Welcome to the world of electric gliding! Are you one of those people who want to have a go at electric flying, but have been put off by the thought of heavy battery packs and short flights, as well as the expense? If so, you are like me, and are wrong! All you need is a six cell 7.2v car pack, one of the 450 type engines, or a Lemans 360, and an Astroflight reduction gear, which will not break the bank (when you think of the cost of fuel, glow plugs, props, etc) and off you go to the field. I can guarantee that you will have flights of eight to ten minutes in the poorest of lift conditions. During the winter months, when everything is freezing cold and still, I have had fights of twenty-five minutes. Don't forget - no bungees or tow lines, no noise, no mess but just relaxing slow flying! Still not convinced, I bet! Have a go and you won't be disappointed, especially you beginners ...
Construction
The construction is very simple and well within the reach of any beginner. The fuselage is very simple to make from 1/4in square, which is pinned to the plan
