"glideTEK" specializes in gliding models, both free flight and RC along with related accessories. These unique models and products are in most cases hand built by master craftsmen.
These master craftsmen are proven contest flyers who love the sport, the competition, and the beauty of gliding models. When you receive your model you will be thrilled to see the quality and the technique used to create this high performance model.
Dave Edmonson of 4747 Westminster Circle, Eagan, Minnesota, 55122, United States of America is the sole proprietor of glideTEK.
I am an avid free flight and RC sailplane flyer, and just really enjoy both sports.
You will see my van with the "glideTEK" sign on it at the NATS, and it will be filled with fine models, some of which I will be competing with.
Ordering:
First telephone or email to make sure that the model is available. Ask for it to be reserved for 7 days while you send in your check.
We accept good checks from modelers, or cashier checks, or money orders, but not credit cards.
Shipping is usually included in the price.
However for completed models such as F1G/F1H/F1B I require the purchase of a plywood model box for $15. Larger models such as F1A/F1J/and similar large models, I require the purchase of a large model box for $25. These are plywood boxes that you can finish and use for model storage or transportation.

Product: The models displayed are the actual to be purchased. Once this model is sold, I must reorder and it takes time. So if you see something you like, order it quick. Tomorrow it may take 30 to 60 days to get another similar model in stock,
....or you might have missed out on a one of a kind model!
Please remember: These models are created by master craftsmen, and they only build a few at a time. This is not a catalog outfit that searches for bargain goods.
About pricing, some of the models are contest proven winners by world known flyers.
Most models are only marked up a small amount, and I must pay shipping to get them here from overseas. But then I have taken the risk, and I am
located in Minnesota, and you can find me.

I watched the 2004 NATS on DVD from Alan, and it was wonderful! If you are ordering from out of the country, I can supply DVDs of the NATS held at Muncie Indiana for the years 2004, 2005, 2006 along with you other order.
