Can anyone tell me what kind of glider the Sophisticated Lady is?? Is it worth buying and is there any bad reiews against it?

The sophisticated lady is a fun built up glider. It would not be classified as a high performance glider but does fairly well. I build and flew one back in the late 80s and I seem to remember being happy with it. If you are looking for a thermalling machine but still want a built up kit a spirit, spirit elite, or spirit 100 would be better choices. There are also other gliders like the gentle lady, bird of time, etc. Lots of balsa based options.

I agree. It would not be the kit I would choose to build. I had a spirit 100. Would love to have another one. Don't launch it to hard though!:eek:
