Looks like fun!

Very nice.  I wish they would sell it separately.  I'd certainly buy it.

It's got no engine .

The L-29 is really worth the money. Like the Me262 with the Me163.

That only takes problems with it... When that prop ahead of ya stops, it really gets hot!

I've "only" been flying gliders IRL as a pilot, and oldendirt let me tell ya - it's a 2nd to none experience - excluding what I believe to be flying helis... but's that's another story :-)

Over forty years of flying, never got near a glider.  Living in Alaska, suitable lifting currents were fairly rare - especially in winter.

This vs Condor 2 Jose, it´s a match! Who wins?? Go!!

Alex,

my good old CS-PBY would win for sure :-)

I flew gliders fairly early on after starting with SEL aircraft.  I love flying them.  Pure flying, where you fly the wing, not the big fan.

Then there's the time when the big fan stopped about 8 miles from the nearest airport!  Was happy to have those glider hours under my belt at that point!

I recall a difference in the glide with the fan windmilling and without.
