I am thinking about buying a small slopeglider.
At a show I have seen two kits (I don't know the manufacturer):
Stryker (a bit like a fighter) and Shogun (very futuristic),
both with styro/balsa wings and plastic fuselage.
At the show they claimed that the fuselage is indestructible.
Who has knows about them, has flown them and so on...

    A friend of mine recently purchased the Shogun from Hobby Shack.  It is
a nice little kit but it is very VERY small.  Mini servos are almost a must
as well as a mini receiver pack.  The plane is not light for it's size so a
brisk wind is also a must.  This is NOT a beginner aircraft.  It will take
a few good knocks but I can see that it would not be a fun plane to learn
on.

Best Wishes,
