EPP combat flying wings are virtually indestructable, which means you can actually learn how to fly them without worrying too much about crashing, as a crash will only hurt your pride (or your head if you fly into yourself). This is a big advantage over the traditional balsa and/or fibreglass carbon gliders, which become unflyable in the hands of a beginner after a failed fight against gravity!.

So have a look around the site - hopefully you will find some helpful information, some nice photos, and maybe even a glider to buy! Most of all, have fun - that's what it is all about!
