The 1.2M Huron HLG (Hand Launch Glider) is completely ARF (Almost Ready to Fly), and comes fully assembled and covered.  All the "builder" needs to do is glue in your servos, add a battery and receiver, route the pushrods, and presto! You're ready to take to the skies.

The Huron HLG is designed as a moderate glider, perfect for the pilot getting into HLG.  At 11oz fully ready to fly with gear, the Huron will signal the slightest hint of lift and allow you to learn to core thermals with ease.  The aileron controls in addition to the rudder/elevator assembly allow nimble, precision flight, helpful when used in smaller parks or thermal fields, and when coupled with a computerized transmitter, can act as spoilerons (both ailerons go up) for outstanding control on landing approach.

The Huron HLG is very easy to launch, and even easier to hand catch, and will build your confidence and provide many memorable morning flights chasing thermals.

The Huron wing is made from top quality balsa ribs, covered in transparent Oracover (like Monocoat), and the fuse is light fiberglass nose (with removable nose cone for easy assembly!) and a tapered carbon tail boom for low weight and high strength.

We recommend using a 4 cell 200 mAh NiMh or equivalent sized battery pack, HS-50 or HS-56 sized servos for the tail group and ailerons, the Electron 6 ch. receiver, with the case removed for minimum weight.
