HobbyKing Mini-Swift (you can see another plane behind it: SlowFly)
Multiplex Fox (for comparison)
A small little glider that improved my handling of rudder control. Basically, it is a copy from the Multiplex Fox that has a power system. Surprisingly, the Mini-Swift handled well against strong winds and is one of my favourites. Alas, the motor shaft, solder joints and ESC gave way too often too easily. I stopped flying it after having replaced the motor twice and also the ESC. Though a good glider, it lacks any serious sort of aerobatic capability since it is way too light. It is frequently blown off-course by the winds. The CG point mentioned by others stated it at the saddle point but for me, using a 850mah 2S1P battery in the cockpit bay worked fine.
