Ok,  I've read the  FAQ and  decided to build a Standard class sailplane
as my first R/C craft.

I'd like to solicit comments on:
Dynaflite Butterfly
Airtronics Olympic II
SIG Riser 100

I  also need recommendations on books about sailplanes (building and flying)
and radios. (As my kids will eventually push me into power I thought I'd go
with a good 4ch setup.)

Thanks in advance for the help-- Mike.
