Does this glider come with ailerons and spoilers?

@turdsurfer this one is set up with just elevator and rudder. As you can see it floats on landing and you could put spoilers on it(supposed to be RES) but i like this plane for being so simple. i have more complex planes but they are often in the repair shop. Hook a thermal with this thing off a hi-start and up you go. once in a thermal you can really throw it around. I love it

Hay that looks like a lot of fun! I would like to see more videos of that flying around the beach like that, this video is to short, sort of a tease. I keep watching it over and over. Great plane, think I will start saving for one.

Thanks. I just bought one but I still need to start building it. I'm not sure if I'll add spoilers yet and what for spoilers. I'll start without, but I think it's safer to have spoilers just in case it ends up very high in a strong thermal and I need to loose altitude fast.

Are those black stripes on your wings electrical tape for holding the detachable wing parts together?

That sucker is hard to catch, it wants to fly!

Nice one.
