood stream so I could relax!

    Jeff the Swift looks like a great glider. I have a few gliders that I hunt thermals with but it looks well designed. Jeff in LA USA

    Looks like a well designed power glider, I have a few myself and enjoy the long flight times from soaring. Very fun maiden remember its a glider.Enjoyed this video. I would invest into a set of easy lites to put on this plane so you could fly it at 400ft and keep orientation. Nice figure 8 on a maiden no less. Practice makes perfect.

      Thankyou tug, you must get this aircraft as she is such a good flying experience, I do have a set of easy lites which I will put on (just have to attach the velcro to the aircraft), but she flew perfectly and with this plane no flap to elevator mix is needed...jeff...uk.

      If I buy one I will get the EDF to go with it. My FMS ASW-17 is much better of a glider and the pure dynamics are better. The EDF however will be a first for me.@@Isleofwightr.c-ec2ef

    Try adding the 4s edf run it on a small 5s 1500 with 50amp esc and keep the original esc for prop and you have a 9s swift weapon capability of 75mph plus and no end on going vertical
