Review by: Mike
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.
