    That looks like a very nice glider. Not really a glider man myself but if I were to get one then this fits in with my scale interests. Seems all my models these days have to be a scale representation of a full size. Looks like it flies very nicely. And what a beautiful flying location 👍

      About the same as other 3 metre gliders but a little higher as its latest design and just come out. Can only hope price decreases after its initial launch period.

    • @EssentialRC

    In UK do you need a license to fly a glider ??

    • @EssentialRC
      @EssentialRC  2 роки тому +2

      If it weighs over 250g you need to be registered with the CAA and have the provided Operator ID marked on your RC aeroplane. I always recommend joining a model flying club and getting BMFA membership which includes 3rd party insurance.

      Do you need a pilot license to fly a glider? According to the British Gliding Association, who are in charge of regulating everything gliding in the UK, there is currently no requirement to hold a glider pilot license if you're flying in the UK.
