Hello, Thinking about trying out gliders for the first time. Any recommendations for beginner-friendly glider models, launch methods, or general tips for a smooth start in this aspect of RC flying?

Start with a simple hand-launch glider like the Bixler or Radian. Get used to thermal hunting and different launch techniques. Gliding is a serene experience, and once you catch a thermal, it's pure magic.
