Hi Keith,

I was away in Germany for a week. Just came back yesterday night. The Multiplex Easy Glider is almost ready to fly. Just need to put a battery in it and balance it and it should be ready to go.

Oh Alan, thank heavens you’ve come back so I can have a sensible conversation with someone. :clap:  

(The problem with this forum is that there are too many foreigners on it!) :lol:  

Glad that you new “baby” is nearly ready for action. Hopefully you’ll get a chance sometime this weekend.
Big L. is completely snow covered at the moment. I have no idea what the road access is like. Probably need a 4x4 to get up there for the next few days!

And Ed,……I’m sorry but there can be no excuse for listening to the “Bird” song. :roll:  

I thought you were a cultured and sophisticated fellow who’d been edge-a-m-cated, like wot I have! :wink:

Ok folks, to bring this thread back down to earth...

I've ordered my next model, it's the FlyFly Magic Condor Evo4.
It's a 3m fiberglass full house wing and wait for it..... only cost me €99 + €6 P&P from Austria!!!!
The UK retail is 180 sterling.

Here is the only video I could find...

WoW Ray, I might get you to buy my next model. You’re either very good at negotiating price and shipping, or have the patience of a saint to search for a good deal! :clap:

That’s a big bird! (But I thought only the fuse was glass and that the wings were sheeted?) Either way she’s a very impressive plane and no one will be able to call out “Cheat” when you fly her :D

I’ll look forward to watching you put her through her paces on the slopes. With the Eppler 205 wing section you’ll have to treat her like a woman. (With respect, but a little bit rough sometimes! :P )

Hey Ray,
Nice choice, ive heard she`s a nice ship. There was a video floating around of the Condor being put through it`s paces at a place called The Farm in New Zealand somewhere. Worth finding, nice video i think it`s on the Rc Groups Condor thread. Will try and dig it up for you.
