Has anyone else seen this recent announcement: http://www.horizonhobby.com/products...ne-pnp-PKZ6675

Intriguing. The ready-to-fly weight is advertised as 27.7 oz. Excellent for an ARF with a wingspan of 88.6"!

I have been following it since it the announcement, love scale gliders and the price, it is not bad, have to look at it when it comes out. it would be easy to convert to electric without killing the scale lines if there is enough space inside like this one in the picture. In Japan they use this drive type a lot on scale gliders, I guess they do not have much space for winches.

As I was looking for availability at Hobby Hobby site for the Parkzone, I came across the new K8 from Phoenix models 3.5m and 6 m scale ARF and also very promising with the 3.5m at $415.99

Here is the link http://phoenixmodel.com/Product.aspx?ProductId=294

Keep those scale gliders coming!

I agree, Dan! There seems to be a glider renaissance among the manufacturers right now. Quite a few new models are being introduced.

Cheers
