Ernie Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hi Guys, Without success, I've sarched high and low for a kit, yes one of these things you build from lots of wee bits of balsa, ply, and piano wire. I'm looking for an electric glider of around 2m span, maybe a bit bigger,that can do more than just stooge around, there must be something out there. I know I've had some leads before, but, I've got nowhere thanks ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

001 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 How about the Goldberg Electra. 78" span and a reasonable price of £68.50p. OR it would be easy to convert a Middle Phase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Beavis Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I have motorised a West Wings Lancer 100" glider that is quite pleasant. If I were doing it again, I would make sure I got my battery further back, as I needed a touch of tail weight. I would also boost the wing joiners - after a very cautious loop they were a bit bent! I have also built the WW RF 4 - quite nice, but a bit light. But have West Wings gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepish Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hi Take a look at any of the F3 res electric kits. The kits are exceptional and all the designs fly well. if you want a bigger glider look at the F5j introduction or inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Cotsford Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Gents, Microbirds looks to be a commercial enterprise resurrecting an 11 year old thread. I'd take a wild guess that Ernie probably sorted himself out in the last decade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 yes, ernie did sort himself out I think I bought an Atrain, and it flew very well until it sort of fell apart in midair. Never did get to the bottom of that ernie Edited By Ernie on 16/03/2020 09:30:42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Houghton 1 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Try these guys in Germany. I've had a couple of their kits and they are fab. Unfortunately they don't manufacture the Climaxx Compack 2m model anymore, which I have and I love flying. Hollein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
