The Super Soarer is a large tow line glider, a 1940's design by Robert Bradford for experienced builders.
What's the difference between kit G-04 Super Soarer and G-04RC Super Soarer? Kit G-04RC is based on the vintage G-04 plan with RC conversion. The RC plane has a straight leading edge, G-04 has a swept back wing. The RC plane includes additional wood for the leading edge of the wing and the control surfaces, plus Easy Hinges, control horns, and screws.
This tow line glider kit includes a full-size rolled plan, printed balsa and hand-picked balsa strip wood, and wire for the tow hook. To build this kit you will need a hobby knife, fine sandpaper, building board set, glue, covering material and a towline.

"Thought maybe you would like to see the pics of my FF Super Soarer, which I converted to RC a while back as a semi-scale model of a Reiher sailplane. It flies great on the slope! It was rather a long journey that involved two steps, years apart...First, converting it from free flight to RC. building thread And then later I thought it deserved to look better, so I converted it into something that looked like a Reiher building thread " - Brett Jaffee Below is a little video of a touch and go on the slope.
