The Carl Goldberg Classics® Sophisticated Lady and Gentle Lady have long been recognized as two of America’s favorite sailplanes. Now, Great Planes® has updated these classics for today’s avid glider enthusiasts. The airframes on both have been re-engineered with laser-cut, interlocking parts for even greater strength and straightness. And while they now arrive covered in genuine MonoKote® film, they feature the same trim schemes as the iconic originals. But they do more than mirror the originals’ good looks; they also offer the same gentle handling that sport pilots enjoy and first-time pilots need. Their high-wing design makes them stable and easy to handle even at the low speeds new pilots prefer. They’re forgiving teachers for first-timers, relaxing for old pros and ready to start chasing thermals in just a few hours.
Sophisticated Lady™ ARF:
- Lightweight balsa/ply construction with built-up wings
- A graceful, T-tailed soarer that can handle turbulence like a champ
- Radio compartment is reinforced by plywood
- Decals and instructions included
SPECIFICATIONS
Wingspan: 78 in (1980 mm)
Weight: 27-30 oz (765-850 g)
Length: 42 in ((1060 mm)
Retail

Gentle Lady ARF:

You know you’ve been waiting for it – and now you can have it – for FREE! New upgrades are here just waiting for you to download the software and turn your 8FG into a 14-channel radio while adding support for Futaba’s CGY750 3-axis system! And that’s just the beginning: Add in the ability to adjust the swash trim from the swash screen, VPP (variable pitch prop) support, stick calibration by the end user, a user customizable menu, the ability to assign any stick, switch or lever to any channel, turn the warning beeper on or off and much more. No other radio can touch the features of the Futaba 8FG with the upgraded software!
Check out all the features:
- 14 Channels, 12 proportional, 2 switched
