Hi, experienced 3D pilot, little experience with Sailplanes. I recently obtained an electric Typhoon never completed. It has tail servos installed, and motor installed but nothing else. Where I fly here in OC I don't have a lot of places to fly electric. I was wondering if anyone has converted and electric back to pure glider? I'd consider trading for a similar sailplane. I am looking for something I can fly in lighter wind. I have a Freestyler 4 for anything over 15 MPH, but I'd like a good Bluff Park bird.

RCRCM electric Typhoon

Bluff Cove in PV, or Bluff park that I think is Long Beach?
If Bluff Cove, the Typhoon will work well, but get rid of the motor. As I recall the electric wing is a little different than the glider wing on that plane, the glider being the better..I may be wrong. If Long Beach, then this is just the wrong plane, too heavy. It would sit on the grass most days.
You can stay with the electric fuselage and mount just a spinner up front, or carve a nice cone out of some wood, but the glider fuse is much nicer option if you can locate one.
