Scale Dart 15 glider. 3000mm span

5 servo's 2xwing, elevator, rudder, aerotow

I bought it 2nd hand December 2005, I've flown it twice hence selling.

Overall condition is good it would benefit from a touch up of paint mainly on the wings.

The wing joiner is missing, I used 2 trimmed off hacksaw blades which worked fine as a temporary measure.

There is a piece missing from the canopy which is currently taped over.

The fuselage appears to have never been repaired.

To fly you'll need a receiver and battery pack.

Richard's Weasel at Frocester	Sunset at Selsley
Tuesday After the long weekend it was back to reality and hard work, luckily this was soon over. The lift was good at Frocester in the afternoon and westerly enough for the bowl to be flown. which was free of paragliders. In the evening at Selsley Gordon flew his Alan Head Rapport, the light lift just enough to keep it in the air. A perfect evening sat on the grass flying HLGs
Wednesday Plenty of thermal lift on Minchinhampton Common, a little rough at times. Photo My Lazer 3D, a bit overpowered by a Hacker A20
Thursday at Rodborough, good lift for the bowl. The birds made lift spotting too easy. Andy's Calypso liked the conditions and avoided the difficult landing by using the football field.
Friday, Rodborough again, This was very good for a while with regular thermals coming up from the valley, but spoilt when the wind went northeast. I went to Minchinhampton and got a few small thermal and one big one that took my Highlight to cloud base. Only three fliers perhaps many people suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia

Saturday, Summer has arrived early the warmest day this year and some great thermal lift at Rodborough. This got too easy so off to Minchinhampton for some flat field. Doug's Silent Dream went like a dream, fast climb, nice thermal turns, good glide, but tried to keep going when Doug landed.

Sunday, a good power flying day on Minchinhampton common. Thermal lift built up mid morning and faded as a light northeasterly breeze sprang up. Selsley was good in the afternoon, a series of thermals until 4.00PM when the wind filled in from the west strong enough for Michael to fly his 1/4 scale Discus, that me throwing it
