Impress your flying buddies at the slope or field with this handsome 2.8 meter glider.

Glider builders and pilots alike will love this one! The Alpha 2.8m V-tail glider offers good looks, good performance and one of the best prices you will find. The Alpha line packs a lot of performance per dollar.

When we first got these gliders into the shop as samples we were not expecting much based on the price, but after inspecting them and putting them through their paces we were very pleased. They are not top-of-the-line super awesome monsters, but they will for sure hold their own and plant a big dumb smile on your face. We don't know of another plane that comes close when you factor in the low prices.

The Alpha 2.8 is a great first 3 meter class glider or E-glider. If you are brand new to composite planes we suggest the glass layup. If you are experienced and ready to push this plane a little harder, then the carbon layup is a great choice. The carbon planes pick up some weight, but they also benefit with even more strength. If you are a slope pilot, either layup is good, but the carbon should resist damage to the wings during those short rough landings.

The Alpha is outfitted with large flight surfaces that simply add to the fun. Generous bottom hinged flaps allow this plane to put on the brakes when needed. A large carbon wing joiner allows this plane to handle the loads.

The Alpha includes additional hardware such as servo covers, servo trays, control horns, pushrods and clevises, the electric version gets a firewall as well. Electronics are not included.

Specs:

Wingspan 2800mm
Length 1460mm
Weight (Empty Airframe) 1700g
Wing Area 53.2134dm2
Firewall Diameter 36mm
Starting CG 90mm

The Alpha 2.8 glider version features a slip off nose cone and inverted tray.

The electric version features a canopy for easy battery access. 

An innovative feature on the electric version is a removable access panel on the left side of the fuselage, just behind the wing. It allows for easy access to the V-tail servos and leaves more room for your motor, ESC and battery up front.

Opening the canopy on either versions reveals ample room for your gear of choice.

The bottom of the wing shows the four carbon reinforced servo pockets for the flap and ailerons. The contrast of the top and bottom color schemes are well apparent.

Very nice, but sizing is inconsistent
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Ivory/White/British Tan
All of these Cole Haan shoes are extremely well made and I like the styling. On the other hand, the sizing is very inconsistent and you may end up having to do a lot of returns trying to find the right size. Then if you get a different color of it, you may find the sizing different yet again. If you find your right zie, they are really nice shoes at a very reasonable price for the quality.

I love this brand. These shoes look and fit great!
Size: 13 Wide, Color: Black/White/Black
I love wearing Cole Haan shoes. This is the second pair I’ve owned and the style just gets me. I’ve worn these to work at a great professional job every day, not just casual Friday. I wear these when I head out shopping or to dinner. They are functional, comfortable, built for regular and bigger wider feet and comfortable. I am 6 feet tall and my feet have changed size over the years to me needing a wider shoe to relieve pressure on my toes and front wide porting of my foot. So the 13W feels great and still walks the same as a regular 14 but more comfort for me. They look amazing and qualify in some offices as dress shoes (depending on company rules they will justify a sneaker as a shoe with the tan colored “gum” sole as a sneaker) so check company policy. The black sole on this makes it look more dressy. I am switching out the laces to match my previous Cole Haan because I think the white shoelaces look better. As an adult, aside from my Kenneth Cole boots Reaction boots and Doc Marten’s these are the only shoes I will pay 3 digits for. This looks like skater shoes but with a more mature look.

I am certainly glad I found them and finally ordered
Size: 10, Color: Ivory/White/British Tan
A bit bulkier than my Stan Smiths Leather versions, but actually more comfortable. They seem to be a bit "clunkier" looking than a streamline Stan Smith, but it's a matter of style. It works for a change of pace. Gets or picks up dirt a bit, but cleans well, except the canvas part. Has lasted almost 6-8 months with very little signs of wear. Feels very secure in any type of weather or condition. Great alternative or addition to having a pair of Stan Smiths.
