Overview
Cardinal 1400mm (55.2") Wingspan - PNP from Skynetic - SKY1027-001
The Skynetic Cardinal is a beginner glider with tri-dihedral to increase wing performance and stability. The Cardinal comes with a MS2208 Kv1550 brushless outrunner motor and 6x4 propeller to get you up to altitude in no time to begin your search for thermals. Flaps are molded into the wings to help with slower flight and landings for beginners. Just add the flap kit for functionality (optional). The Cardinal is a fun, introductory glider for anyone that enjoys the tranquility of "surfing the wind."

Two things I would like differently: 1. The union of the wing with the fuselage is very fragile and may break in a small crash. It might be better if the wings just rests on top of the fuselage (and ties with the existing rubbers), and 2. The cable for the aileron servos (and the flaps, for anyone who adds them extra) is a bit short and I had to buy a 10cm extension so I can easily put the wings on and take them off during transport.
