the pictures of model gliders on this issue of ModelFlight make
you feel like having a go, then here's a couple of models from european
sailplanes that might interest you - and one of 'em is specifically
designed for the beginner.
 Eraser
Said to be perfect
for learning to fly, the Eraser is easy to fly in wind from about 10km/h
(6mph) upwards and has no bad vices. EPP construction makes the Eraser
virtually indestructible; you crash it, it will just bounce back for
more, giving you confidence to carry on learning, rather than having to go
home and rebuild your model - and confidence is what it takes to learn
fast.
Specifications:
Span: 1.2M, Section: Selig 3016, Length: 0.8M Weight: 650gm, R/C: 2Ch(
Elev/Ail), Wind: 10km/h+ Suits: Novice to expert.
Kit Includes JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING! Computer EPP Wings & Fuselage.
All Hardware, Covering and Reinforcing tape, 16 Page Instruction Manual,
