Richard Harris Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) I have been asked by an elderly modelling friend to sort through some of his stuff. We came across this motor glider and he couldn't remember much about it other than it was built up from a kit and he'd never quite completed it. I'm hoping someone will be able to shed some light on its id please, I haven't a clue? The wing is a foam core with a span of 2900mm and is two piece The fuselage seems to be ABS and the canopy is quite thick and heavy. I have no idea of its age, any ideas gents?

Robin Colbourne Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) It looks like a Aviomodelli Ariane 5 from Italy. There are a few pictures of one for sale here: Aviomodelli Ariane 5 Motor Glider Mantua Models still show it on their website, but it appears to be out of production: Mantua UK - Ariane 5 Motor Glider Edited September 18, 2023 by Robin Colbourne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
