The Dancing Wings Griffin 1.5m EP Glider is a refined, compact electric sailplane that offers an outstanding blend of performance, agility, and build satisfaction. It is ideal for pilots looking to move beyond foam gliders into a higher-quality soaring experience, without the size or storage requirements of larger sailplanes.

Whether you're flying from a local park, thermal field, or gentle slope, the Griffin delivers smooth, efficient, and rewarding flight every time.

✈️ Compact Electric Performance Glider — Agile, Efficient and Beautifully Engineered

The Dancing Wings Griffin 1.5m EP Glider is a sleek, lightweight electric sailplane designed for pilots who want a responsive, efficient, and elegant glider in a compact format.

With its 1.5 metre wingspan, refined aerodynamic profile, and traditional laser-cut balsa and plywood construction, the Griffin offers excellent glide efficiency, smooth handling, and predictable behaviour — making it ideal for electric thermal flying, light slope soaring, and relaxed weekend gliding.

Compared to larger thermal gliders, the Griffin is more agile, easier to transport, and better suited to smaller flying fields, while still delivering the refined flight feel expected from a quality sailplane.
