Tim Donald Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I'm looking for a balsa kit to make a glider (100" or bigger preferably). I want to make it electric for use at a flat field. Can anybody recommend a full kit (not just plans) that is available in the UK? (Lockdown project !) At the moment I'm thinking the Elan 100 from Cambrianplanes but not sure what else is available. Trying to avoid the super expensive modern stuff that needs tiny radio gear etc. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickw Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 How about something like this? There may be others suitable on the Hyperflight website, and you always get good servise from them. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Kremen Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Can thoroughly recommend Hollein. Traditional Balsa & Ply build with CNC cut parts and CAD drawn plans. **LINK** Order today (Sunday), it would be on your doorstep by Weds, Thursday latest.

Lawrence Drennan Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I'd recommend this- Perfect light wind soarer, found it a v enjoyable build, but recommend you follow the motor battery setup. I've bought a few things from Hollien and have had no problem with delivery to UK **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hall 9 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Me too. I recently finished my "Inside F5J" 2.9m powered glider (Hyperflight). It was a satisfying build and it flies well in lighter conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
