Hi guys. Can anyone point me to a sailplane thats not to big and has electric motor for starting? I need something to toss in the air on weekends. I now have 4 kids from 0 to 7, and getting to the airfield isn't easy. I'd like it to be ARF or close to it. What plane would you recommend?

Protech Alpha.
I started on this one. Think its still going.
Or multiplex easystar.
Thanks! I see the easystar is easier to get hold of where I live. Do you know if the 900mAh 6 cell battery can be substitutet with a lipo-pack, or is that not recommended?

The new Thunder Tiger eHawk 1500 looks like a good value and a nice flying aircraft.
definitely recommended!
2s 1000-1300 will be similar weight, more power and MUCH more duration.dont expect more than a slow crawl to altiude with the stock motor though. Wear it out and buy a brushless!
Faboulous glider, but hardly a beginners model i think ;-)
Add the E Flite Ascent to the list. It comes either ARF or PNP ( just add RX)

Hey Stefan. The easystart or easyglider are almost the best andhave a good reputations. BUTT!! There a new kids on the block...The Graupener Junior Sport. This foam glider kost the same and hase a blushless out of the box. where as the multiplex comes with brushed cans.
The desing is almost like an easyglider and it flyes al little faster. One down site :( The carbon tube for the wing is to brittle, you need one with a thicker skin.
