Of course, different types of glider have different flight characteristics and at the other end of the scale the sleek racing gliders can be thrown around the slopes at crazy speeds in strong winds. And while on the subject of speed, did you know that the fastest radio control aircraft in the world is a glider?! Not a jet but an rc glider! Yep, the current world record (as at 2012) is getting close to 500 m.p.h in the sector of dynamic soaring. So you can see that radio control gliders offer more than you might think!
