An easy-flying 2-meter glider for when you want to slow things down for a while. |
Whether you prefer power-assisted take-offs, high-starts, or slope soaring, this easy-to-build glider is the perfect way to spend a lazy afternoon.
We’ve gone the extra mile to ensure that the Wayfarer is as easy to build as it is to fly. There’s a wealth of laser-cut balsa and plywood parts that go together straight and true. Laser-cutting even extends to the wing sheeting giving you the perfect fit.
A wing that is 2-meters long can be tough to transport so we’ve designed the Wayfarer’s wing as two, plug-in panels.
As a bonus, we’ve also included all the parts needed to make the removable power pod.
