Powered Gliders

I've gotten good flights out of my 800mm wingspan FMS EASY TRAINER. I ordered an EZ Hawk from Nitroplanes, put it together quickly and found that it flies really well. No rudder control on this one but it flies well enough. For $15 I got a micro HD video camera and will mount it to the EZ Hawk. On eBay I found an FMS 50" span Easy Trainer RTF and that will make an alternate camera plane. I'd like to have a personal drone fleet! When I've got enough experience with the current planes I'll probably order a 90" span Super Sky Surfer. I find that I like a relaxed flying experience so will probably stick with "powered sailplanes".

I'm in the process of assembling a Goldberg "Sophisticated Lady" and have the bits and pieces needed to build an electric power pod for it. It could be another good camera plane. I've stocked up on lipo batteres for these various aircraft. Probably it would be smart to buy another one of those amazing micro video cameras. I didn't really expect it to work, but it does, and works very well.
