I haven't seen any sailplanes on this site and thought I would maybe be the first.
As for why this sailplane (my first by the way)...it is slow and when it comes out of the air out of control it is only gravity and not power that drives it into the ground.
I am excited to see how she looks when you're finished!
I plan to add sail planes to the types of planes soon. I absolutely love working on this site! There are so many things to add and so little time in the day! lol
My wife would castrate me if I worked on my planes on the dining room table!
Believe me, the subject has come up ,lol. My butt is stuck out in the cold garage...
