Overview
Andes Glider 2000mm (78.7") Wingspan - PNP from Skynetic - SKY1053-001
Soar to new heights with the Andes 2m glider, expertly designed for both seasoned pilots and newer pilots seeking a thrilling flight experience. The Andes combines advanced features that ensure top-tier performance and ease of use, making it a standout in its class.
The Andes glider is engineered with cutting-edge aerodynamic features designed to minimize drag and enhance flight performance. Its full-flying horizontal stabilizer offers superior pitch control and optimal gliding efficiency. The internal elevator linkage contributes to a sleek, streamlined design, significantly reducing drag. Additionally, the folding propeller optimizes power delivery during climbs and folds away seamlessly when not in use, further decreasing aerodynamic resistance and maximizing glide performance.
Molded-in alignment marks ensure precise positioning of the full-flying horizontal stabilizer and a durable skid plate protects the fuselage during landings. The spring-loaded battery hatch allows for quick and easy battery changes and assembly is a breeze with just two screws securing the main wing. Reinforced with carbon fiber and fiberglass spars, the Andes is built for strength and durability, giving you confidence in every flight.

Andes Sailplane Review

The fact is it does not come with assembly instruction does not help a builder assemble and then fly it well. No rates really is not good because it needs to tell the new owner that elevator needs to have minimal travel and alot of expo or you will be ballooning during the first flight, making the flying experience terrible. It took me several days of flying to determine 1500 mah size batteries were best for the unspecified CG, that you really need to trim it to your flying style and that the motors will make it balloon up every time you add power, so it is not an out of the box flyer. I would recommend help from an experienced sailplane flyer to get it setup to your flying style. in general, worth the money, high quality, but needing some care to get it to fly well.

Only wish is that it had flaps or brakes to slow it down for landing. Went into a dive under full power and when I pulled out the wings fluttered very badly damaging them … My fault as I should have cut power.
