Q1. Are these RC sailplanes competition approved?
Yes. Our RC sailplanes are designed for F5J and F3J competition use, with lightweight carbon construction, optimized wing profiles and structural strength that meet common competition standards. Always check individual product specs for exact rules in your event.

Q2. I’m new to F5J/F3J, which model should I start with?
If you are a newer pilot, look for models described as “Ultralight” or “Standard” with stable handling and forgiving stall behaviour. These versions are easier to trim and fly, while still offering top-level performance as you gain experience.

Q3. Do the sailplanes come with servos, motor and electronics installed?
Most RC sailplanes are sold as airframes only, or with specific options such as IDS/servo installation. Check the product description for each model – it will clearly state if servos, motor, ESC or wiring are included or if they are optional upgrades.

Q4. Do you ship RC sailplanes internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide using reinforced packaging to protect wings, fuselages and accessories in transit. Shipping options and costs are shown at checkout based on your location.

Q5. Can I get replacement wings, tails or spare parts later?
For popular models, replacement wings, tail sets and hardware are usually available. If you don’t see a specific spare listed, contact us and we’ll confirm availability or lead time for your model.

Q6. What power setup do you recommend for electric F5J versions?
We suggest pairing our F5J airframes with a lightweight outrunner motor, matched ESC and high-quality LiPo pack that keep the overall nose weight low. Check each product page for recommended motor, ESC and battery ranges.
