Default Flapped Glider Recommendations...

I owned a reasonably nice PIK-20B for a few years. It was the carbon
winged version and was easy to rig. The trailer wasn't all that great,
but could easily have been improved. I did a few things to it to make
it easier. I seldom spent more than 20 minutes rigging it including
taping and a positive control check. I agree with the previous poster
that they are about the best bang for the buck, if you can find a nice
one. Probably the very best thing about a PIK is the polyurethane
finish. Mine was still in excellent shape after 32 years. No gel coat
to crack and craze.
