Dream 2.0 Slope Soarer - 2m
Description
The Dream 2 glider fuselage is sleek and has a good sized canopy hatch. The fuselage has the rudder and elevator pushrods ready-installed, with 1.8mm carbon pushrods. The rear of the elevator pushrod is already connect to the nicely engineered bell crank that actuates the all-flying tail. The fin incorporates an access hatch for maintenance, should this ever be required.
The two part wing is has a high quality finish and is of hollow molded construction. The through-fuselage wing joiner is very substantial and imparts just one degree of dihedral per panel, ensuring good aerobatic performance and an attractive look in the air. The wing has generous sized access hatches for the flap and aileron servos which can be up to 10 mm thick. The wing is available in glass and carbon layups. The carbon version is a very strong very heavy layup which should hold up well to the rough and tumble of slope flying.
The supplied accessories include all control horns, four plywood wing servo frames (for KST X10 or similar sized servos), and clevises and control rods for the flap and aileron connections. Also included ins a plywood fuselage servo mounting tray for 25mm x 12mm body sized servos (eg KST MS320, KST X12-508, KST DS215MG). No build manual is available but assembly is straight-forward. Note that although the surface finish is generally good the fit and finish of the model is not up to that of a top price European model. Small bumps and fit problems are normal at this price-point.

The dream is obviously bilt to a price. Recived with damage and uncompleted wing boxes. Some carbon fiber and resin sorted it out.
They do fly well
Great service from Hyperflight shipping to the Azores. Reasonable price for shipping. To get a similar glider from Germany was going to cost $260 euros! This is an amazing plane for the money. You said the quality was not the same as European models, but it looks pretty perfect to me! It’s a little tricky installing the control horns in the wing, and the rudder horn fairing needs to be bigger, I could barely get it to work. Had a great maiden flight yesterday, this plane is a beast, but very well mannered. Seriously fast, and very smooth. It will be my go to plane for big winds. Had a pretty rough landing on the first flight when I hit a hidden mound in the landing area. It knocked one wing panel right off. When I was building the plane, I wondered why the wing jointer was such a sloppy fit in the fuselage. I think it is to prevent damage on landings like this. Once the wing pins pull out, there is much more give in the structure, which should help prevent damage. I’m glad I upgraded to the carbon version, landing at some slopes can be very turbulent. Looking forward to my next adventure with the Dream 2.0
