Model Gliders

Model gliders make a great gift for (older) children, but you don’t have to be a child to enjoy flying them. In fact, flying model gliders is a popular hobby for adults who enjoy being outdoors and making full use of modern technology to have a fun day out.

We have a big range of radio controlled model gliders – the perfect way to start your model flying experience. Model gliders can provide hours of fun and are capable of impressive aerial acrobatics. They come in a range of colour combinations so whatever your dream glider, you can probably get it through us.

Model gliders are great for the R/C hobbyist just starting out as they are cheaper and simpler to control and manoeuvre than other radio controlled aeroplanes. If you’re looking for something to get a beginner R/C hobbyist then our range of model gliders is perfect. You can browse available models and read about their different specifications and qualities. If you’re looking to treat yourself to a new glider, then you’ll be glad to know that we work only with the best suppliers and all the models you see here are great value for money.

Model gliders can be divided into two types – thermal soaring and slope soaring. With thermal soaring gliders you do not need a hill to launch the glider. Flat areas such as paved carparks or ploughed fields work best as heat radiating from the ground will heat up the air, allowing your glider to lift.

Slope soaring gliders, as the name would suggest, require being launched from a hill top. This is a consideration when buying a glider, as not every hobbyist is going to have a suitable place to fly the glider near their home. Whatever option is best for you, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect model glider when you search our site.
