Great Planes® fling hand launch
Simply put, the Fling ARF is one of Life’s small pleasures. It’s so modestly priced that almost any pilot can afford it, yet offers extras that many larger and more expensive gliders lack. Plus, it’s so light and compact that a hand launch and a football field supply all the lift and room needed for lazy afternoons of relaxed thermal riding. By contrast, assembly speeds by in just a few hours, leaving all the more for the fun part of flying. 40mph to auto-glide mode. *This comment was retired from the Great Planes official site*.

I like gliders! This one has nice and smooth design. Stable, but roll is rather slow compared to the pitch. Check out my Eagle Glider for more information.
