The Robbe Modellsport Boo Slope Glider is a precision-engineered balsa wood kit designed for hobbyists who appreciate the art of building and flying scale model sailplanes. With a generous 800mm wingspan and authentic slope-glider proportions, it captures the classic profile of a competition sailplane in a manageable desktop size.
Balsa wood and GFK construction ensures a lightweight yet rigid airframe
Slope-glider design — no motor or propulsion required, pure thermal flying
Complete kit includes balsa sheets, GFK reinforcement, and all necessary hardware
What makes the Boo Slope Glider special
The innovative balsa construction method keeps the model exceptionally light while maintaining the structural integrity needed for repeated flights. The scale silhouette and balanced wing loading make it an ideal platform for learning the fundamentals of slope soaring without the complexity of powered flight.
Ideal for
RC hobbyists and model-building enthusiasts who enjoy the craftsmanship of assembling a scale glider from a wood kit. Perfect for pilots who want to experience the quiet, sustainable thrill of slope soaring on a local hill or grassy slope.
Application of the Robbe Boo Slope Glider
Assemble the balsa and GFK components following the included instructions, install the required 1x battery pack and servo for control surfaces, and launch from a suitable slope. The glider relies on rising air currents to stay aloft — no batteries needed for propulsion, only for the control system.
