Dream 2A gorgeous plane, how ever there was some minor flaws out of the mold, a couple wavy spots. I strengthened the canopy area and the the nose wit a little more carbon tow. Running a fairly hot set up, Nue 1512y / 5.2 gear on 2200 mah 5s turning a GM 15 x 16 RFM thin. Putting out close to 2000 watts. Been yankin some high speed 90 degree pulls with little wing flex. For the price this makes a nice all arounder / hotliner. I would also recommend the magnus, running a FRD geared set up with a 11 x22, hauls ass, also a nice little DS’r

I bought the electric version of the Dream 2 with the intention of completing it as a slope glider initially, and later converting it to electric. Component quality really very good: fits good, no excess flash, nice tight seams. No real problems in the workshop, but if it's your first moulded model get some help for installing the radio: the horns are fiddly, and the fuselage pushrods have to be 'just so' in order to avoid clashing. First flight at the Long Mynd was very satisfying: with a safe forward CG the glider immediately flew straight and level, but responded well. The ailerons were too sensitive for my taste, the elevator too 'soft'. Inverted needed considerable 'down', so the CG was too far forward. First landing very good: crow settings just right. Removed 50g of nose weight, increased aileron Expo, and the model turned out to be just about perfect: inverted with very little down, ailerons more manageable, elevator exactly right for my taste. Three long flights that first day, and I went home very happy. I plan to report again once the electric power system is installed.

Reasonably priced mouldie !An excellent product for the price, very attractive glider which I intend to use as a slope soarer and also flat field. A very minor irritation is the supplied hardware is not good, the metal clevises and rods are poor in terms of fit, I substituted mine for better. However a very nice machine for the price. Excellent service from Hyperflight as usual.

GreatI've been flying the dream for 2 month as of this review. I typically fly almost everyday on small beach dunes, my outdoor videogame. The glider is very adaptable, stable, and maneuverable. Outfitted with the Xpower storm and 4S power, I don't toss just let the power pull it out of my hands. I have had it in medium strength thermals, and it did ok for a heavier glider, medium flaps and the turn radius was within 15 yrds. I didn't care for the carbon control rods and re-fit with 4mm, the other supplied hardware isn't top line but will work.
Already ordered the 2.8m version...if that tells you anything.

Tjirc DreamAfter a long search for a decent sports glider for use on a flat field I decided to get a Dream. Initial impressions are very good and Neil's service is excellent. I will be putting the plane together in a few months time but don't anticipate ant problems. If you want a decently made inexpensive, well relatively, then the Dream is a good contender.
