The Polish SZD-55 is a modern high-performance Standard Class sailplane designed for the serious competition pilot. Its good handling characteristics make it a popular choice for skilled pilots and for use as a club sailplane. With an aspect ratio of 23.4 and a L/D of 44, it performs well in a wide range of soaring conditions, constantly placing at the top in international soaring competitions. The SZD glider company produced also the famous Mucha and Foka gliders.

You probably have here the smallest flying semi-scale all moulded glider on the market. It took of 2 years to the designer to refine the plane so it has great flying characteristics and is good looking. All what we can say that he achieved his goal. This little glider is amazing flies like a larger ship on the slope, tracks like hell, very versatile, a incomparable joy. The control is by wingeron and rudder, so it almost a full house ship.

The kit comes completely finished. The wings are fibreglass molded. The clear plastic canopy needs to be fitted to the fibreglass fuselage and so allows you to access the radio gear. A wing joiner system needs to be installed in the fuselage. A complete hardware package completes the kit. All what's required is your radio gear. You will need 3 sub-micro servos and small 4CH Rx.
