T
he SOPHISTICATED LADY is a sailplane design that blends simple straight-forward construction with
the elegant styling of a sleek, full-scale soaring machine. The clean lines have not compromised the
functionality of this model aircraft, which you will find a delight to fly both in thermals and on the slope
And if it's competition you desire, this "Lady" can compete with the best and look great in the winners'
circle!
Although a simple two-channel radio meets the minimum requirements for piloting this model, a third
channel is more desirable, enabling you to control airborne "power-on/power-off" commands when the
electric power pod is installed. The Carl Goldberg Products Electric Power Pod (Item #678) is an option-
al accessory which provides power assistance for small-field launching, or when the towline is just too
much trouble. A small gas engine is also a power option. In addition, your sailplane so may be
launched via high start, hand tow, or winch, and, if you live in a hilly or mountainous area, you may wish
to simply pitch your glider off the slope. Whichever method you choose, the SOPHISTICATED LADY
will provide many hours of enjoyment.
