Lightweight sailplane based on the ASK-21 and DG808 competition gliders. This one has the wings on rotators to simulate the full-wing flaps available on real competition sailplanes to trim for ideal glide ratio.

This plane is matched as closely as possible to the correct weight, wing area and wing loading of a real sailplane.

I personally recommend the location "Pyramid of Et" for soaring right now!

    Can I ask a couple of things....ok so because I'm on IOS I don't have the desert so where is the 2nd best place.... Also do you think gliders are a popular demand because I might build some, and lastly how did you put the cockpit glass in the fuselage @GrahamSimmons and do you want me to ask a dev about thermals because that's a great idea......

    @MikuKat Perhaps this is a good time to ask @WeeBabySeamus if we can have thermals and ridge lift in the game for soaring! :D

    @GrahamSimmons Maybe Weebabyseamus accidently featured the wrong build xD

    @MikuKat Thanks, I have no idea how that happened! It's a very simple plane by design. Perhaps not many people have made sailplanes before? I'm new to the game!
