new member want bee glider

[finney]

could someone tell me the best place to buy a bee glider as i think it would be the best way for me to learn to fly thank you

your local hobby shop... but i can strongly suggest purchasing a wowings Duck, more work in putting it together, but flies IMO much nicer/smoother/performace wise... you could also look at a second hand one... im sure someone would have a wing lying around somewhere...

Hi finney,

and welcome to Windsock!!

Can you tell us where you will be flying? I ask because there are helpful guys at all sites in SE Qld, and some sites have strong preferences for a particular type of wing, usually for good reasons.

For example, the guys at Shorncliff all fly Bees or Bevo's because their landing area is really rough and the Bees take the abuse better than anything else. They are also the easiest to build.

OTOH, the guys at Maleny prefer Ducks and Eppitech wings (my personal favourite) because they go better at these sites and the landing area is much kinder to the planes. Ducks fly really well, but they need careful building so if you're not confident it's a good idea to get help and advice with one. Pete at Wowings is a great guy and he'll definitely help you if you call him.

You can order a Bee direct from the manufacturer if you want. Consider getting more than one plane if you do, to offset the postage.

www.windrider.com.hk is the site for Bees and other nice slope planes.

Go Great!

Ken.

Hi Guys, Brenton at Bundy Hobbyworld has a heap of BEEvolutions, and a couple of bats as well. We are heading down to Toowoomba tomorrow, then to Armidale on friday, let me know if you want one of these.
