R/C Glider and Sailplane Tips, Tricks, and Planes

Gliders that are radio controlled (R/C) can be some of the most enjoyable and easiest to use R/C planes. Great for beginners, R/C gliders (often also called sailplanes) are usually much less expensive than heavy duty R/C planes intended more for advanced aviation enthusiasts. Packing a mighty punch for a lightweight bit of foam shaped into aerodynamic form, the gliders R/C power takes it to another level you just can't find in balsa wood.

Megatech Prowler : Premeir glider R/C Sailplane

Megatech Prowler 3 Channel Remote Control Glider

Amazon Price: $149.99 (as of 05/31/2012)

From the Prowler's "T"-tail glider design, which puts the horizontal stabilizer up out of the wake of the main wing, to its streamlined conical fuselage, this R/C glider is a study in low-drag/high-lift refinement. All of which adds up to smooth performance and optimized flight duration.

The combination of maximized lift and minimized drag is derived from Prowler's under cambered polyhedral wing. Simply put, nothing was over looked when it came to designing stability and grace for this glider running on R/C power.

From the inception, and throughout the stages of prototype refinement and testing, Megatech designers kept one directive in mind: "Produce the most efficient and easy to fly model glider possible... then ... deliver it ready-to-fly!"
