Big and easy to see … hand launches nice and level with about 50% power. Long flights floating on the wind. Easy to see up in the air. Great intro into gliding. 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.

If you’re a beginner good luck. Watch the video because there aren’t any instructions. I found the cg online but still don’t know what the rates are for ailerons, elevator or rudder. I chatted with Motion RC and got no where. I’m using the rates from a similar model. I haven’t flown it yet

I returned it.I thought the quality was a bit on the low end. I guess I was just expecting more.

I've had the Andes for a couple weeks now and have probably put 6-8 nice long flights on it. It's my first glider and I've always been skeptical of gliders, thinking they would be boring, but this thing is a blast. It went together in less than 20 minutes, runs on batteries that I already have plenty of, and can fly for upwards of 30 minutes with careful soaring and energy management. It can be a relaxing sit-down soarer or you can amp it up with aerobatics. Fully capable of repeated loops, slow rolls, and beautiful hammerhead stall turns. Also, the whooshing sound of it gliding by at high speeds is incredible!

Got it Wednesday, built Thursday, set up Friday, and finally flew Saturday. It was a great flower. The only issue was it seemed mose heavy But that was my fault I used a 320mhz 3s lipo in it I realized it was a little bit heavier than a 2200. I got it balanced and gave it a shot. She flew. Trying to dive on me because of the lipo weight, but some up trim solved that. On e she got trimmed out she turned into a homesick angel. I had to try and land her 3.tomes because she refused to land. I finally got her down and all she could do was make me smile.
