Great Planes - Spirit Elite

Spirit Elite makes a fine first sailplane kit for experienced R/C pilots. Its interlocking, mostly balsa parts quickly produce a lightweight, low drag airframe. Yet the model also makes full use of advanced radio mixing functions – and gives skilled sailplane fliers contest-winning control and maneuverability!

Advanced Selig/Ashok Gopalarathnam SA7035 and SA7036 airfoils enhance speed and offer easy wind penetration without requiring ballast Two-piece, bolt-on wing's ply/aluminum joiner provides the strength to handle hi-start and electric winch launches Wing can be built with dihedral for efficient forward flight or polyhedral for quick turns – triple taper platform improves lift and reduces tip drag Aileron and flap micro servos are recessed in easy-access wing hatches to minimize drag and improve performance Lift-off, vacuum-formed canopy conceals the radio compartment.
